MEMBER COMPANIES:
Here are just a few of Greentown’s 25+ member startup companies.
ALTAEROS ENERGIES is developing a blimp-like inflatable wind turbine that floats 600 meters in the air (where the wind is stronger and more consistent) to generate power in isolated areas.
NBD NANO is taking design cues from the Namib Desert Beetle (which has evolved to harvest water in dry climates), for everything from de-fogging windshields to desalinating water.
SOL POWER has built a solar-powered cell-phone charger that is free for users and monetized exclusively by an ad banner.
GROVE is revolutionizing urban agriculture with computer-controlled “aquaponic” indoor growing systems that use fish tanks to provide plants with a self-sustaining ecosystem.
