French Embassy – Neoplants: Neo P1, indoor air purifying plant
The French Embassy is presenting an inspiring innovation that brings quest for sustainability, human health, engineering, biology and innovation all together, under the form of… a plant ! More and more people enjoy having plants in their home as we live in super-artificialized and polluted urban environments. But what if plants could play a significant role in purifying our indoor air? Neoplants, a French startup, created such a plant, leveraging the power of Nature to generate sustainable solution to a worldwide health matter. “Neo P1”, as it is called, is equivalent to up to 30 regular houseplants in terms of air purification. It also doesn’t store pollutants as normal houseplants would do, but recycles them into useful metabolites.
Embassy of Finland – Angry Birds
Angry Birds is a mobile game developed by a Finnish company Rovio, first released for iPhone in 2009. The mobile game quickly became a massive phenomenon worldwide after its release. The idea behind Angry Birds is simple – the player’s task is to use slingshot to fling angry birds into the pigs’ structures and oppress them. Although most people play Angry Birds for entertainment, the laws of physics are very much present. The angle of the slingshot and its extension determine the flight path of the birds; the basic bird flies horizontally at a steady speed, while vertically the speed accelerates. The game combines motion physics with problem solving.

It combines physical experience with interactive virtual visualization.
Come and experience it for yourself at our stand! Discover the possibilities of augmented reality and be inspired to learn through interaction and exploration.
Embassy of Hungary
The Embassy of Hungary will introduce three unique cleaning products called Cycle which are crafted from recycled and plant-based ingredients. The products are free of harsh chemicals and truly effective. The acetic acid and nutrients that are used in these products are brewed from biosolids.
Kitchen Cleaner
It is a vinegar-based cleaner for kitchen surfaces. It is food safe, i.e. various foodstuffs can be consumed in contact with the surface cleaned with the cleaner, as it does not contain any harmful substances. This product contains not only 100% nature derived ingredients but also a high degree of recycled materials to be as sustainable as possible.
All-purpose Cleaner
The universal household cleaner removes dust, limescale deposits, dirt and fingerprints for surfaces that are resistant to acid-based formulas. It contains alcohol which lends the cleaner its fast-drying property, leaving the treated surface clean.
Universal Floor Cleaner
The product dries streak-free and eliminates unpleasant odours. It is a safe alternative to harsh caustic and acidic cleaners: a pet- and child-friendly formula that contains no harmful chemicals. This product contains not only 100% nature derived ingredients but also a high degree of recycled materials to be as sustainable as possible.
