ZikaSeal™ originated from interdisciplinary research and innovation at the University of Copenhagen, where public health researchers, engineers, and designers worked together to prevent disease transmission through intelligent design.
The foundations of ZikaSeal™ stem from an award-winning humanitarian innovation: a hygienic, child-friendly toilet developed to eliminate flies as vectors of disease transmission using physical barriers rather than chemicals. This project received a Danish Design Award for its impact, usability, and engineering excellence.
Building on the same core principles — durability, simplicity, and prevention through mechanical design — the team translated this approach to a new and growing challenge: the spread of the invasive Asian tiger mosquito in urban environments.
Through collaboration with Kapacitet and extensive field testing with entomological experts at EID Méditerranée in Montpellier, ZikaSeal™ evolved into a scalable, pesticide-free solution designed to protect cities, communities, and ecosystems.
At ZikaSeal™, we envision a world where cities are free from the threat of mosquito-borne diseases. By leveraging innovative science and sustainable engineering, we aim to create healthier urban environments that protect communities and ecosystems alike. Our vision is a future where the elimination of mosquito-borne diseases is not just a possibility, but a reality.
Our mission is to provide innovative, pesticide-free, and sustainable solutions to combat mosquito breeding in urban areas. By developing cutting-edge, science-backed technologies, we safeguard public health while preserving the environment. Through collaboration with research institutions, municipalities, and industry leaders, we strive to implement effective mosquito control measures that contribute to a healthier and more sustainable future for all.
