Dear Kambrians,
Social Impact Innovation Alliance (SIIA) is a joined force of visionary projects and organizations dedicated to harnessing the power of innovation for positive social change. For more information about the Alliance please visit this page.
To new members: Kambria is an open innovation platform for Deep Tech (AI, Robotics, Blockchain, VR/AR, IoT…), with the mission to shape the future of technology where technology is open and contributes more to society. One of our main initiatives is Kambria DAOs, which is a way for the community to co-own technology. If you are interested in co-owning a technology, you can join the DAO of that solution to decide the development and commercialization of it, and get revenue sharing when the solution is commercialized. While with the Open Innovation Hubs, we aim to foster a global network to accelerate open innovation all around the world. We have many established partners coming from different sectors: Developer Communities, Innovation Sponsors, Government & Incubation Partners, R&D Labs & Universities, And Expert Network... |

As a global movement, TLL is a strong ecosystem builder and catalyst, transcending boundaries of location, age, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. TLL's mission is to unite visionary, compassionate tech leaders and their supporters to tackle Earth's most pressing challenges and build a better future for all.
Core values - Purpose, Meritocracy, Fairness, Empathy, and Action - drive TLL to make the impossible possible and amplify impact globally. In March, TLL hosted its inaugural summit, "The Intersection of Climate, AI, and Humanity," featuring 32 expert speakers and culminating in a Consensus Document sent to policymakers worldwide. This October, TLL will continue its mission with "The Global Story" research project and a second summit, aiming to forge a collective narrative that inspires global action and a brighter future for the next generations.
About Sustein Material
Sustein Material manufactures carbon-neutral (to-be) materials for construction and design using healthcare waste. They connect healthcare waste management with the construction and design industries, developing innovative materials that meet environmental and health standards. These products aim to reduce operational costs and environmental impact for manufacturers, hospitals, and waste managers.
Sustein Material addresses two critical issues: healthcare waste management and construction's environmental impact. Construction in Europe exploits 50% of annual natural resources, with construction materials contributing 11% of global CO2 emissions. Meanwhile, a large portion of healthcare waste (99%) is disposed of in landfills or incinerators, with 55% globally unmanaged. By integrating healthcare waste into construction materials and promoting a circular economy, Sustein helps decrease CO2 emissions and resource use. Their approach offers a sustainable, scalable solution with measurable environmental benefits for industries involved in waste management and construction.
