The winners of C40’s second Women4Climate Tech Challenge 2020, their innovations, and where they will be implemented are:
- Lorena Gordillo Dagallier from Cambridge (UK), whose innovation called “Open-Seneca”, a mobile air quality sensor network plus educational workshops, will be implemented in Stockholm and Lisbon.
- Anai Green from Tel Aviv-Yafo, whose innovation called “Lumiweave”, an innovative fabric, which offers a shade function at the same time as permitting light, will be implemented in Tel Aviv-Yafo.
- Meiling Gao and Vivian Bi from California, whose innovation called “Clarity”, a smart, indoor-outdoor low-cost air monitoring system that provides real-time air quality data, will be implemented in Los Angeles.
These projects will share $50,000 in funding to support their experimental phases in each city.
The Women4Climate Tech Challenge 2020 is a joint initiative from the VELUX Group and C40 Cities, in collaboration with the four C40 host cities Lisbon, Stockholm, Los Angeles and Tel Aviv-Yafo. The Challenge aims to support and promote diversity and inclusion in technology, innovation, and the built environment sectors. All the projects judged in the competition were led by women; address urban sustainability, mobility, food, waste, water, building, urban farming, air quality solutions; deliver measurable impacts; and have the potential to be scalable in other cities.
