- Empower, an innovative solution which turns the return rate of plastic waste upside down!
The Norwegian Laureate, Empower is offering an innovative solution through a plastic waste fund to ensure that plastic collection is being rewarded. This global plastic waste ecosystem is based on the the philosophy and success of the Norwegian plastic bottle deposit system: for every batch of plastic delivered, the person is rewarded digital EMP Tokens worth $1 each. By giving plastic a value they incentivize people to clean it up and deposit the waste instead of throwing it in the nature.

Empower won one month of soft-landing in Paris within BNP Paribas's incubator, We Are Innovation (WAI).
- Scatri, dedicated to improve fishing conditions around the world by reducing ghost fishing!
The French Laureate, Scatri, is a French-Swiss start-up dedicated to improve fishing conditions around the world with its innovative technology called the "Smart Buoy". Every year, up to 20% of fishing equipment (nets) is lost at sea. This phenomenon called "ghost fishing "represents an ecological catastrophe because this lost equipment continues to “fish” on its own for years. The SmarBuoys may well revolutionize the global "coastal" fishery by avoiding the loss of fishing equipment.
