Day one of the conference saw sustainability and greentech, AI, and fintech startups take the stage for their chance to secure investment. So, who are these startups, and what do they do?

Windcredible

Windcredible is tackling the need for decentralised energy generation in urban environments using wind energy. The startup wants to democratise wind energy with a specialised unique designed wind turbine, designed for the urban environment.

The startup began with the idea to downscale wind energy for the consumer market. As solar panels are widely deployed in a home setting, why not scaled down wind turbines? It has designed three different sized wind turbines, each for different uses. The Nano for low energy needs, the Urban for mid-sized needs, such as households and retail, and Farm for windfarm and industry needs.

AI
