6 ventures. 5 countries. One shared mission: engineering the next industrial paradigm.

TTI’s latest cohort is deploying breakthrough science into markets ready for transition.

Rematter (Switzerland)
Götz Hilber, CEO & Founder, is deploying robotically prefabricated earth-timber floor slabs that cut carbon by 80% versus reinforced concrete.

Pronoe (France)
Nicolas Sdez, Co-Founder & CEO, is scaling patented electrochemical ocean alkalinity enhancement, monetised as high-quality CO2 removal certificates at coastal industrial scale.

Regenesis Materials (Singapore)
Marcos Bulacio, CEO & Founder, is converting ocean-bound plastic into AI-designed materials priced 10% below virgin nylon, with Safilo, Marchon/Nike, and Zara/H&M manufacturers as anchor partners.

Ahbstra (United Kingdom)
Hashem Arouzi, CEO & Founder, is deploying atmospheric water generation built on Nobel Prize-winning metal-organic frameworks, producing 500 litres a day at humidity as low as 10%.

Ottan (United Kingdom)
Ayşe Yılmaz, CEO & Founder, is scaling designer-grade composites from food waste, already adopted by Porsche, Ottolenghi, and Nespresso, with 65% lower CO2 and 85% less virgin material.

Ezynos (France)
David Gonzalez, Co-CEO, has applied automotive-grade durability science to everyday objects, achieving 18x the durability of incumbents and bootstrapping past 1 million euros in revenue on 30,000 euros of capital.

Each venture demonstrates evidence-based deployment across materials, carbon removal, and resource systems.

This is what systemic change looks like when catalytic capital meets frontier innovation.

OTTAN’s Eggy transforms eggshell waste into a high-performance solid material, combining durability with a smooth, refined finish. Made from 78% upcycled food waste, it offers the workability of acrylics and stone - compatible with CNC routing, hot bending, and sanding - without the environmental cost.

This is material innovation rooted in circular thinking - where waste becomes resource, and performance meets responsibility. A shift toward surfaces that do more, with less impact. Discover Eggy at Colab’s Material Library in Dubai Design District.

Controlled architecture meets untamed gestures.

An unruly moment within a considered space.

As both architects + interior designers, we’re always exploring tension between the two disciplines - the quiet push + pull that gives a room its energy.

This installation became both feature + gesture. It was conceived to celebrate the cornice detailing, draw the eye upward within the tall volume of the space, take advantage of every sightline upon entry whilst gently softening the architectural lines.

Dried stems + seed heads are gathered into a floating composition that shapes the light, casts shifting shadows, and invites the outside in.

The detail entrusted, [of course ] to Carla @by_sorelle_

Circular economy means very different things to different people.

So instead of defining circular economy myself, I asked four scale-ups from the Innovate For Tomorrow Impact Accelerator to tell me what it actually looks like in practice.

It was an absolute pleasure to hear from @cycledtechnologies, @yallareturn.uae, @revent.uae, and @mrunaresilience, each approaching circularity from a different angle, but all grounded in real-world application.

Innovate For Tomorrow is an impact accelerator by @dubaiholding, delivered in partnership with @in5dubai. The programme is designed to support founders working on circular economy solutions by helping them move beyond ideas and pilots, and into execution, scale, and integration within the wider ecosystem.

I’m genuinely looking forward to following this journey and showcasing the winners on @majdtalks. Stay tuned, we’ll be sharing the outcomes of this journey in collaboration with Dubai Holding very soon.

Curious to meet the companies? Check the full list below:

Acceleration is about creating the right conditions for ideas to scale.

Recently, I spent time with startups from the Innovate For Tomorrow Impact Accelerator by @dubaiholding , delivered in partnership with @in5dubai.

In its second edition, the programme attracted over 1,400 applications from nearly 100 countries. Out of these impressive applications, 15 scale-ups were selected to join a 12-week hybrid accelerator focused on circular economy solutions across food loss and waste, resource recovery and regeneration, and digital innovation for sustainability.

What sets this programme apart is that it goes beyond mentorship in theory. Founders receive structured training, up to 20 hours of dedicated mentorship, exposure to investors and industry, and access to Dubai Holding’s ecosystem to test and scale solutions in real-world environments. The programme also includes a total AED 850,000 prize pool, with the winning scale-up securing AED 500,000 alongside a fully funded proof-of-concept opportunity.

A core objective of the accelerator is expanding ecosystem access for founders. That’s why bringing the UAE-based cohort to @stepconference Dubai and other key events is intentional, helping create partnerships, visibility, and conversations that support growth beyond the programme.

What stayed with me most is the founders’ focus on execution. It’s a strong signal that the circular economy conversation is shifting from ideas to implementation, with Dubai at the forefront of this transition.

It was my pleasure learning about these companies building the next wave of circular solutions. Curious to know who they are? Meet the shortlisted companies here:
