SPOGAD is a fashion-tech company that recycles local plastic waste into high-end accessories, jewelry, and complex detailing for the premium fashion industry. It runs a closed-loop, vertically integrated system: collecting and sorting citizens' plastic waste and transforming it in-house into bespoke elements such as custom patterns, Murano-glass-like beads, recycled thread for crochet and basketry, and CNC-milled or injection-molded details, with 3D-printed recycled PET and upcycled sequins planned. Its value proposition lets premium brands produce fully local, traceable, custom-designed items from recycled plastic, accompanied by climate-accounting reports. The tiered business model spans catalogue products, custom variations, and bespoke design. SPOGAD's environmental impact includes a roughly 70% lower carbon footprint than virgin plastic and a goal of eliminating more than 11 tonnes of virgin plastic per year by 2028. Traction includes a first pilot with Yves Rocher and industry awards.

FURKHASA R&D Engineering Inc. was established on August 23, 2024, within ERCIYES TECHNOPARK, and develops modular construction technologies aimed at manufacturing lightweight composite unit elements/panels characterized by high thermal efficiency utilizing recycled concrete aggregates. The operations encompass the design of sustainable structural materials derived from waste concrete and natural minerals, as well as the fabrication of modular unit components engineered from these advanced materials. Honored with the TÜBİTAK Seal of Excellence and supported by the Development Fund of TÜRKİYE, the enterprise has completed a comprehensive three-year R&D process executed by an expert cadre of academics and engineers. The product portfolio, secured by national and international patents, initially achieved semi-finalist status in the Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP 2025 TÜRKİYE). According to carbon emission assessments conducted within the scope of the GCIP framework, the proposed modular construction systems contribute to a reduction of 101 kg of CO₂ per 1 m² of built area compared to conventional construction methodologies. In 2026, the firm integrated into the Enterprise Europe Network under the profile titled "Sustainable modular construction systems and advanced building materials derived from recycled concrete and natural materials," thereby expanding its strategic vision through international collaborations. Furthermore, the project, introduces energy storage integration into structural systems aligned with net-zero energy building targets.

GMZ Enerji Systems is a Turkish deep-tech company specializing in the development and manufacturing of next-generation PFAS-free ion exchange membranes for clean energy and environmental technologies.

GMZ Enerji develops environmentally friendly membrane technologies that offer a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to conventional fluorinated membranes while maintaining high electrochemical performance and durability.
In addition to membrane manufacturing, the company has expertise in electrospinning technologies, advanced polymer engineering, and nanofiber materials. GMZ  Enerji has also developed innovative electrospinning equipment and continues to expand its intellectual property portfolio.
GMZ Enerji collaborates with leading international research institutions and industrial partners across Europe to accelerate the commercialization of sustainable membrane technologies. The company's mission is to reduce the cost of green hydrogen and support the global transition toward a carbon-neutral energy future through innovative, high-performance, and environmentally responsible materials.

Main CEA was established to engineer aquaponics-centered eco-industrial food production systems that operationalize the three pillars of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA): (i) increased productivity and incomes; (ii) adaptation and resilience to climate change; and (iii) reduction/removal of greenhouse gas emissions. Waste generated within the production system is valorized into microalgae based agricultural biologicals to increase nutrient use efficiency in both field and greenhouse applicaitons while reducing the fertilizers usage.

BCycle SA provides sustainable transportation solutions through a network of rental bicycles made from reclaimed plastic. Designed to reduce urban traffic congestion, carbon emissions and plastic waste, the service supports clean and affordable last-mile travel in South African cities. Addressing the gap in short-distance mobility, especially in Pretoria’s central areas, BCycle SA offers an alternative to cars, buses and taxis. In partnership with municipalities, including Tshwane, Johannesburg, and Polokwane, and research institutions such as UNISA and UJ PEETS, the company champions the use of bicycles as inclusive, low-carbon transport.

We-R-Eco provides plug-in modular biogas plants that convert organic waste and wastewater into renewable biogas and nutrient-rich fertilizer. Designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), these compact, plug-and-play units offer a low-cost, scalable solution to two pressing issues: ineffective waste management and the need for sustainable energy. The technology integrates selected microbes to optimize anaerobic digestion, resulting in higher biogas yields and reduced input needs. By displacing traditional fossil fuel-based energy and chemical fertilizers, the system reduces methane emissions, mitigates landfill overuse, and promotes circular economy practices. We-R-Eco enables off-grid energy access while supporting cleaner, climate-friendly operations across sectors.

The company developed a solution E-pacer 100 - a heavy-duty electric cargo bike designed to empower waste reclaimers and recyclers in informal and underserved communities. With a load capacity of 750–850 kg (including rider), the bike enables recyclers to cover long distances efficiently while transporting large volumes of collected waste. Targeting buy-back centers and SMMEs in South Africa’s low-barrier recycling economy, the E-pacer 100 offers an affordable, sustainable transport alternative to carts or trucks, which are often inaccessible or unaffordable. Developed by recyclers for recyclers, the bike supports dignified livelihoods, improves income margins, and addresses transportation challenges in the circular economy. It is a practical tool for those who currently rely on makeshift or unsafe transport methods in their daily work.
