B’ZEOS develops novel, flexible, and home-compostable films based on seaweed extracts which can replace conventional and bio-based single-use plastic films in food-contact applications. B’ZEOS’ solution will contribute to reduce the use of non- or hardly recyclable plastic materials for single-use food packaging, thus reducing CO2 emissions. We are a team of 8 people with complementary backgrounds. One engineer in environment, two material scientists, one graphic designer, one supply chain analyst, one quality engineer advisor, one PR and marketing advisor and one CFO advisor.   Each of us are concerned by environmental issues and wanted to contribute to make a change.   We have joined this project because we are all fed up with:    - Contamination of world's drinking water with plastic fibres   - Seeing marine animals dying because of our plastic trash   - Increase of plastic packaging around fresh aliments   - Increase in plastic debris along the coast   - Both burning plastic and sending plastic to landfills   - Finding plastic while making with our kids sand castles   - Contamination with the chemicals in plastic. These chemicals are said to cause obesity, on-set puberty, and even cancer.   - Direct contamination of our kids by chewing various objects in plastic.   - Being exposed to plastic every single day and not having the chance to choose an alternative   We, at B’ZEOS and as consumers, believe in a sustainable alternative to current plastic and we have been working on the elaboration of a sustainable alternative without forcing the consumer to change dramatically his habits.

Our AI clones are designed to mimic the real personalities' mannerisms, speech patterns, and knowledge base, offering a realistic and engaging interaction that feels personal and genuine.

Eningo, is a Swedish based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) startup that wants to help the construction and utilities industry on their journey towards digitalisation. We are part of the European Space Agency Business Incubator (ESA-BIC) accelerator program since 2019 and are in a very exciting phase of our start-up journey. The team consists of highly motivated individuals coming from diverse backgrounds and professional domains with a global growth mindset. You will have the opportunity to impact our company and culture from an early stage and create a legacy of your own! We have an ambitious product vision and are building a team around that, in which you will have a key role to play from day one. Our vision is to automate and thereby decentralise the process of locating underground utilities. Today, a request made for information about hidden utility infrastructure on a construction site involves many actors. And can take up to a few days to over a week for information to be given to the requester due to the inefficiencies built into the current process. Our products are developed in-order to streamline and automate this process which reduces the lead times from days to minutes. This also enables full traceability and documentation for each request which in turn facilitates accountability in case of damaged infrastructure. We offer a suite of software products to different actors involved in the process of utility locating. Our founders have previously operated a business that provides utility locating services and have experienced the problems we are addressing first hand. This inefficiency also leads to wasted resources both for the requester(ex. Construction company) and the infrastructure owner, energy companies. We believe, by addressing this problem we will do our bit in helping these stakeholders in reducing their carbon footprint and promote efforts towards positive climate goals. Given their background in building software solutions, they knew there was a better way to do this. Getting customer feedback on this idea helped us validate the business potential even before we registered our company officially back in 2019. Our approach is to create an augmented reality based solution that can deliver information about underground utilities in a matter of seconds, instead of the days of lead times that is common today. This will not only protect the cables and pipes from damage but will increase the efficiency in construction sites.
