- This was preceded by a signing, in the presence of His Serene Highness, of an agreement with the Investment Association of China ("IAC") to support the Nobel Sustainability Trust's new award for sustainability; and to support Innovator Capital's Sustainable Finance & Investment Corporation ("SFIC") initiative, with a US$1 billion contribution to sustainable technology innovation, in equal tranches over 3 to 5 years. CleanEquity showcased 26 companies and His Serene Highness conferred with the judges, who selected three winners of the CleanEquity Awards for Excellence: eggXYt (IL), for Research; addressing one of the egg industry's most pressing challenges, the culling and destruction of 7 billion male chicks each year; eggXYt's technology meets the needs of today's ethical consumer and dramatically improves the sustainability of egg production. BL!XT (SE), for Development; it is the first and only to develop miniature, solid state circuit breakers, which, as part of electrical systems, are able to control and manage devices. BL!XT breakers show huge energy saving potential. SUN Mobility (IN), for Commercialisation; creating smart batteries and enabling them to be swapped in minutes at interchange stations, focusing on 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers and buses, this 'pay-as-you-go' model, will enable the price of EVs to match their ICE equivalents. The runners up, respectively, were Breathe Applied Sciences (IN), Taronis Technologies (US) and Edenworks (US). The awards were sculptures created by emerging French artist, Samuel de Gunzburg, who lives and works in London. His Serene Highness thanked China for "this wonderful commitment" and thanked Mr. Zhu Huiye, saying, "An incredible result and wonderful way forward and so I thank you very, very much for these announcements and the signing of this document here this evening."
