Companies focused on advancing and adapting clean air, safe water, sustainable food systems, and environmental health technologies.
FITCI Companies working in Sustainability & Environment:
Blue Sources has launched Monitoring-as-a-Service (MaaS) to create a 24×7 no-touch alert system. BG-n:,The Patented Technology Behind MaaS, comprises different physical configurations of online devices that continuously monitor for the presence of toxic chemicals in water streams. The technology specifically monitors Bluegills. The publicly available EPA Ecotox database lists thousands of studies detailing Bluegill response to various toxic chemicals. In experiments using a broad spectrum of contaminants (including arsenic, cyanide, several nerve agents, ammonia, mercuric chloride and seizure agents such as strychnine), the Army verified a highly reliable response by this technology with negligible false positives.”
EclimAi turns ordinary buildings into intelligent, energy‑efficient environments. Their edge‑based AI monitors occupancy via existing cameras, then dynamically adjusts HVAC and lighting systems — delivering up to ~45% energy savings, while keeping data on‑site for maximum privacy and compliance. With technology designed for real‑time action, EclimAi gives property owners a smarter, greener building — without ripping out existing infrastructure.
Forager Station is pioneering sustainable lithium extraction by deploying electrochemical direct‑extraction technology to bring critical lithium resources into production across salt‑water brines, geothermal streams, and oil/gas wastewater. Based in Frederick, MD with global ambitions, Forager’s innovation helps power the energy transition by unlocking scalable U.S. supply of battery‑grade lithium while minimizing environmental impact.
Mycologics, working on Sustainable and Affordable Biofungicides from Natural Products. Efficacy Broad-spectrum protection against soil-borne pathogens leading to enhanced seed germination and faster seedling growth. Affordability & Convenience – Low manufacturing costs making them comparable to chemical fungicides. Easy storage and shipping and seamless integration into current pest management protocols. Sustainability Focus – Aligns with stringent safety and environmental standards, which can lead to quicker market entry.
Phycin has developed proprietary technology to produce recombinant growth factors in green algae. Compared to other production platforms, the algae derived growth factors are of higher biopotency, less costly to produce, and completely free of human pathogenic viruses and bacterial endotoxin. These traits make Phycin growth factors uniquely positioned to meet the demands of the aesthetics, stem cell, and regenerative medicine industries. Phycin is currently transitioning from technology development to product commercialization.
Werlpower is a groundbreaking renewable energy technology company revolutionizing sustainable zero carbon emission power generation. The company’s proprietary technology generates electricity through an innovative hydro-kinetic process using modified wind turbine infrastructure, achieving multi-megawatt power outputs with a remarkably competitive levelized cost of electricity at just 3.2 cents per kilowatt-hour. Unlike traditional renewable energy sources dependent on intermittent conditions, Werlpower’s technology generates consistent, zero-carbon electricity by utilizing steady water flows from run-of-river sources and wastewater treatment facilities. This consistent 24/7 availability positions the company as a transformative player in the global transition toward sustainable and economically viable clean energy solutions.
