KOPO addresses pressing health and social needs of the developing world through context-appropriate products. We are a group of engineers, designers, and businesspeople
with work experience in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia who saw vast needs
globally for low-cost products in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector. We’ve
each worked in for-profit businesses that used profit incentives to accelerate positive social
change, and we work towards this goal as we build a profitable B2B enterprise.We have designed a clear bottle for solar water disinfection, a product we hope to manufacture in China. We are also developing an
advanced material for UV sensing – a chemical-based, color-changing UV measurement
film.
 

AirWorks was founded out of MIT by a team of entrepreneurs and engineers. At AirWorks, we specialize in aerial mapping and 3D modelling at survey-grade accuracy to help surveyors make operations faster, safer and more cost-effective. We focus on operations in New England and strive to constantly improve data quality and customer service. With our background in aerospace, we focus on developing and integrating technology to create viable drone solutions for surveying, civil engineering, utility inspections, communications and renewable energy.

RightDose device seeks to facilitate liquid medication administration by reducing overdose
and increasing compliance. Medication overdose is an extremely prevalent problem in
the pediatric population. Over 7,000 children are admitted to the ER every year due to Acetaminophen overdose in the US, with each admission costing the healthcare system
$6,000 on average. RightDose cap fits seamlessly onto existing liquid medication bottles
and can measure precise amount of pre-defined dosage volumes. So RightDose provides
enhanced security to the patient along with more savings to caregivers and healthcare systems.
 

LightByte, a massive interactive sun pixel façade, modifies the sun’s rays at your whim into intricate shapes. It turns sunlight into an expressive medium to carry information, communi-cating ideas and making the physical space engaging and playful. Applications are numer-ous, imagine where business owners in major skyscrapers can greet their customers at the lobby with customized sunshine; airports and public spaces can engage citizens and trav-ellers; advertisers and designers using this technology can shape our digital future, creativi-ty, and human-to-human connections in the urban jungle; and in the smart home, resi-dences and hotels can harness the internet of connected sunlight.

We are capitalizing on a current consumer trend: coffee. More and more millennials are drinking coffee outside of the home and often buying specialty drinks from places like Star-bucks and Dunkin' Donuts. Although these hot drinks taste great initially, they lose some of their initial appeal as they cool down. Often customers throw out the last bit of their cups or drink the beverage cold to get their money's worth. We have designed and developed a portable and rechargeable cup warmer that seamlessly integrates with disposable coffee cups.

Labby is a suite of smartphone based devices that enable rapid, low- cost, lab quality test-ing of food, beverage and agro products at a fraction of the cost using optical spectroscopy and cloud based analytics. Labby aims to empower breweries, wineries, homebrewers and farmers to perform high quality testing at home, field or a facility in a convenient manner. With this technology we envision better predictability and repeatability in the food/bever-age product as a result of frequent and standardized testing.
