We are delighted to share that Reef of Hope, one of our supported startups under the Idea SparkAction Fund 2023/24, has been awarded the prestigious James Dyson Award 2025 (Hong Kong Winner) for their pioneering work in oyster reef restoration.
The Artificial Reef is designed using a topological approach to restore oyster habitats, enhance water flow, and support larvae growth—made from marine-safe materials that release no microplastics.
The James Dyson Award recognises young inventors working to address real-world challenges. Reef of Hope is honored to be considered among those making contributions to ecological restoration, and strives to approach this work with innovation, scientific rigor, and a commitment to sustainability.
This recognition is a testament to the impact of supporting visionary startups through initiatives like the Idea SparkAction Fund. We are proud to have played a part in Reef of Hope’s journey and congratulate the team on this outstanding achievement.
We remain committed to empowering innovative startups to create positive change for our environment and communities.
