In April 2025, Pristinz achieved a significant global milestone: our PRISTINZ Anti-Thermal Glass was awarded both a Gold Medal and an Honorable Mention at the prestigious 50th International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva — one of the world’s most respected platforms for groundbreaking innovation.
What is the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions?
Often referred to as the “Olympics of Inventions,” the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions is the world’s largest event dedicated exclusively to showcasing new innovations across industries. Held annually at Palexpo, Geneva, this event brings together the brightest minds — from research institutions, universities, private companies, startups, and national organizations — to present real-world solutions that have the potential to shape global industries.
Unlike typical startup competitions, Geneva Inventions is purely invention-focused. Every entry is rigorously assessed by a panel of international experts, evaluating not only creativity, but also scientific merit, technical maturity, market potential, and social impact. This is not about concepts, but about technologies ready to create measurable change.Over the past 50 years, receiving a Geneva medal has become a symbol of international credibility and technical excellence.
The Innovation: Anti-Thermal Glass by Pristinz
At the heart of this award was Pristinz’s Anti-Thermal Glass technology, co-invented by our co-founders from City University of Hong Kong and National University of Singapore : Prof. Goh Chin Foo and Prof. Freddy Boey
Unlike conventional heat-insulating glass or window film, our Anti-Thermal Glass is engineered to:
- Actively lower surface temperature by reflecting and dissipating solar heat more efficiently.
- Maintain high transparency, ensuring visual clarity for premium architectural designs.
- Deliver energy savings by reducing cooling loads in commercial and high-rise buildings.
This innovation is a direct response to one of the most urgent challenges in sustainable architecture: how to reduce heat gain without sacrificing aesthetics or operational comfort.
Inside the Judging Room: Presenting to Global Experts
During the exhibition, our inventor Prof. Goh Chin Foo presented the Anti-Thermal Glass technology directly to the head judges of the Geneva panel — a group of global experts.
Through detailed technical demonstrations — including physical prototypes and thermal performance data — Prof. Goh demonstrated how Pristinz’s innovation outperforms conventional solutions by combining:
- Scientific rigor
- Practical application
- Scalable market readiness
This combination ultimately secured the Gold Medal recognition — validating not only the uniqueness of the technology, but also its readiness for real-world impact in commercial architecture.
Why This Award Matters
Winning at Geneva isn’t just an achievement for our R&D team — it’s a reflection of what makes Pristinz different for every building owner, developer, and architect we serve.
Scientifically Validated: Independent experts have verified the core science behind our technology.
Market-Ready: This isn’t a lab prototype — our solutions are already transforming projects across Asia.
Sustainability with Substance: We don’t only talk green. We deliver data-backed thermal performance reduction through our solutions, to save energy and lower carbon footprint.
Looking Ahead: Scaling Innovation for the Built Environment
At Pristinz, we believe buildings are not static structures. They are dynamic systems — and every surface holds potential for climate action. Join us on our journey as we continue expanding across Asia.
And we’re only getting started.
