Meet the Eco Ventures
We are supporting 21 incredible early greentech ventures across the UK in EVC Cohort 1, whose solutions, collectively, span a range of greentech sectors. Meet the ventures below!
FermTech
Cohort 1
Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing, including Built Environment, Circular Economy and Packaging
What we do
We're saving 1m tons of CO2 emissions per year by 2030, by saving 100,000 tons of cocoa. We’ve developed a breakthrough: creating delicious, cocoa-enhancing ingredients that save 98% CO2 emissions versus cocoa. By transforming spent grains through fermentation, we’re cutting costs, reducing carbon footprints, and helping businesses adapt to the cocoa crisis.
HotGreen Solutions
Cohort 1
Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing, including Built Environment, Clean Energy, Efficiency and Mobility
What we do
We're replacing industrial fossil-fuel powered boilers, saving industry cost at the same time, and decarbonising 5.4Gt of Co2 produced annually by gas boilers.
MarinaTex
Cohort 1
Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing, including Built Environment, Circular Economy and Packaging
What we do
We're creating planet-conscious, 100% plastic-free materials and coatings from natural biopolymers, providing sustainable alternatives to plastics in packaging and agriculture while driving circular economy innovation.
NUNA Studio
Cohort 1
Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing, including Built Environment, Circular Economy and Packaging
What we do
We're introducing biodiversity into urban environments to help create cities that are more resilient to flooding and extreme heat and healthier places to live. Our first product, the Living Lattice, is an innovative “Vertical Rain Garden” or “Vertical SuDS” made of low carbon bio-materials, with a proprietary geometry that promotes healthy plant growth and increased water retention.
