Re-imagining how technology can empower the world
We invite you to imagine a world where corporations don’t have to choose between profit and purpose, where cities are designed with the citizen at the heart, where agriculture is more sustainable and transparent, where rural communities have access to opportunities, and indigenous peoples are included in the conversations that drive innovation.
Welcome to that world.

AQUAPONICS
We have teamed up with Emerge and Georgia Tech's Phi Gamma Delta and launched the first Aquaponics Project of its kind. Student teams get training in science and innovation while building aquaponics systems with Opalus Grow Lights. They work with Georgia Tech grads from Phi Gamma Delta fraternity to create their own enterprise, delivering systems and fresh vegetables to local chefs. This program works alongside community partners to give young students real-world experience in sustainable food production, engineering, and entrepreneurship.
