Apex Concrete Innovations, Inc
Founded by Sarah Noet · Seattle, WA · Climate and Energy · 🚀 Early Growth / Commercialization
We’re reimagining the way the world builds by combining ergonomic innovation with environmental restoration. Our patented Turbo Trowel reduces strain and injury for construction workers while delivering top-tier performance, and our zeolite-based concrete solutions cut carbon emissions, clean water and soil, and make infrastructure greener. From job sites in the U.S. to humanitarian projects in Ethiopia and Kenya, we’re proving that construction can be healthier for people, better for the planet, and profitable for partners.
I’m the CEO of Apex Concrete Innovations, Inc., where we’re transforming the construction industry with healthier, more ergonomic tools that protect the long-term well-being of the people who build our world. Our patented Turbo Trowel, launching this summer, is engineered to deliver top-tier performance while reducing strain on workers. Through my independent contract with Zeolite Composites, we have access to a unique mineral technology—powering the world’s first low-carbon, water-permeable paver system and pioneering low- to no-carbon concrete alternatives. Zeolite naturally cleans water and soil from harmful toxins, enabling construction teams to build sustainably while restoring the environment. In addition to leading Apex Concrete Innovations, I hold partnerships with Apex Carbon Systems to advance sustainable infrastructure solutions and Bricksell, a global real estate platform reshaping property transactions. I also serve on the team at Greener Concrete in a business development role and am leading the formation of the Board at Propel.Earth as its founding Chair. Beyond business, I’m actively engaged in humanitarian projects worldwide—bringing innovative solutions to environmental and community challenges. I’m also developing a Global Club to bring the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals into schools, empowering youth with the knowledge and leadership skills to create a more sustainable future. I’ve completed my role as a Fellow of the Global Environmental Network for Innovation and Intelligence (GEN_II) through the SDGs & Leadership Excellence Fellowship Program and look forward to my next opportunities with our Earth-loving community and the talented group at GEN_II.
I create social impact by improving worker health and safety through ergonomic construction tools and wellness initiatives, reducing the carbon footprint of building with zeolite-based materials, and advancing projects that restore soil and water. My work supports sustainable infrastructure locally and globally, including humanitarian efforts Globally, including launching a Global Club to teach the UN Sustainable Development Goals to youth.
