Loam Bio’s main innovation, CarbonBuilder™, is a microbial seed inoculant that strengthens the natural ability of crops to store carbon in the soil. The technology uses selected endophytic fungi that live symbiotically with plant roots, converting plant-derived carbon into stable forms that remain in the soil for long periods. Unlike many carbon-farming methods that require major changes to farm management, CarbonBuilder™ is applied as a simple seed coating and fits easily into existing cropping systems. Given the scale of global farmland, this approach has the potential to remove gigatons of CO₂ from the atmosphere if adopted widely. By improving soil health, enhancing resilience, and supporting long-term carbon sequestration, CarbonBuilder™ directly contributes to global sustainability goals (SDGs 2, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15).
ZenRobotics’ solution represents nearly two decades of AI expertise and innovation — the world’s first AI-driven waste-sorting system. Using its proprietary AI solution - ZenBrain, the system identifies and separates hundreds of materials from mixed waste streams with remarkable precision. In doing so, ZenRobotics directly advances SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by reducing landfill waste, cutting emissions, and replacing dangerous manual sorting jobs with safer, technology-driven solutions.
Enifer’s innovation is PEKILO®, a versatile, dry, shelf-stable protein powder derived from industrial upcycled byproducts. This circular solution reduces farmland use, ocean-derived proteins, and cattle-based proteins. The innovation contributes to SDG 2 by adding protein capacity, SDG 12 through upcycling side streams, and SDG 13 with a lower-carbon supply chain than conventional protein production. In addition, it supports SDG 14 by enabling aquafeed substitution of fishmeal, as well as SDG 9 by commissioning a replicable commercial-scale plant and fostering R&D for production technology.

The world needs energy systems that are reliable and secure, and it is important that the resources used by industries are sustainable. Helsinki is an example of success in energy transition. Helen will build Helsinki’s first green hydrogen production plant in Vuosaari. In the 3H2 plant, hydrogen will be produced with renewable electricity, which means that the production is emission-free. This will try to solve SDGs 7, 9, 11 and 13.
The Sternmax (models 20 and 28) is an advancing, stern-mounted oil skimmer system engineered specifically for arctic operations, with unique features such as an isolation grate, heated components, and hydraulically driven deployment, which enable continuous recovery as an ice-capable vessel advances through solid and broken ice. By enabling effective oil spill response in solid and broken ice (conditions where conventional skimming methods are challenging) it helps safeguard marine and coastal ecosystems and community waters, supporting SDGs 14, with relevance to SDG 15 along shorelines and ice-covered habitats, and SDG 13 as it functions as a climate adaptation tool by strengthening response capacity in high-risk, arctic conditions such as shipping corridors. Oil spill response operations make sure that life below water is restored and is harmed as little as possible and that life on land doesn’t suffer from oil spillages. By protecting nature at times of great risk the technology helps mitigate the overall effects of climate change by ensuring our ecosystems are as protected as possible during a time of crisis.

Pilleaux, a small Canadian enterprise, was founded by CEO Sophie Jackson, who had experience addressing the persistent travel challenge of mitigating high airline baggage fees while refusing to compromise comfort. Drawing on her business background, Jackson conceptualized a single travel accessory that could serve multiple purposes and circumvent personal item restrictions. This concept materialized as Pilleaux, a multifunctional carry-on bag designed to double as a travel pillow. The design prioritizes both practicality and elegance: the product is constructed from washable, durable materials, including 100% cotton canvas and bouclé, positioning it as a sustainable, long-lasting alternative to disposable fast-fashion travel accessories. Through this innovative approach, Pilleaux directly addresses Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) via ethical manufacturing partnerships and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting durability and multi-functionality to combat systemic travel waste.
Shosholy was created to address the environmental waste of fast fashion while preserving traditional craftsmanship. The brand’s innovation lies in turning discarded household textiles — primarily old sofa covers and upholstery fabrics — into stylish, long-lasting accessories. Each item is entirely unique, hand-stitched by Elizaveta’s grandmother in Russia and managed by Elizaveta in France, blending the elegance of French creativity with the warmth of Russian artisanship.
The process begins with sourcing pre-loved materials destined for landfills. These fabrics, known for their strength and texture, are paired with bamboo accents — a renewable and biodegradable resource — symbolizing renewal and natural beauty. The production generates zero water waste and reuses every scrap of material, resulting in a 100% zero-waste design cycle.
As Elizaveta explains, “Shosholy became our way of showing that fashion can be slow, emotional, and sustainable — that every accessory can have a soul, not just a logo.”
This emotional craftsmanship differentiates Shosholy from fast fashion by emphasizing authenticity and storytelling over mass production. The brand’s approach aligns with UN SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land) by minimizing waste, reducing environmental impact, and promoting mindful consumption.
