The solar-powered technology reduces carbon emissions and uses renewable energy to support the growth of smart cities and enhance public amenities by integrating smart furniture into urban environments.

4. Volare Solutions

• Founding Year: 2021
• Industry: Food, Agriculture, Chemicals
• Technology: Sustainable Protein and Lipids

Volare Solutions produces sustainable protein, oil, and fertilizer by upcycling food industry side streams using black soldier fly larvae and proprietary technology. The process converts waste into digestible ingredients suitable for aquafeeds, pet food, agriculture, and oleochemical applications. It enables a fully circular, zero-chemical production method that reduces environmental impact while maintaining high nutritional value. This way, the company creates eco-friendly alternatives to conventional resources like soy, fish meal, and palm kernel oil.

5. Arctic Farming

• Founding Year: 2019
• Industry: Agriculture
• Technology: Indoor Farming Appliance

Arctic Farming makes two products HERBY, an indoor vertical farming appliance, and Seedpod, a growing cube system that brings space-age technology to modern agriculture. HERBY appliance uses a vertical surface to grow plants, while its advanced closed-loop irrigation system reduces water usage. Seedpod growing cubes provide a medium for growing plants. These cubes are incubated in HERBY‘s built-in nursery to ensure a continuous cycle of fresh plants ready for harvest. Together, HERBY and Seedpod create an automated farming experience that grows fresh produce year-round, whether in tropical climates or arctic conditions by reducing environmental impact.

6. Ceterio
