Mimotype is a developer and vendor of bio-inspired performance materials. Our core skills: Initiating and steering end-to-end innovation cycles in the domain of bio-inspired materials research. The bioeconomy is about realigning production methods and supply chains with the vision of an ecologically seamless world economy. A deepened understanding of biology at the nanoscale will allow first-movers to become the technology leaders of the 21st century. We have a prime candidate for a materials blockbuster in our material pipeline. Our focus is on a peptide – i.e. a mini-protein – that acts as the luminescent agent for the light-emission of marine life, a phenomenon known as "bioluminescence". We extract the genetic blueprint of said target molecule and then have genetically programmed bacteria produce the substance for us. The material obtained in this way is to be used for OLED displays and adjacent applications. In this industrial sector, there is a lack of high-performance emitter materials for the blue colour spectrum. If our stratagem works out, we will become the market leader in supplying a critical component for the display industry. Moreover, in the long term, our approach can bring about a profound reshaping of the OLED technology mix. This will result in our materials IP becoming increasingly embedded in the value network of the target market. Thanks to enormous advances in gene sequencing, exponentially increasing computing power and new gene-editing tools, humans have become core developers in the source code of life. As an investment thesis, Mimotype is a bet on an unconventional German biotech that reverse-engineers high-performance materials from nature's open source code.

Fascinated by sound, noise, and its impact on society, co-founders Rhona Togher & Eimear O'Carroll have worked together for over 15 years. Inventive by nature, they founded Lios (formerly Restored Hearing) in 2009 to build technologies which would enable a quieter world. Togher and O'Carroll have long been frustrated with the pace of advancements in their field, witnessing incremental developments which fell short in delivering meaningful change. Originally trained as physicists, the pair have applied their knowledge of physics to a range of challenges, creating elegant and practical solutions to some of the world's greatest challenges. One of those solutions is SoundBounce. SoundBounce is a smart material solution to enable regulatory compliance and competitive advantage for our partners. With an adaptable design, simplicity of integration into new and existing products is achieved. SoundBounce delivers superior noise attenuation without the bulk of traditional acoustic materials. This is essential to product designers when consumers are demanding smaller, quieter products. SoundBounce provides a cost-effective way of absorbing harmful or unwanted noise, which saves space while protecting people and structures. Using energy absorbing technology never before seen in the acoustics sector, SoundBounce has unrivalled performance at low frequency noise reduction.

Molecular Quantum Solutions (MQS) was founded in December 2019 by Mark Nicholas Jones (CEO) and Lukasz Ruszczynski (CTO) who know each other from their EU funded PhD projects (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/675251) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). During the final project conference they had the idea to start MQS to use the acquired knowledge from their PhDs, combine it and implement a full fledged software as a service solution for the pharma, biotech and chemical industries. Grown tired of using inflexible software in the chemical engineering domain which feel outdated in comparison to many tools in signal processing and artificial intelligence applications, Mark and Lukasz want to deliver modern and future computational tools to accelerate research & development efforts by the pharma, biotech and chemical industry. Their tools include the use of high-performance computing and quantum-computers with quantum chemistry models and machine learning to calculate the properties of materials and chemicals in a fast and efficient way.

As the market leader in power modules, Infineon challenges YOU to develop a thermal interface material solution for highly reliable and best in class power modules. Power Modules are found in general purpose drives, traction, servo-units and renewable energy applications like solar inverters, energy storage systems or wind applications and more. They cover a wide range of a few hundred Watts to several Megawatts. However, with the ongoing demand and system requirement to increase the power density in power electronics, the thermal interface between power module and heatsink becomes an even more important role. A thermal interface material must not only provide the lowest thermal resistance, but also fulfil the highest quality standards given for power modules to achieve the longest lifetime and highest system reliability. The challenge is open to startups and researchers with an innovative technology, material or process, that could be used to address the described challenge.
