Raymare is a Turkish agri-biotechnology company developing bio-based inputs for sustainable crop production. The company focuses on valorizing agricultural residues through circular economy approaches to improve resource efficiency and resilience in agriculture. Raymare’s innovation is a biostimulant derived from hazelnut shell extract, combined with a chitosan-based controlled-release system. Hazelnut shells, which are commonly burned for energy generation and disposal, are processed into a functional input that supports plant growth while reducing associated emissions. The formulation is designed to enhance crop performance under water-stressed conditions by improving water retention and nutrient availability in soil. The biostimulant incorporates nanotechnology to enable controlled and sustained release of active compounds, reducing nutrient leaching and degradation. This allows for prolonged nutrient uptake by plants and more efficient use of water and inputs over time. The solution is applicable across a range of crops and farming systems where drought stress, input efficiency and soil health are critical considerations. Raymare’s technology supports agricultural productivity while reducing reliance on synthetic inputs and promoting the reuse of agricultural waste. It also aligns with Türkiye’s Green Growth Technology Roadmap and the EU Green Deal objectives by promoting circular economy principles in agriculture.

SeismoCode provides cost-efficient and low-impact alternatives to conventional seismic exploration through microtremor-based measurement techniques combined with cloud-based software platforms.

Shipsider’s system is designed to streamline freight logistics, improve data accuracy and support more sustainable maritime operations.

Sumatrix Biotech is a Turkish biotechnology company developing bio-based materials and systems through microbial fermentation, with applications spanning sustainable agriculture and circular biofabrication. The company focuses on replacing resource-intensive and non-biodegradable materials with biologically derived alternatives compatible with existing production infrastructure. One of Sumatrix Biotech’s technology applications is BacTexture, a leather-alternative material produced from bacterial cellulose through controlled fermentation processes. The material is developed as a substitute for animal- and petroleum-derived leather, without the use of synthetic binders or dedicated new manufacturing infrastructure. BacTexture is produced using optimized chemistry within established fermentation systems, enabling reduced water and energy use while supporting scalable production. The resulting biofabricated material is intended for use in fashion, design and other surface-material applications where durability and material performance are required. By addressing both environmental and ethical challenges in the leather industry, Sumatrix offers a low-impact material with high mechanical performance, suitable for sustainable applications in fashion and design.

SuTech Otonom Teknoloji A.S. is an Istanbul-based technology company, specializing in the design, software development and integration of autonomous marine vessels that convert wave energy into renewable electricity for urban transportation applications. Their technology, SuTech Wavegan, utilizes the mechanical movement between the lower and upper hulls of the watercraft, caused by wave motion, to generate electricity without relying on fossil fuels. This system offers a low-emission, energy-efficient alternative for powering vessels and supports the development of sustainable transport modes on underutilized urban waterways. By integrating with existing city infrastructure, SuTech’s solution also alleviates road traffic congestion and contributes to smart urban mobility and climate action efforts.

TechnoAlga Eco Solutions develops sustainable sun protection products using UV-filtering compounds derived from Antarctic microalgae. The innovation replaces synthetic UV filters, which are often associated with environmental hazards, toxic effects, and limited UV range protection. The microalgal filters offer broad-spectrum UV-A and UV-B protection, greater stability, and potential antioxidant and anti-ageing skin benefits. The production process is environmentally friendly, utilizing green extraction methods and zero-waste principles. Residual biomass is repurposed as biofertilizer, contributing to circular resource use and carbon-negative production.

ThermTrap is developing a latent thermal energy storage system (LHTES) designed to increase energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and lower energy costs by harnessing untapped renewable or waste heat sources. In response to the global climate crisis and aligned with international frameworks such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the European Green Deal, the solution offers a scalable and sustainable alternative to conventional energy storage systems. Unlike sensible thermal systems, the company's LHTES units can store the same amount of energy in a much smaller volume, thanks to their use of phase change materials (PCMs). These units operate near constant temperatures during charging and discharging, allowing for efficient energy transfer. Compared to chemical thermal storage systems, they are significantly safer, more cost-effective, and easier to control, avoiding the complex and hazardous requirements of chemical reaction management.
