HONG KONG and SHENZHEN, China, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cleantech Group, a leading
global research and advisory firm focused on clean technology, officially announced
its **2026 APAC Cleantech 25** list on April 30, 2026. i2Cool has been named to 
the list in recognition of its disruptive passive radiative cooling technology and
strong commercialization progress.

[[

The **APAC Cleantech 25** recognizes high-impact clean technology companies across
the Asia-Pacific region that have the potential to significantly shape regional 
industries over the next five to ten years. The list is curated by Cleantech Group,
which has been deeply engaged in cleantech research for more than two decades. Its**
Global Cleantech 100** list is widely regarded as a benchmark in the global clean
technology sector, while the APAC Cleantech 25 focuses specifically on the Asia-
Pacific region, one of the world’s most active markets for climate technology innovation.

According to Cleantech Group, the selection process combines independent expert 
evaluation, market intelligence, and data-driven analysis. The 2026 APAC Cleantech
25 jury includes investors and strategic experts from organizations such as **ADB
Ventures, Aramco Ventures, BASF, bp Ventures, Breakthrough Energy, IFC, and NIO 
Capital**.

Founded in 2021, i2Cool originated from the **HK Tech 300** innovation and entrepreneurship
programme at City University of Hong Kong. In 2022, the company expanded into the
Greater Bay Area with operations in Shenzhen and a manufacturing base in Guangzhou.
Based on its electricity-free cooling nano-particle technology, i2Cool has developed
a diversified product portfolio covering cooling coatings, membranes, window films,
and textiles.

i2Cool’s core technology is inspired by the photothermal regulation mechanism of
the Saharan silver ant’s hair structure. After seven years of research and development,
the technology has been transformed from laboratory research into commercially scalable
passive radiative cooling solutions. Its coating technology achieves over 95% solar
reflectance and releases heat through mid-infrared radiation into cold outer space,
enabling passive cooling without electricity or refrigerants.

Being named to the **2026 APAC Cleantech 25** marks an important international recognition
of i2Cool’s technology and commercialization potential. As demand grows across Southeast
Asia for cost-effective, easy-to-deploy, zero-carbon cooling solutions, i2Cool’s
electricity-free cooling technology provides a practical response to high-temperature
markets, especially in regions such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia, 
where hot climates and high energy infrastructure maintenance costs create strong
cooling demands.

As of March 2026, i2Cool has completed more than **500 projects across nearly 30
countries and regions**. The company is also focusing on markets in Southeast Asia,
the Middle East, and other hot-climate regions under the Belt and Road Initiative,
promoting the international deployment of energy-saving and environmentally friendly
cooling technologies.

i2Cool will attend the **Cleantech Forum Asia 2026** awards ceremony in Singapore
from **May 20 to 21, 2026**, where it will join global clean technology leaders,
investors, and industry experts to discuss what cleantech solutions work in Asia-
Pacific systems and how they can be scaled.

Looking ahead, i2Cool will continue to focus on technology advancement, application
expansion, and global market development. The company will further optimize radiative
cooling structures, develop next-generation electricity-free cooling composite materials
for extreme heat and humid climates, and promote system-level applications in green
buildings, cold chain logistics, data centers, petrochemical tank areas, photovoltaic
power plants, and other industrial decarbonization scenarios.

From Hong Kong Science Park to the Greater Bay Area, and from the Greater Bay Area
to the Asia-Pacific stage, i2Cool remains committed to bringing zero-carbon cooling
technology to more hot regions around the world.
