Sunvention,
is a Research & Development laboratory that has developed a range of technologies and expertise in overlapping fields of greenhouse solar capture; stirling engines; and optics for photovoltaics & daylighting etc. We are particularly excited by the potential of the SunPulse Water, a solar pump that is 3x as efficient as Photovoltaic pumps.
Natural Innovation helped Sunvention to document their technologies and focus their business and raised an emergency loan for them. This helped them raise substantial finance from a Swiss foundation. In addition, we mediated a relationship between Sunvention and Urban Ecological Systems, another of our incubatees. The first commercial installation of their Envelope Power Greenhouse will be installed at UES's new Sydney facility.

Natural Innovation works with innovators who have great ideas that have a potential to scale to have a significant impact on poverty or the environment. The innovations we work with are focused on developing countries, and many of the innovators are based there.
We incubate these innovators to help them bring the idea to realisation. We link innovators with resources - including grants; volunteers (especially technical); finance and strategic partners.
Some of the innovators and innovations we are working on appear on this site, (some others are still in stealth)
In addition we work on projects that can change the landscape for support and funding for such innovators. For example addressing licensing issues, or developing component technologies that multiple innovators need.

Urban Ecological Systems (Australia) have developed scalable, commercially viable integrated aquaculture/horticulture systems, which need scaling and adapting down to rural village scale.
Mitra helped UES to develop its business plan and raise finance including introducing them to their major investor. We also introduced them to Sunvention who are supplying an energy system for UES's 4,000 m2 farm under construction in Sydney.

Our mission is all about getting people involved, we have quite a small core team, but work with individuals and organisations who share our goal of seeing technology used to alleviate poverty, reduce emissions, and improve the environment.
Our strength is the strength of our partners, and we are looking for people to collaborate with in a number of different areas including: grants; investments (high risk, PRI, and market rate debt); volunteers (business & technical); and strategic partners especially those deploying technology in developing countries.

Sorry that page doesn't exist - or doesn't exist any more.
This isn't entirely surprising since with the change to a non-profit, the site www.naturalinnovation.org has gone through a major redesign including moving to Joomla.
Hopefully you can find what you are looking for through the menus , or search on this site.

Natural Innovation supports the development of clean technologies that have the potential for a significant impact on the environment and poverty, and have a viable business model, but cannot be financed by traditional means by virtue of being based in, or marketed to, developing countries, or the technology is in the public domain.
THIS WEBSITE IS STILL VERY MUCH UNDER DEVELOPMENT = PLEASE EXCUSE ANYTHING ODD |
