BeeBryte BeeBryte has developed an AI-based energy optimization software that predictively drives existing heating, cooling and refrigeration systems to generate up to 40 % savings, as well as improve comfort and air quality in commercial & industrial buildings. Today, HVAC equipment operates under the control of automation systems or a BMS which have a fixed operation and can only react to the external & internal environment according to programmed logic. BeeBryte offers an additional layer of intelligence that makes these HVAC system predictive and adaptive, unlike traditional reactive regulation.

Breeze Technologies
Overall team size 15 staff
Breeze deploys its own low-cost air quality sensors that detect all common air pollutants. Thanks to an artificial intelligence- based cloud calibration technology, data gathered by these sensors is comparable to public monitoring networks in quality and accuracy. Based on the gathered data and external data sources a hyperlocal map of air quality is generated.
Customers / Partners
Air quality challenges are matched with a catalogue of more than 3.500 clean air actions and their potential impact in a local implementation is calculated. An artificial intelligence then recommends the most efficient interventions for local challenges, potentially raising the effectiveness of clean air action plans by 10 X.

Trident Trackway Trident Trackway manufactures temporary heavy-duty portable flooring products from locally sourced recycled plastic, enabling the construction of temporary roadways, staging areas, and storage pads; and for the movement of large vehicles and machinery over surfaces that require ground stabilization or protection. Traditionally, the construction industry has either used plywood, or laid gravel roads, in order to access sensitive surfaces. Both products are difficult to recycle; pose logistical problems; require hardware, tools and machinery to install; and often come from unsustainable sources. Trident Trackway can be removed from such sites after construction is complete with no trace of the roadway being left behind. Founded in December 2019 United Arab Emirates www.trident-trackway.com
