Armogrid

Renewable Energy

Armogrid Power Limited is a company based in Nigeria that aims to bridge the energy access gap by providing cost-effective and efficient renewable energy storage systems, specifically lithium-ion batteries. Nigeria, with a significant energy supply crisis, faces a large energy access deficit, impacting various sectors of the economy and the standard of living. Armogrid seeks to address these challenges by manufacturing and supplying lithium-ion battery packs for renewable energy storage. Initially targeting mini-grid developers, business owners, and homeowners in Nigeria, Armogrid plans to expand its market and engage in forward and backward integration along the renewable energy value chain. Their lithium-ion batteries offer reliability, efficiency, longer lifespan, faster charging, and require less maintenance compared to lead-acid batteries commonly used in the Nigerian market. Armogrid aims to provide sustainable energy solutions and contribute to improving the standard of living in Nigeria and Africa.

Prodecologia (Soncefor)

Waste Beneficiation

Prodecologia (NVF Prodekologia) develops technology and equipment for separating and recovering the components of end-of-life solar panels, alongside a broader line of magnetic, electrostatic, and sensor-pneumatic separators for material processing. Its solar-panel innovation enables the re-use of about 95% of a panel's glass - the single most valuable component - turning a difficult recycling problem into recoverable material for new panels. The company's strengths are technical (around 25% higher component-separation efficiency than competitors), technological (solving the customer's process problem rather than only selling machines), and organizational (tailored solutions with installation, commissioning, author supervision, and rapid service response). Recycling a single solar panel cuts CO2 emissions by about 67% compared with primary production. Prodecologia follows a B2B model targeting European enterprises that recycle solar panels.

eSwitch AI

Transportation

eSwitch AI is a hardware-agnostic Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and Microgrid OS designed specifically for enterprise commercial EV logistics fleets. The transition to zero-emission transport is currently bottlenecked by constrained municipal grids and crippling Time-of-Use (TOU) peak tariffs.
Our software solves this by transforming passive logistics depots into active, intelligent energy hubs. Utilizing unified API frameworks (such as Enode), our platform ingests real-time vehicle telemetry (State-of-Charge, dispatch schedules) alongside localized depot infrastructure data (solar PV yield and Battery Energy Storage levels).
Our proprietary AI engine acts as an automated orchestration layer. It dynamically throttles DC fast chargers to prevent site overloads, autonomously pauses non-urgent charging during peak tariff windows, and actively prioritizes "free" on-site solar energy. By removing the need for massive, expensive physical grid upgrades, eSwitch AI guarantees fleet charging uptime during load-shedding while radically reducing the blended operational cost per kWh.

MELT WATER

Water Efficiency

MELT WATER has developed the world's first freeze-based (cryogenic) water purification technology: only pure water crystallizes into ice while contaminants remain liquid and drain away, so no filters or membranes are needed and natural minerals are preserved. Its AI-integrated, maintenance-free smart device delivers cold, hot, sparkling water, and ice in one unit, with a mobile app for real-time monitoring and sustainability reporting. Compared with conventional filters and reverse osmosis, MELT eliminates consumables and plastic waste and cuts wastewater by up to seven times. The company sells directly and via subscription across home, plus, and pro product lines for households, offices, and hospitality. Its environmental impact is substantial: every 1,000 devices save around 15,000 kg of plastic and 24 million liters of water each year. MELT has deployed over 200 devices, built a partner network through its bottled-water arm, and earned recognition including Top 100 Ukrainian startups and a Forbes foodtech listing. The company's founder, Andrew Osadchyi, also served as a juror at Cleantech Days 2026.
