Named New Zealand hi-tech start-up company of the year in 2020, Dawn Aerospace has been making a name for itself in the space industry with their non-toxic satellite propulsion systems and innovative suborbital reusable space planes. 
 
Founded in 2017, Dawn Aerospace is based in Christchurch New Zealand, with a second significant facility in Delft, The Netherlands. They have been exporting their in-space propulsion products to customers globally since 2019. 
 
Co-Founder Stefan Powell hopes their green propellant, a combination of nitrous oxide and propylene, will become the industry standard and replace the toxic and highly regulated space fuel, hydrazine. 
 
Dawn's ultimate goal is to replace rockets, radically reducing the barriers and costs associated with spaceflight. The combination of their two key aerospace products will enable the end-to-end architecture required for launching and returning spacecraft in a scalable and environmentally conscious way.

FTN Motion's mission is to make the world's most beautiful moped-class electric motorcycles while reducing congestion, commute times and pressure on the planet. 
 
Different by design, their moped-class e-bike has a unique, classic motorbike feel paired with purposefully minimalist technology and layout, for a stress-free, uncomplicated riding experience that will be loved by commuters and adventurers alike. 
 
Designed and created in Wellington by co-founders Kendall Bristow and Luke Sinclair, the Streetdog has seen huge demand, with the bike's first release last year selling out in just days. The waiting list for the second release, planned for 2022, continues to grow exponentially. The company has raised $1.6 million since launching in late 2020, with both raises oversubscribed.

New Zealand based start-up Cropsy Technologies has responded to these needs with their world-first AI-enabled crop vision system. It allows growers to identify pests and diseases early so they can be dealt with in a targeted way – reducing the need for blanket spraying – and helping prevent crop loss. 
 
Their crop vision system combines mobile, continuous and GPS-tracked high-definition image capture, with AI-enabled software to analyse crops and aid growers in their decision making. 
 
Attached to a tractor and powered by a tractor battery, the Cropsy vision system sees and understands every single plant – profiling each leaf, fruit, shoot and trunk, in real time – while a grower runs their daily crop operations. It eliminates sun, shadows, and reflections from the captured images, preserving accurate colours and textures regardless of the time or weather. 
 
Their AI-enabled software shows how crops are performing and changing over time and gives an estimation of crop yields. The result being more insight-driven crop management, and a more sustainable approach to crop production, as resources aren't used if not needed.

The Hello Cup was a launched by Registered Nurse Mary Bond and her longtime friend Robyn McLean after they became frustrated by the lack of quality menstrual cups on the market. 
 
With more than 45 billion tampons and single-use sanitary pads ending up in landfills globally each year, reusable menstrual cups have a huge future. However, finding a high quality cup isn't always easy. That's where Hello Cups stand out from the crowd: put simply, they are 'bloody brilliant'. 
 
Designed by Mary and Robyn from scratch, Hello Cups are made in New Zealand from the highest quality medical-grade TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) available. Hypoallergenic and recyclable, they contain no nasties and are free of silicone, rubber, latex, BPAs and heavy metals. 
 
Hello Cups have rapidly gained an international reputation and loyal customer following. The unique smooth design, attention to detail and internal rim have led to Hello Cups being described as the "most comfortable" menstrual cup on the market.

The 21st century obligation for sustainability has created a mega-trend in automobile electrification. This is driving unprecedented demand for energy storage systems in the form of lithium-ion batteries. The cornerstone mineral of lithium-ion batteries is graphite comprising up to 25% by weight. Currently graphite, either mined or synthetic, is derived from fossil carbon. Extraction and production comes with significant pollution and emission costs to the environment. 
 
CarbonScape has developed a patented technology and process to produce graphite from renewable feed-stocks, with a carbon negative footprint. Our unique engineered graphite morphology provides equal or superior lithium-ion battery performance compared to fossil derived graphite. CarbonScape's engineered graphite is sustainably produced at a competitive cost with negligible environmental impact. CarbonScape technology can be applied globally wherever there are renewable feed-stocks, guaranteeing sovereignty over the supply chain.
