Description: Nova Terra's building-material technology uses natural earthen materials to produce adobe and compressed earth blocks for high-performance construction. Its systems provide durable, low-toxicity alternatives to conventional building materials while using the thermal properties of earth-based construction.

Description: Orva Energy’s computational battery-materials platform uses machine learning to analyze solid-state crystal structures and ion-diffusion pathways. The platform identifies and optimizes abundant metal-oxide cathode chemistries for energy storage applications.

Description: OsmoPure Technologies’ vapor-distillation membrane technology uses specialized membranes to separate water from contaminants through vapor-phase transport. The system is designed for industrial water purification and closed-loop water recovery in life-support applications.

Description: Ourea's direct lithium extraction technology uses porous sorbents to selectively capture lithium from geothermal brines and industrial fluids. The hydrometallurgical process separates lithium without the large evaporation ponds used in conventional brine extraction.

Description: Palanquin Power’s solid-state power-routing technology uses high-voltage direct current power electronics to control bidirectional electricity flow within microgrids. Its converters connect batteries, distributed energy sources, and industrial loads while managing power distribution.

Description: Peptide Bio's peptide-based biological fungicide technology uses plant-derived antimicrobial peptides to target fungal pathogens. The peptides interact with fungal cell-wall structures to inhibit pathogen growth as an alternative to conventional synthetic fungicides.

Description: Petric Company’s building heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control technology combines distributed environmental sensors with automated controls for ventilation systems. The system uses air-quality and occupancy measurements to adjust variable-air-volume dampers and balance ventilation requirements with energy consumption.

Description: Phlair’s electrochemical technology uses a load-flexible electrochemical process to selectively capture targeted molecules directly from ambient air. The system is designed to operate with variable electricity availability while enabling continuous molecular separation.

Description: Plastomics’ chloroplast engineering technology introduces genetic traits directly into plant chloroplasts to control trait expression and reduce the potential for cross-pollination. The approach enables targeted modification of crop characteristics such as yield and nutritional composition.

Description: Pluton Biosciences’ microbial discovery platform identifies and characterizes microorganisms with potential applications in biopesticides, pharmaceuticals, crop protection, and bioremediation. The platform uses microbial mining and cloning to isolate organisms and their associated biological functions.
