Please join us for the third Amazon Sustainability Accelerator Demo Day at the Barbican Auditorium.
We will open with commentary from Amazon's UK Country Manager John Boumphrey, and hear pitches from 8 incredible start-ups pioneering sustainable innovation in consumer-facing products. This will be followed by networking amongst venture and angel investors, sustainability thought leaders and founders.
The Demo Day and the start-up's pitches are the culmination of a bespoke 10-week equity-free programme, supported by EIT Climate-KIC and Growth Studio, in which founders have navigated the challenges of starting and scaling a sustainable business and benefited from expert-led workshops, specialised mentorship, a tailored curriculum and much more.
The Start-ups:
PAINT ZERO - revolutionary fossil fuel free and convenient paint. PAINT ZERO is innovative concentrated decor paint, that mixed with tap water delivers a colour-rich full strength interior paint in 90 seconds.
MYOM (Make Your Own Milk) - clean, ambient oat milk premix sold in small recyclable pouches with no water added at the factory and without any compromise to taste, price, or nutrition.
ASAN - world’s easiest menstrual cup to insert and remove, aiming at solving two problems: period poverty and tampon waste.
Ops Clean - alternative to traditional laundry detergents using hypoallergenic and pollutants-free magnesium pellets.
Zig+Star – innovative, stylish and cost-effective children footwear design that increases the fit of shoes, lasting approx. 6 months longer.
ReBorn – range of homeware products from locally sourced recycled materials and circular by design.
Morrow - sustainable, cost-competitive alternative to coffee made from locally grown crops and upcycled ingredients, replicating the flavour and aroma compounds of conventional coffee.
Zen Running Club - a sustainable performance running shoe, with significantly higher bio-content than our competition, and performance credentials that rival traditional running shoes.
