Wildchain is a mobile game that merges fun with real-world conservation efforts and climate action. Players act as a virtual conservationist, collecting and caring for digital representations of endangered animals. By playing mini-games and making in-game purchases, players contribute to real-world initiatives that protect these animals' habitats and support conservation efforts. Wildchain allows gamers to build their own wildlife sanctuary and learn about endangered species, all while contributing to preserving biodiversity and habitat restoration. Wildchain utilizes blockchain to create unique digital collectibles representing the adopted animals.

CivicAI explores how AI can enhance collective intelligence in relation to climate crisis mitigation and adaptation. CivicAI sees opportunities in several key areas, which have been illustrated in more detail through 3 distinct use cases. To address the climate crisis, CIVICAI works to increase the capacity for communities to organise and adapt to a new reality. This requires better tools and methods for mobilising large groups of people to take action, reducing associated costs, and advancing the value of collaboration.

LoamBio is an agricultural tech company whose technology harnesses the power of microbes, specifically endophytic fungi, to create seed coatings which improve soil health and sequester carbon, which support greater crop yields, and potential income for farmers through carbon markets.. These coatings, applied during planting, boost the natural ability of plants to store carbon in the soil and promote their growth and resilience against environmental stressors like drought, disease, and high temperatures. Loam positions itself as a farmer-centric company offering programs like SecondCrop, which helps farmers earn additional income through carbon credits for the carbon sequestered in their soil, and CarbonBuilder, to enable farmers to integrate soil health analytics seamlessly with existing practices.

KMX’s technology facilitates a separation and recovery of pure water, lithium and other rare earth minerals a from industrial brine and waste-streams at low temperature and pressure. By using its proprietary membrane distillation technology for mineral recovery and water separation, KMX's technology targets water scarcity and contamination and offers a new method of promoting clean water and wastewater treatment. In addition, separation of Lithium, which is a critical element for batteries used in electric vehicles and other clean energy technologies, as well as other rare earth minerals, through brine and waste is a far more sustainable approach than traditional lithium extraction methods which are energy-intensive and have negative community and environmental impacts.

Kiiren is a no-code software-as-a-service (SaaS) application designed with regenerative intention to incorporate AI technology in right relationship with its human operators. The platform automatically tunes itself based on “knowledge bases” loaded into it, allowing non-technical people to adapt, curate, and collaborate around knowledge sets based on their unique operating context and place. Their primary focus is on enhancing community and organizational efficiency by providing seamless access to resources and information. Its mission is to adapt LLM generative AI technologies into globally accessible “augmented regenerative intelligence” (ARI) in a way that is humane and living systems first, ethical, safe, useful, and serves as an impact multiplier and coherence builder in the regenerative movement. Kiiren’s “knowledge ecosystem” is currently supporting leaders and community building across intersections of regenerative economics, finance, spirituality, indigenous wisdom, and social transformation.
