Floe is a smart, cleantech solution that discharges this standing water by creating channels in the ice dam with a non-corrosive, biodegradable, and pet and plant safe deicing fluid. Floe provides customers with asset protection and peace of mind at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact of current solutions.

WHAT IS THE MIT INNOVATION INITIATIVE?
The MIT Innovation Initiative is a small team of unceasingly inquisitive, data-obsessed MIT-ers tasked by The Office of the Provost to develop and strengthen the innovation & entrepreneurial community at MIT…and beyond. We’ve built an innovation infrastructure at MIT to inspire, support, and connect the most innovative people, programs, places, and partnerships at MIT—stewarding the innovation process from idea to impact.
