About
Altru Impact Report is produced by the Altru Institute to follow the companies, technologies and organizations advancing sustainable solutions worldwide. We provide regular and consistent editorial coverage of these firms.
Davos Technology Platform
We are in affiliation with the Davos Consortium which is building technology platform of global solutions in sustainability and where you can find information on the firms about which we write in the Impact Reports.
Energy, Water, Waste
Our focus is on infrastructure components common to citizens in every country and culture. We are leading with water, energy and waste. For each we will be seeking to find the most scalable solutions worldwide. a separate a newsletter.
Defining Scalability
Our focus is on those companies and technologies that we regard as most scalable. Those which are rapidly growing and have a technology that is readily transferable and appropriate for expanding to other geographic markets through cross border technology transfer arrangements.
The ecosystem of support
We also profile organizations that are playing a key role to support the growth of these companies. By create awareness for those doing important work such as to accelerate their success.
Removing the friction that slows innovation
Accessing resources such as capital while building a company puts extraordinary strain on entrepreneurs which is at the core of the high failure rate. We remove friction by increase the flow of information among and between those with the resources to be engaged. Giving worthy projects visibility to those who can help.
High impact and high return
Our vision is an efficient means by which strategic and financial investors seeking both impact and high financial return can find the projects that best fit them. We tap a global network of experts to and provide basic due diligence needed to make decide to spend more time.
Regular updates on important companies and technologies.

E-Waste Emerges as a Major Circular Economy Challenge for Governments and Industry
Electronic waste has become one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world, driven by rising demand for consumer electronics, shorter device lifespans, and rapid digitalization across industries. Smartphones, laptops, appliances, and connected devices are replaced at unprecedented rates, generating mounting pressure on waste systems that were never designed to
Fixing One of Healthcare’s Biggest Blind Spots With Smart Medication Technology
Modern healthcare excels at diagnosing disease and prescribing treatment, yet what happens after a prescription is written often remains invisible. Whether patients take the right medication, at the right dose, and at the right time is largely assumed rather than verified. This gap between prescription and real-world use contributes to
AEIR to Debut Long-Range Wireless Energy Transfer System in Zurich on December 15
Lucerne, Switzerland — AEIR announced today that it will conduct the first public demonstration of its long-range Wireless Energy Transfer (WET) system in Zurich on December 15, 2025. The debut marks a major milestone for the Swiss-based company, which has spent several years developing a technology capable of transmitting power safely
WattByWatt Uses Next-Generation Solar Materials to Power the World One Watt at a Time
As connected devices multiply and demand for clean electricity grows, the limitations of conventional solar technology are becoming more apparent. Traditional silicon panels are efficient at scale, but they are often rigid, energy-intensive to manufacture, and poorly suited for low-power or indoor applications. WattByWatt, a Canadian clean energy company, is
OceanWell Taps Deep Ocean to Redefine Sustainable Desalination
Water scarcity is rapidly becoming one of the most pressing global challenges, driven by climate change, population growth, and declining freshwater reserves. While desalination has long been seen as part of the solution, conventional systems remain energy-intensive, land-heavy, and environmentally controversial. OceanWell is advancing a new approach that rethinks how
