European Sustainable Development Week (ESDW) is an annual event aimed at promoting awareness and action in favor of sustainable development.

At the heart of the 2030 Agenda, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been set. They cover all development issues in all countries, such as climate, biodiversity, energy, water, poverty, gender equality, economic prosperity, peace, agriculture, education, etc.

Through this lens, everyone can contribute to achieving the 17 SDGs through concrete, local, and varied projects that reflect a dynamic commitment at all levels.

As a player committed to innovation and sustainable development, Erganeo is fully invested in addressing current societal and environmental challenges. We support numerous technologies aligned with the SDGs, as was again the case this year, notably with :

• CO-MBACT-AGE - This technology uses a carbon monoxide-releasing compound (CO-RM) to rebalance the gut microbiota and thus prevent or treat diseases linked to dysbiosis, such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory disorders. More details

• Treatment of HER2-dependant cancer - This technology offers an anti-miRNA targeting miR-429 to overcome resistance to HER2 therapies and provide personalized treatment for HER2+ breast cancer and other types of cancer. More details

• EV-MIME - This technology uses extracellular vesicles enriched with NFAT3 and miRNAs to slow tumor invasion, with potential for adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment of triple-negative breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. More details

• RELB - The RelB signature defines a new subgroup of patients with LDGCB associated with poor prognosis, improving stratification and paving the way for targeted therapies. More details

• AFES - This adaptive functional electrical stimulation (AFES) technology personalizes muscle stimulation during walking to correct foot drop and improve neurological rehabilitation after stroke, trauma, MS, or spinal cord injury. More details

• Cell-free antigen production - Produces Rh antigens in vitro in their native conformation using nanodisks, offering a new diagnostic approach for detecting alloantibodies for blood transfusion and pregnancy monitoring. More details
   

• PLT Dx - These biomarkers can accurately predict the risk of preterm birth and pave the way for a rapid and reliable point-of-care test. More details

• This reactor non-selectively oxidizes bioresistant organic compounds present in industrial wastewater. It transforms them into more biodegradable forms and improves water treatment efficiency while optimizing energy consumption. This technology achieves high removal efficiencies for a wide range of industrial wastewater. More details

• The invention proposes a method for the direct growth of ZnO nanowires on civil engineering materials in order to effectively purify air and water by degrading toxic organic compounds into harmless products upon contact with these materials through photocatalysis. More details

• A smart microgrid solution optimizes renewable energy production while reducing electrical disturbances in a reliable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective manner. More details

• BattOrga - Enables the production of a new type of organic battery without binders, which, in addition to eliminating lithium and making the system flexible, improves energy storage performance by offering hybrid operation between the battery and the supercapacitor. More details

• Flexer - While conventional heat exchangers use metal as the base material for heat exchange, the new exchanger, which represents a major technological advance, is based on a flexible polymer structure. The system is easily installed in a free flow, typically in an existing wastewater pipe. The movement of the thermal probes increases the power exchanged by up to 30%. More details

• This innovation significantly improves the efficiency of AEM water electrolysis, rivaling platinum while reducing hydrogen production costs. More details

• Stabilizes excavated soil with biopolymers to produce strong and durable raw earth blocks, offering an eco-friendly and local alternative to traditional building materials. More details

• Innovative programmable device for reproducing the conditions of the automatic humidification and drying cycle in situ, suitable for civil engineering materials and soil samples. More details

• A new, simple, and inexpensive method based on a temperature-independent aging indicator allows real-time monitoring of the health of power components and significantly reduces maintenance costs. More details

• This reactor non-selectively oxidizes bioresistant organic compounds present in industrial wastewater. It transforms them into more biodegradable forms and improves water treatment efficiency while optimizing energy consumption. This technology achieves high removal efficiencies for a wide range of industrial wastewater. More details

• This dual-function smart window technology reduces the energy footprint of buildings through reversible zinc electrodeposition and electrochromic materials. More details

• Innovative process for developing rechargeable battery material based on zinc and manganese. This industrializable process is carried out in a single step and consumes little energy. In addition, the use of these widely available materials makes it possible to design safe and environmentally friendly batteries. 

• The objective of electrochemical regeneration is to restore the adsorption capacity of the adsorption material and degrade organic pollutants. The technology was initially developed using activated carbon fibers, a revolutionary material that allows for faster adsorption of organic pollutants. It is also applied to the regeneration of conventional activated carbon granules. More details
