At GROPYUS, we build sustainable, affordable multi-family homes by turning construction into an industrialized, technology-driven process. From planning through production, assembly, and building operations, our approach is designed to increase reliability, improve living comfort, and keep project costs under control. We position our offer as a turnkey solution delivered from a single source as a general contractor - supported by automated manufacturing and a digital foundation for end-to-end execution. Our operating philosophy centers on 'design meets system' and 'smart living.' We develop and deploy a digital control layer for buildings (the GROPYUS Building Operating System) and run a smart factory that combines automated fabrication with integrated data control. Across our teams in construction, technology, industry, finance, strategy, and sustainability, we work to scale modular residential construction and continuously improve how homes are planned, built, and operated - so the results stay future-proof for generations.

Groov exists to unlock human potential - for individuals building everyday resilience, and for workplaces striving to create healthier, high-performing teams and the cultures that sustain them. The old ways of supporting people are broken. Surveys surface issues too late, EAPs are underused, and one-off training rarely sticks. Groov brings science, services, and technology together in one system that helps leaders act early, providing real-time organisational intelligence on networks, patterns of work, engagement, and psychosocial risk. Beyond the workplace, Groov makes preventative mental health support accessible to everyone through the Groov app and Ask Groov. Their partnerships with organisations like Health NZ and AIA Vitality extend this reach to thousands across New Zealand and beyond. Co-founded in 2018 by Sir John Kirwan and serial entrepreneur Adam Clark, Groov is building the human operating system for individuals, teams, and organisations - one that helps people feel better, perform better, and unlock their full potential.

At Greiner, we believe that sustainable business is built on putting people first. Our family-run organization has been thinking in generations since 1868, when Carl Albert Greiner founded the company as a cork manufacturer in Nürtingen, Germany. Today, as a global leader in plastics and foam solutions with 10,318 employees across 31 countries and 107 locations, we maintain the same entrepreneurial courage and commitment to values that have driven our success for over 155 years. Our culture is rooted in openness, appreciation, reliability, and the pursuit of excellence - values that guide how we work together, not just what we produce. Our three operating divisions - Greiner Packaging, NEVEON, and Greiner Bio-One - demonstrate how innovation and responsibility can coexist. From pioneering sustainable packaging solutions like our K3® cardboard-plastic combination to providing critical medical and laboratory products, we push boundaries while staying true to our commitment to a circular economy. Through our Blue Plan sustainability strategy, we've set ambitious goals for climate protection, circularity, and empowering our people. We foster innovation through Greiner Innoventures, our start-up hub that supports sustainable business ideas. At Greiner, you'll find a collaborative environment where diverse perspectives are celebrated, where long-term thinking replaces short-term gains, and where every team member contributes to shaping a more sustainable future.

In late 2022, Gravis Robotics emerged from a decade of research at ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab, founded by a team of roboticists who recognized a critical gap in one of the world's largest yet most stagnant industries: construction. While global demand for infrastructure and building projects was skyrocketing, the sector faced declining productivity, an aging workforce, and severe labor shortages. The founders saw that traditional construction methods were failing to keep pace, and they realized the solution lay in transforming existing heavy machinery into intelligent, autonomous systems rather than replacing the entire fleet. Gravis developed a groundbreaking retrofit autonomy platform that turns ordinary excavators, loaders, and other earthmoving machines into robots through their proprietary Gravis RACK - a rooftop sensor suite combining LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, and learning-based control systems that "feel the soil" through hydraulic data. Paired with Gravis Slate, an intuitive tablet interface, the technology enables seamless switching between autonomous operation and augmented remote control, boosting productivity by up to 30% while dramatically improving site safety. Within just three years, Gravis has deployed its technology across seven countries, partnering with industry giants like Holcim, Taylor Woodrow, and Develon, and securing $23 million in funding to accelerate its global mission of bringing autonomy to the trillion-dollar earthmoving industry.
