EQUIPSENT
***On the mission to Enable Education, Everywhere***In a world where a significant number of schools and laboratories have no access to suitable equipment for teaching and research activities, EquipSent steps in to make a difference.EquipSent collects functioning equipment that is no longer required from well-funded research institutions, corporate partners and schools mainly in chemical, biological and physical sciences, and distributes it among suitable destinations, according to the receiver’s needs. In this way, not only instrumentation gets a second life, reducing waste production, but students in places with fewer resources have access to hands-on education. ...
Estudio Saman
We are Colombia's first real-estate developer focused on sustainable construction.

Sustainable Business Club
Our aim is to raise awareness of sustainability in business and offer students a platform to get involved in sustainable business practices. We encourage members to shape their academic and professional careers in a sustainable way. The idea for the Sustainable Business Club was born at the University of Zurich. We noticed a lack of emphasis on sustainability in business lectures and academic curriculum. Existing student clubs and initiatives were not specifically focused on sustainability in a business context. We perceived this as a gap in the academic and student landscape that needed to be urgently filled. What we do: • Events and activities to promote insights into sustainable business practices• Interdisciplinary exchange by involving students from different faculties• Co-operation with companies committed to sustainability• Promote career opportunities in the field of sustainable business...
Versarys Bioscience
We develop co-culture devices that let microbial and mammalian populations interact via secreted metabolites while remaining separable to track each population individually, enabling controlled, scalable, high-throughput studies. Our MVP is already in use by 40+ labs worldwide. We’re expanding our product range to serve microbiology, immunology, and host–pathogen research across diverse use cases. The project originated during a PhD, where early prototypes were developed to overcome limitations in studying complex microbial interactions. The team was formed through the Business Concept course at StartUp Campus, combining scientific and entrepreneurial expertise....
