| Project | Activity | Unit | Project leader |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beyond Scroll | A new gas compression machine based on co-rotating scroll technology that not only operates at high speed and pressures, but also does so without oil. | STI / LAMD | Marianna Fighera, Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo |
| Carbon Team | Novel low-cost and scalable solution for Direct-Air-Capture – pulling CO2 directly from the atmosphere and locking it away in geological formations underground. | SB / LAS | Khalil Karl |
| Cell Therapy | High throughput intracellular delivery for gene and cell therapy applications. | STI / LBMM | Miguel Solsona |
| Corto Bioelectronics | Corto Bioelectronics have developed a multimaterial fiber processing technique that brings new functionalities to neural probes, such as drug delivery, optical stimulation and recording, and novel materials combinations for better biocompatibility. | STI / FIMAP | William Esposito |
| Edelsys | Make the emerging autonomous technologies more precise, efficient, robust and sustainable – via high-robust optimisation and decision-making solutions. | STI / LA3 | Petr Listov |
| Intuitive Physics | An online platform where educators can easily design interactive simulations for university physics courses (based on gaming technology) | SB / LASTRO | Austin Peel |
| Maven Health | AI driven metabolic health predictions for preventive health, based on salivary metabolite profiles. | SB / LIFMET | Christopher Wall |
| naialabs | Centralised immunoassay service for immune diagnostics from fingerpicks. Start with public health surveillance before moving to larger markets. | SV / PTBET | Grégoire Michielin, Evan Olson, Hon Ming Yip |
| SeaStem | Leveraging on solar energy to reduce the ecological and financial footprint of seaweed processing, ultimately making this green feedstock more available. | ENAC / LESO-PB | Mathias Bauman, Yann Sprunger |
| Thot | Thot helps reasearchers the organize, analyze, and share their data. The software automates these processes allowing researchers to spend more time doing research and less time dealing with logistics. It is like GitHub for researchers. |
SB / LPI | Brian Carlsen |
| Typeless | For teams on the go, staying in contact with their colleagues can be difficult. It’s often easier to quickly send voice messages then to write messages. Typeless have developed an AI-based voice messaging platform to help employees on the road stay connected – increasing engagement and productivity. The platform not only allows for voice messages but also transcribes them and pulls out key words to ease comprehension. |
