2025 UAlbany Tech Roadshow
Showcasing Energy and Utilities Technology Available to Capital Region Companies and Organizations

July 16 | 9am – 11am
Center for Economic Growth | 5 Computer Drive South, Albany, NY 12205

Please join CEG and the UAlbany Office of Economic Development, Entrepreneurship, and Industry Partnerships (OEDEIP), as OEDEIP kicks off its yearlong effort to bring technology out of the labs and incubator and into the community for partnerships with Capital Region companies.

Researchers and startup founders are heading into the Capital Region to showcase their technology (detailed below) and discuss how the private and public sector can use, test, and/or license the technology. The technologies could have a wide range of use cases, including in the following industries:

• Commercial Real Estate
• Industrial/Manufacturing
• Education
• Healthcare
• Local Government
• Hospitality/Retail
• Utilities
• Chemicals
• Pharmaceuticals/Biotech
• Semiconductors/Electronics
• Industrial Wastewater Treatment
• Food and Beverage Processing
• Pulp and Paper Mills
• Environmental Remediation and Engineering
• Network Equipment Manufacturers
• Defense and Aerospace

Presenters

1. ZEOS

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to facilitate how buildings and facilities manage energy consumption

ReWire Group’s Zero Energy Operating System (ZEOS) is a comprehensive Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to facilitate how buildings and facilities manage energy consumption, comply with regulations, and integrate with the electrical grid. Operating in a rapidly expanding market, ZEOS positions itself as a “virtual energy manager” for property owners and facility managers who lack dedicated energy expertise.

2. TR-CO?

Scalable TR-CO? Heat Pump Systems for Electrified Multifamily Building Retrofits

This project aims to advance and validate a modular, transcritical CO? (TR-CO?) Tri-Service heat pump that delivers space heating, cooling, and domestic hot water using a single high-efficiency system with ultra-low global warming potential. The solution aligns with NYSERDA’s clean energy goals by offering a scalable, all-electric alternative to fossil-fuel HVAC systems, particularly suited for multifamily buildings and other urban retrofit applications.

3. Adsorption-Regeneration Water Treatment Reactor (ARTWR)

A reactor design that performs stripping of target compounds while simultaneously regenerating the adsorbent

Recent water treatment needs focus on low-level chemical contaminants and removing them often requires the use of an adsorbent that must be either discarded or regenerated. A reactor design has been developed that performs stripping of target compounds while simultaneously regenerating the adsorbent. The process uses four different disciplines including: Adsorption (sorption)-stripping target compounds from the water; Compound destruction-regeneration of the adsorbent and prevent it from becoming a pollutant again.

4. CHRONOS

Cloud based Hybrid RF-Optical Network Over Synchronous links

The primary goal of CHRONOS is to design, build and maintain a multi-node, heterogeneous, wideband, scalable and synchronous C-RAN that will enable emerging applications like Virtual Reality (VR), Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT), 3D broadcast video, telesurgery, etc. The research team works is searching for networking solution companies and companies interested in green and safe wireless technologies to develop LiFi systems, a promising technology for indoor wireless connectivity and localization. Compared to RF, light is unlicensed, safer and more secure against unauthorized access and jamming.
