About the session
What’s covered
Meet XPRIZE innovators working on cutting-edge climate-tech solutions! This session showcases the transformative solutions developed by standout XPRIZE teams. These innovators are pioneering advancements in environmental sustainability and have built climate-focused solutions while participating in XPRIZE competitions. After the showcase, there will be time for attendees to mingle with the innovators during a happy hour.
Learn more about the showcase pitches:
- Luke Griswold-Tergis, Alaska Future Ecology Institute (XPRIZE Carbon Removal)
The Alaska Future Ecology Institute focuses on “arctic rewilding,” reintroducing large wooly animals to northern ecosystems to stimulate carbon removal and sequester it in the soil on a gigaton scale. - Alexander Ip, CERT Systems (NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE)
CERT Systems converts CO2 emissions into valuable chemicals like ethylene using a record-breaking electrocatalyst, offering a scalable, emissions-free solution powered by renewable energy. - Kevin Weekly, Think Circuits (XPRIZE Wildfire)
Think Circuits specializes in robotics and consumer electronics, using detection drones with a proprietary fire detection system that combines radio-frequency and visual sensor fusion for rapid fire localization. - Gabriel Nunes, ETH BiodivX (XPRIZE Rainforest)
ETH BiodivX utilizes drones and innovative “backpack laboratory” technology, combining AI, citizen science, and field eDNA to conduct cost-effective environmental analysis in remote areas. - Matan Rudis, Gigablue (XPRIZE Carbon Removal)
Gigablue develops marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) technology using geo-targeted particles to boost phytoplankton growth for carbon fixation and deep ocean sequestration. - Jason Aramburu, Applied Carbon (XPRIZE Carbon Removal)
Applied Carbon creates mobile pyrolysis systems that convert agricultural waste into biochar, enhancing soil health and promoting carbon sequestration directly in the field.
