Anemo Robotics
Anemo Robotics makes innovations for assessing marine biodiversity using autonomous underwater cameras and advanced AI technology. Their solutions provide high-resolution data to evaluate the impact of offshore structures on marine ecosystems. By delivering actionable insights, Anemo empowers decision-makers to achieve their biodiversity restoration goals and comply with regulatory requirements.
B-test
B-test has developed a calibration tool used for soil testing in the construction industry. B-test’s laser technology ensures that all soil is calibrated correctly, which provides precise assessments of the ground, ensuring that construction is built on a solid foundation.
Care-DNA
CARE-DNA transforms the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer with a simple blood screening test that leverages our innovative cancer marker — circular DNA. Unlike current methods, our technology offers early detection with high sensitivity, scalability, and clinical viability. It holds the potential for screening other cancers with high mortality, including lung, liver, and bladder cancer.
Essential Robotics
Essential Robotics has developed an autonomous robot that relieves hospital staff by handling transportation of empty hospital beds. This technology reduces staff workloads, optimizes daily operations, and improves patient care.
Existential AI
eXistential AI is a semiconductor company that makes it easier for medical device manufacturers to put algorithms on their devices. eXistential AI's brain inspired technology allows them to build a chip PHOENIX that is optimised for both performance and flexibility.
Hykin Energy
HyKin Energy has developed the HyKin Pump, a revolutionary mechanical device that harnesses kinetic energy from naturally flowing water sources like rivers and streams to generate green electricity and provide potable water; all off-grid. This cost-effective technology ensures access to renewable energy and potable water in regions lacking conventional infrastructure.
Innotrach
Epidural catheters can lead to complex complications. Innotrach has developed a product that simplifies and speeds up the placement of epidural catheters using a combination of mechanical and electronic feedback, resulting in a more efficient and secure process.
Kaldi AI
Kaldi AI has developed a solution that improves quality control and consistency for suppliers of raw materials like coffee beans. Using an advanced camera, Kaldi AI provides a 360° overview of every bean, classifying them flawlessly through AI technology.
Luftvejen
Luftvejen has developed a new type of charging station for drones, enabling them to fly 24/7. This autonomous charging solution opens possibilities for applications such as border surveillance, critical infrastructure, and more.
O-Robotics
O-robotics has developed a robot that can maintain tiled and paved areas by handling weeds, debris, and waste. This autonomous maintenance robot operates at night, enhancing safety and reducing costs by up to 65%.
Peak Emulsions
Peak Emulsions enable the production of custom emulsions without the detrimental effects of high-pressure homogenisation and with a volume capacity that drastically outperforms the competition.
Sensemakers
Sensemakers has developed a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly solution for the maritime industry. Their SenseBOAT solution acts as a flexible “sensor taxi platform,” making real-time environmental data collection accessible across the sea.
SPKTRA
SPKTRA develops an advanced vision system with software and specially equipped cameras for production lines. For example, it can detect product defects and determine different materials in sorting systems.
Tergy Sagava
Tergy Sagava uses a carbon-negative process to generate marine biofuels from biogenic feedstock, co-producing biochar and hydrogen-rich syngas. Sagava’s biofuel seamlessly integrates with marine infrastructure. The biochar is a carbon removal tool, as well as a soil improver. Sagava’s process provides a feedstock-flexible decarbonisation solution for hard-to-abate sectors.
Yngvik
Yngvik has developed a new type of bioplastic stretch film and paper-like material for packaging, based on biodegradable waste from the food industry.
