The company represents the Buildings & Construction category from Mexico on the list that identifies 100 international innovators in energy and climate technology, a project by Start Up Energy Transition (SET) in collaboration with dena, the German Energy Agency.
On February 11, 2026, Earth Tech Materials (ETM) was selected as part of The SET100 List 2026, a recognition that identifies 100 leading international companies in energy and climate technology, evaluated by a panel of experts across five categories. ETM represents the Buildings & Construction category, marking its third international recognition so far in 2026, following Solar Impulse Foundation's Efficient Solution label in January and its selection for Formwork Labs Accelerator's 2026 cohort in February.
The distinction arrives as ETM consolidates its positioning with investors: each external recognition serves as independent validation that the company's technology — Cimbras and EcoClinker — meets international standards for climate impact, not just local ones.
"Having an external jury evaluating climate innovation on a global scale place us in the same conversation as 99 other companies is a signal we can't generate ourselves — it has to come from outside"
José Medrano - Head of Environmental Impact
"Having an external jury evaluating climate innovation on a global scale place us in the same conversation as 99 other companies is a signal we can't generate ourselves — it has to come from outside," said José Medrano, Head of Environmental Impact at Earth Tech Materials. "Every validation like this reduces the perceived risk for anyone evaluating whether to join the round."
About Earth Tech Materials
Earth Tech Materials was founded in Monterrey in 2020 to convert industrial waste into the next generation of construction materials. Today, ETM leads the shift from mining and construction waste to high-performance building systems: Cimbras, reusable formwork, and EcoClinker, a low-carbon clinker substitute. The Earth Tech Materials team works toward one mission: proving that today's waste is tomorrow's construction standard.
