AquaSymb: An Intelligent GeoAI-Driven Platform for Circular Water Reuse and Industrial Symbiosis
GEEZAR Soluciones S.L.
AquaSymb is an innovative, cloud-based platform designed to catalyze the formation, optimization, and management of water reuse consortia. Operating at the intersection of circular economy, digitalization, and advanced computing, AquaSymb enables small geographical entities—such as industrial parks, agricultural cooperatives, and peri-urban clusters—to orchestrate mutualized water networks. The core engine simulates and optimizes multi-source water cascades by evaluating inflow requirements, discharge parameters, and operating schedules in high-resolution time intervals (5 to 15 minutes). This reduces freshwater withdrawal and hazardous effluents while maximizing the integration of treatment technologies (membranes, nature-based systems) and storage infrastructures.
To transform these technical simulations into viable projects, AquaSymb embeds a holistic ecosystem encompassing Symbiosis Readiness Level (SRL) diagnostics, financial viability modeling (CAPEX/OPEX/ROI), and governance frameworks. The platform is ready for integrating a rainwater harvesting and storm-water management module, which dynamically routes meteoric inputs for direct process consumption or contaminant dilution inside accumulation tanks.
AquaSymb bridges numerical modeling and geographical reality. The AI system interprets topological, land-use, and hydrological metadata to automate pipeline routing, optimize facility localization, and predict rainwater volumes through real-time meteorological feeds. Furthermore, in its operational phase, AquaSymb uses Machine Learning for real-time anomaly detection, predictive maintenance of treatment membranes, and prescriptive flux adjustments, ensuring environmental resilience and long-term socio-economic viability.

AlgaX Evolution
Business Opportunity: AlgaX Green Totem & Microalgae CO₂ Immobilisation Technology.
Executive Overview
AlgaX Evolution is a Czech deep-tech biotechnology startup with roots in over twenty years of applied research, developing photobioreactor systems based on green microalgae for active CO₂ capture, air purification, and sustainable biomass production. The company's flagship product — the Green Totem — represents a commercially ready entry point into a rapidly growing market for distributed carbon immobilisation, while its modular industrial units open parallel pathways for large-scale decarbonisation.
The Green Totem: Entry-Market Device
The Green Totem is an interior biofiltration device that integrates a living microalgae culture within a compact, design-oriented photobioreactor. Positioned at the intersection of ESG-driven corporate interior design and functional air quality management, the Totem targets commercial real estate operators, hospitality venues, coworking spaces, and corporate office environments seeking measurable environmental credentials. Each unit continuously cycles ambient air through a microalgae suspension, where photosynthetic metabolism converts dissolved CO₂ into oxygen and algal biomass. The device generates a verified, quantifiable impact — equivalent to the carbon sequestration capacity of 60–130 mature trees per unit per year — making it a credible, auditable element of a company's sustainability reporting.
Carbon Immobilisation: Core Technology Value
The underlying technology performs a dual function: biological CO₂ fixation (photosynthetic assimilation into organic carbon compounds) and biomass-mediated immobilisation, whereby the captured carbon is locked into harvestable dry matter. Each AlgaX system produces approximately 1.5–3 tonnes of CO₂ captured annually, alongside 0.9–1.8 tonnes of dry biomass. This biomass constitutes a feedstock for multiple downstream value chains — including biofertilisers, biochar, and biopolymers — enabling a circular economic model in which carbon sequestration itself generates commercially recoverable products. The system further operates on a closed-loop principle, utilising waste heat and process nutrients, thereby minimising the net carbon footprint of operation.
Market Opportunity & Scalability
The business opportunity spans two distinct but synergistic market segments. The near-term B2B market covers premium indoor environments — corporate headquarters, hotels, wellness centres, and innovation hubs — where the Green Totem serves as a turnkey ESG asset with visible aesthetic impact and verifiable carbon metrics. Installation does not require permitting or infrastructure modification, lowering the barrier to entry significantly. The medium-to-long-term industrial market encompasses facilities with continuous point-source CO₂ emissions — data centres, food processing plants, breweries, and light manufacturing — where modular industrial photobioreactor units can be directly coupled to gaseous effluent streams, dramatically increasing per-unit capture rates.
Revenue streams extend beyond hardware sales to include biomass offtake agreements, carbon credit generation under emerging voluntary and compliance markets, and monitoring-as-a-service contracts providing clients with real-time impact dashboards aligned with CSRD and GHG Protocol reporting requirements. As regulatory pressure on corporate emissions disclosure intensifies across the EU, demand for on-site, verifiable carbon removal infrastructure is expected to grow substantially, placing AlgaX in a structurally advantageous market position.
Competitive Differentiation
AlgaX's proposition is distinguished by its scientific pedigree (founded and led by environmental biotechnologists with doctoral-level expertise), the modularity and aesthetic adaptability of its hardware, and its closed-cycle design philosophy. Unlike tree-planting offsets or indirect carbon credits, the Green Totem delivers proximate, traceable, and continuously monitored carbon immobilisation within the client's own operational footprint — a critical differentiator for companies facing third-party ESG audits. Combined with the downstream valorisation of harvested biomass, AlgaX offers a rare convergence of environmental impact, economic recovery, and regulatory compliance in a single deployable system.

Smart Water Recirculation System FIT4USE – WaterSave+
Technical University of Liberec
The LIFE4ZOO project has developed WaterSave+, a smart water recirculation system for city zoos combining a constructed wetland (nature-based pre-treatment), ultrafiltration unit, and solar-powered recirculation circuit. The system is operational at Zoo Liberec (CZ) and Zoo Barcelona (ES), enabling reuse of treated wastewater from animal enclosures for non-potable purposes and reducing dependence on drinking water by up to 50%. The FIT4USE concept – treating water only to the quality required for its intended use – is transferable to other zoos and water-intensive public facilities across Europe. Partners and pilot hosts are sought for further replication.
