ONE ESSE develops modular urban infrastructure designed to reduce the environmental burden of food and energy systems while enabling low-carbon, resource-efficient local production. The concept integrates renewable energy, controlled-environment agriculture, circular resource management, and AI-based monitoring to create resilient micro-infrastructure capable of supporting sustainable urban supply systems. As climate pressure, resource scarcity, and urban population growth increase, traditional centralized food and energy infrastructures face structural limitations. Modular, distributed and data-driven systems are emerging as a necessary next step for cities seeking to reduce emissions, minimize waste, and strengthen local resilience. By combining container-based production, renewable energy integration and digital traceability, ONE ESSE demonstrates how future urban infrastructure can transition toward low-carbon, transparent and circular production models aligned with European Green Deal objectives.

About me

ONE ESSE is a Turkey-based woman-led technology and sustainability systems company developing modular infrastructure, operational transparency and digital verification solutions for resilient communities and sustainable urban environments.

The company works at the intersection of clean energy, resource efficiency, circular systems, public infrastructure and verifiable sustainability data.

Its activities focus on developing scalable solutions that improve transparency, accountability, resilience and sustainability performance across physical products, infrastructure and community services.

Key initiatives include:

• ONE ESSE VERIFIED™ — a public verification and operational transparency layer aligned with EPCIS and Digital Product Passport (DPP) frameworks, enabling evidence-based verification and public access to trusted records.

• ONE ESSE NODE — a modular and adaptive infrastructure platform designed for energy, mobility, public services and community resilience applications.

• ONE ESSE — an integrated infrastructure concept combining food, water, energy and data systems to support sustainable neighbourhoods, campuses and public spaces.

The company positions sustainability infrastructure as a flexible and scalable systems layer supporting municipalities, public institutions, campuses and climate transition initiatives.
