Mix optimization is key to any concrete producer’s success. Whether it be to optimize for performance, cost, a reduced carbon footprint or a unique combination of these factors. But this process has become more difficult with the increasing complexity of supply chains, changes in material types and costs, along with the increasing requests for concrete with a lower carbon footprint, without compromising performance. Very simply, engineers and concrete producers are mired in data and it is often more difficult to quickly and accurately optimize mix designs. Concrete.ai was founded to process the myriad of data points in real-time with AI-driven software, delivering speed and ease for the user. At the same time, Concrete.ai knows that experience and human judgement is central to every project. As a result, users choose what to optimize - from performance, cost, and/or carbon reductions — and what constraints to apply based on their unique situation and business objectives. This results in a Mix Optimization tool that is simple, fast and offers flexible decision-making.

Cement and concrete producers are seeking solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of their products. In collaboration with these producers, Minus Materials recognized that the fastest path to a low-carbon material was to develop a solution that did not require novel materials, new processes, and expensive technologies. So, they set out to develop a simple, easy to adopt material to speed adoption and market momentum. The solution – a carbon-negative limestone grown from algae!

So proud to work with Obatala Sciences. Did you know that current preclinical drug testing relies on animal-derived data and products and that more than 90% of new compounds fail when tested on humans? Did you know that current preclinical and clinical drug testing does not include representation of diverse populations. Obatala Sciences is developed human-derived solutions, from across diverse populations to change that. The result: creating a world where future therapies are accessible, equitable, and effective for all patients, and 90% fail rates in clinical trials are a thing of the past.

I love working on the Education, events and Membership Services Committee. Our team develops, facilitates and recommends programs that will enhance and expand the value of CalCIMA.

Did you know that the most hazardous elements in traditional refrigeration and cooling technology are refrigerants -- hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)? Phononic solid state cooling solutions eliminate the usage of HFC refrigerants, which have as much as 2000xhigher global warming potential (GWP) gases than CO2. Phononic proof points in refrigeration, cold chain fulfillment and HVAC/Climate Control have demonstrated the opportunity to avoid over 150 million tonnes (one tonne equals 1000 kg.) of CO2e per year due to HFC and energy reduction. Said another way: Phononic solutions can deliver 15x more CO2e than Tesla (Tesla avoided 8.4 tonnes of CO2e in 2021)

Our current healthcare system is riddled with inefficient, bureaucratic processes. Portico Wellness, a health tech company, dedicated to making living well accessible to all, has developed a multisided platform designed to remove barriers that are holding back better health and wellness outcomes across the ecosystem – from individuals, providers, employers, and primary care physicians. Available through employers and primary care physicians, the platform replaces the time-consuming process of trying to find a provider and replaces it with a portal that easily connects individuals to providers – from therapists, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists to wellness services such as yoga, stress management, and nutrition counseling. The detailed profiles, transparent pricing, and fast, secure booking empowers the individual to choose the solution that best meets their needs. At the same time, the platform frees providers from the time-consuming business management functions and enables providers to easily list their services, gain increased exposure through primary care physician and employer access, and receive essential business services, such as online scheduling and timely billing processing. By implementing these resources, Portico Wellness frees up providers to spend more time delivering treatment. Together, these changes create a more simplified, effective mental health and wellness ecosystem.
