A paper water bottle, a musical robot, a biodegradable fishing sinker, a palm size ultrasound device which acts like a visual stethoscope, a movable power point, a secure online file management and storage mechanism and a fingerprint lock are just some of the original innovations to make the 25 finalists of INNOVIC’s International Next Big Thing Award™ 2009.
Entries this year reflect the key challenges of our time in the medical, environmental and ICT fields. All finalists are highly original and smart innovations developed by people who are creating the new technologies and businesses of the future.
Environmental finalists:
360 Paper Water Bottle - will disrupt the global bottled water category/industry by redefining the emotional, visual, functional, tactile, material, manufacturing, operational and environmental touch points of the containment.
Vecor Building Materials - Fly ash is an unavoidable by-product of burning coal to produce electricity. This environmental pollutant, can be “locked up” to produce strong, lightweight tiles, bricks, pavers, aerated blocks and building aggregate.
envirotate - a biodegradable fishing sinker that is designed to spin on retrieval thus removing the twist in fishing line caused from casting and retrieving.
Aquatain AMF - a silicone-based liquid which spreads across the water, forming a monolayer film. The product was originally developed for evaporation control, but a variation has been found to have exceptional benefit in stopping the mosquito lifecycle.
SI-TORO™ technology - the next generation technology for radiation detection and measurement systems.
SolaMate - Solar Air Heating, Cooling & Ventilation System - a solar air heating, cooling and ventilation system for domestic and commercial buildings.
The Eco-switch - a simple and inexpensive energy saving device that effectively allows you to move the location of your power point (socket) switch to a new more convenient location.
Creative Water Technology - a highly advanced solution to solve waste water problems that other technologies, such as Reverse Osmosis are unable to address. It makes complete water independence possible even for top-200 water users.
CarbonNavigator - a web-based offering allowing organisations to tick the boxes for compliance and audits and help them assess and manage carbon reduction opportunities. It combines sustainability and finance and helps move carbon management into the mainstream of business management.
Biosol - in the sewage catchment, it addresses issues such as sewage odour, infrastructure corrosion, greenhouse gas emissions, fat, oil and greases blockages and hydraulic efficiency.
Controlled Plasma light - a long life, low cost, high efficiency general purpose light source to replace incandescent and compact fluorescent lights.
Smart Energy and Load Management System – the ability to monitor and manage your own power consumption from intelligent touch screens, desktops and smart phones.
