Winners of iPitch@ACES2023 Showcase Cutting-Edge Innovations in Clean Energy

On October 25, 2023, at the esteemed Asia Clean Energy Summit (ACES) hosted at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre in Singapore, twelve start-ups stepped into the spotlight. The panel, featuring Andrew Wong, Director of TRIREC; Marga Mazo, Investment Director of Mirova SunFunder; Peter Story, PFAN Global Coordinator; and Stanley Ng, Program Director of New Energy Nexus, had the challenging task of selecting the standout performers.

Taking home the coveted titles are:

• Coral Life – Best Disruptive Start-up: Coral Life impressed with its approach of utilizing a central cooling unit that slashes BTU output by an impressive 80%. Their innovative network of strategically placed conduits efficiently cools entire buildings.
• Blue Energy – Best Innovative Start-up: Blue Energy captured the spotlight with a user-friendly solution—a mobile platform featuring six Blue Tidal Turbines. Mounted on a barge, these turbines, ranging from 7kW to 100kW, provide remote islands with a sustainable alternative to diesel power by harnessing tidal energy.
• E-port – Best Scalable Start-up: E-port, a Singapore-based tech trailblazer, clinched the Best Scalable Start-up award with its flagship eLSA ‘ship-in-port’ Digitization, Data, and e-Commerce platform. Tackling the maritime supply chain wastage issue in the $20 trillion global seaborne trade, E-port’s solution promises scalable and impactful change.

The 2023 iPitch winners not only demonstrated exceptional innovation but also showcased the potential to revolutionize the clean energy landscape.
