The projected future impact with ALDStone influence is going to transform the built environment sector from linear to circular, providing a more sustainable economic model and more regenerative environmental protection, through less waste of natural resources and doing more with what we already have.

ALDStone is an innovative, visionary, circular solutions distributor, supplier and consultancy, specialising in implementing new circular business models, systems, products and services for the built environment.

Currently, a low percentage of materials used for construction are recycled or reused, the rest are wasted and sent to landfill, which is economically and environmentally unsustainable.

ALDStone integrated circular systems, allow tiles of almost any material including stone, ceramic and wood, to be removed and reused at other locations. This provides cost savings through reuse and sharing models, plus long-term protecting economic and finite environmental resources, reducing the extraction of natural resources and ultimately closing the loop

2. Babyndex

Zajzon Bodó, CEO, Hungary

“Non-intrusive and reusable way to detect your most fertile days – from a singledrop of saliva!”

In OECD countries, there are 1 million IVF treatment cycles every year. Nevertheless, most people use inaccurate, body-temperature ovulation tests because they are reusable. The FDA approved the saliva test and Sinfonic had the idea to complement it with computer vision and launched a PCT patent application in 2016. The interpretation of the saliva test is difficult. The prototype of Babyndex https://babyndex.eu was launched in 2018 using computer vision to distinguish crystals from other artefacts in saliva test and to make its interpretation easy. In addition, the accuracy can also be increased with the help of more sophisticated computer vision algorithms.

With Babyndex, we can offer a reusable saliva test, which is more accurate and monitors 6-day fertility, not only the day of ovulation.

The project received a Seal of Excellence and was selected for incubation by Innolabs in 2017. Babyndex was registered as a EU trade mark in 2018.

19. Vertoro

Michael Boot, CEO & Co-Founder, Netherlands

“Vertoro aims to speed up the green revolution”

There have been several major oil revolutions throughout history. Whale oil to US fossil oil in the 19th century; a pivot to the Arabian variety in the 20th; then back again to the US with shale oil in the 21st. While diverse in composition and origin, all share the common denominator of being unsustainable. At Vertoro, our mission is to change all of that with our crude lignin oil (CLO). Lignin, a major constituent of wood, is produced by photosynthesis at a scale of 20 billion tons per year. That’s 4 times more than the annual 5 billion tons of fossil oil we consume today! Developed by scientists at Royal DSM and Eindhoven University of Technology, and exclusively licensed to spin-off Vertoro, the lignin to CLO recipe is now being scaled up to a barrel-per-day pilot plant. Like fossil oil, CLO can be used to produce fuels, chemicals, and materials.
