This year, hi Tech & Industry Scandinavia is launching the hi Sustainable Development Award, which is based on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We look forward to celebrating the exhibitors' contributions to a better world through this award. Below you can learn more about the five nominees. The winner will be announced on 1 October and awarded with DKK 50,000.
Chr. Hansen
Chr. Hansen has developed FreshQ bacteria, a natural solution that improves food quality and thus extends the shelf life of yogurt and other dairy products.
Bio-Circle Surface Technology
Bio-Circle has developed an effective, resource-saving and environmentally friendly alternative to organic solvents. Bio-Circle's cleaning fluid replaces the dangerous solvents with nature's own raw materials.
InnospeXion
InnospeXion has developed a new, efficient waste technology based on an online X-ray inspection system. By rethinking the use of X-rays, InnospeXion makes it possible to sort large quantities of waste accurately and efficiently.
Visblue
VisBlue has developed a battery technology that allows excess energy to be stored from renewable energy sources and released again when we need it.
R&D Engineering
R&D Engineering & Automation is at the forefront of a new concept and a new factory that will produce organic grass protein. The R&D Engineering concept replaces soy protein with locally grown organic grass protein. Which, according to R&D, leads to a reduction in nitrogen leaching and pesticide consumption, as well as less CO2 emissions.
The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The award takes its inspiration from the UN’s 17 SDGs, which together pave the way for a more sustainable future for people, animals, the environment and the climate. The hi expo wants to shine a light on these global targets by celebrating and promoting the exhibitors who make a special effort to incorporate sustainable development into their company.
It is no longer possible to submit products or solutions for the hi Sustainable Development Award.
