As a result of its research, the company have developed and created its own hydroponic equipment, which, beyond the advantages of hydroponic technology, can be rotated manually or automatically. This way, up to 25% less energy needs to be used for lighting than if it were illuminated on all sides. Due to the innovative design of the equipment, the size of the system can be adapted on demand. The cpmpany currently sells equipment one by one, as well as large systems by building several towers together.

AquaShield is a state-of-the-art monitoring and control device that can be used to optimise the operation of any hydroponic or aquaponic greenhouse. With AquaShield, all the important parameters of a garden (pH, temperature, humidity) can be monitored in real time from anywhere. Thanks to the built-in control systems, the vast majority of cultivation tasks can be automated, avoiding various emergencies. As a result, the greenhouse can operate much more safely, while achieving higher yields.

The company is all about data-based urban tree care. It believes that the older the tree, the better it is for the environment and more. Adbian converts data into 3D models, which are then used to test the stability of a particular tree. Thanks to a wide range of metrics and follow-up tests, it provides arborists with valuable information on the stability of the tree and its geometry, including detailed stress analysis and analysis of material properties and internal cavities.

Joby Aviation is a California-headquartered transportation company developing and manufacturing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing aircraft which they intend to operate as a commercial passenger aircraft beginning in 2024.

The company has spent more than a decade developing and testing  zero-emissions aircraft that will enable a pilot and four passengers to leapfrog over the congestion below on journeys of five to 150 miles, at speeds of up to 200mph.

The Volocopter's aim to become the leading Urban Air Mobility service provider worldwide. With their innovative technology, products, and services they will support cities in sustainably transforming their mobility concepts. Volocopter saves time, is extremely safe, emission-free, and quiet. At Volocopter are developing the complete ecosystem including aircraft, take-off and landing infrastructure, and integration into air traffic management systems. They bring Urban Air Mobility to life.

The integration of flexible take-off and landing infrastructure in megacities is crucial for the success of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and for air taxi operations. In order to advance the development of this infrastructure, they have been working with Skyports, a British vertiport developer and operator, since 2019. They developed the VoloPort, which we will show for the first time publicly in Singapore.

The VoloCity will become the first commercially licensed Volocopter, developed according to the high standards and requirements of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Their intensive testing programme has shaped the innovative design and outstanding overall performance of the VoloCity. Quiet, safe, and comfortable, the VoloCity engenders Urban Air Mobility.

Based on big data, EHang's smart logistics ecosystem uses cloud computing and autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) to build the aerial logistics network via air transportation. The difficulties in delivering goods to urban and rural areas, industrial parks and islands will be solved and a more intelligent and convenient shopping environment will thus be created. EHang logistics AAVs will fly along with the pre-programmed route, and complete the  pre-programmed task. There is no need for manual intervention over the course, improving the delivery efficiency.

Purdue University engineers have created white paint that can keep surfaces up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their ambient surroundings – almost like a refrigerator does, but without consuming energy.

According to the researchers, the paint would replace the need for air conditioning by absorbing nearly no solar energy and sending heat away from the building. Without the building heating up, air conditioning wouldn’t have to kick on.

The pilots of EVE Online now have the opportunity to help in analyzing COVID-19 data to help scientists' understanding of its impact on our immune systems. By playing Project Discovery, they will directly contribute to science. Players will achieve higher ranks through their efforts as well as receiving unique in-game rewards.

Through the use of the newly-developed flow cytometry simulators, the user will aim to contribute to decoding this debilitating pathogen.
