Altru is conducting research to identify experts and breakthrough innovations in the topic areas below and will be hosting round table discussions with thought leaders in Davos Platz January 20-24.

 

Complete the survey/application to learn more and receive additional information. Discussion topics:

​

• SINGLE USE PLASTICS.  160 million tons produced every year worldwide. Only a small percentage is recycled. Most ends up in landfills and a significant portion ends up in the Ocean. Can we find new substances that biodegrade?
  ​

• LANDFILLS AND METHANE. Landfills are primary source of methane gas which is 80x as problematic as CO2. What is the future of recycling? Can waste be turned into clean energy? Can landfills and dumps be turned into clean fuel factories?   
   

• AI, DATA CENTERS,  ELECTRICITY, WATER. The vast electricity demands for AI is putting unprecedented pressure on the grid and on the water supply which is used to cool these facilities. What technologies can meet this need without harm to environment?  
   

• CLEAN ENERGY. What will it take to bring along promising technologies such as Hydrogen, Nuclear and Geothermal that are both safe and economically feasible? How can we find efficiency and reduce energy consumption?  
   

• MENTAL HEALTH.  Depression and anxiety run rampant particularly through young people. This stress has led to an epidemic of substance abuse and suicide. What innovations approaches can address this challenge? 

​

This research is intended to guidance to policy makers worldwide on the most promising and scalable technologies capable of greatest potential for impact.
