PhaseFoam is a New Zealand–founded clean-tech company transforming temperature control for the cold chain and building industries. Originating from more than 25 years of research at the University of Auckland, PhaseFoam has developed cutting-edge thermal storage technology that enables reliable, efficient, and sustainable temperature control across multiple applications, including transport.

Our flagship innovation, the “thermal cooling battery,” maintains food-safe temperatures for extended periods without external power, significantly reducing fuel use, emissions, and operating costs. With proven expertise in energy storage, materials engineering, and commercialisation, PhaseFoam is redefining sustainable cold-chain and temperature-control solutions worldwide

Sapro-Tech is developing next-generation sustainable leather alternatives. Our proprietary biopolymer material delivers the look, feel, and performance of animal leather—without plastics or toxic chemicals. Designed for scalability, it can be produced at lower cost per m² than animal leather by integrating seamlessly into existing dry polyurethane leather production lines. This drop-in compatibility eliminates costly infrastructure changes, enabling rapid scale-up. Sapro-Tech’s vision is to establish a specialised development and production hub in New Zealand, while partnering with brands and manufacturers in Asia to license the technology and drive global adoption of sustainable, circular leather solutions.

Neocrete has developed an additive that reduces carbon and cost for the concrete, while producing concrete more resilient to the impact of climate change. Engineered for efficiency, Neocrete scales fast with low capex. Neocrete is proven in-market in real-life projects in SE Asia and NZ, and now working with a huge pipeline of customers in Europe and the USA, including the world’s largest cement companies. Our vision is for all concrete to be made with Neocrete technology by 2040.

Hiringa Energy is a green hydrogen and renewable energy company, founded in New Zealand with a strategic focus on building the infrastructure to fuel the next generation of transport and industry. Since 2016, Hiringa Energy has been developing low-carbon hydrogen production projects to supply industry, agriculture and transport. This includes Australasia’s first and only green hydrogen refuelling network for heavy vehicles and the recently announced construction of a green hydrogen to ammonia fertiliser facility in New South Wales.
