Two Enterprise Ireland-backed companies have won funding approvals of up to €18.75m in the latest competition under Horizon Europe's European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator Programme. The two successful companies are CroíValve and Lios. Enterprise Ireland leads the National Support Network for Horizon Europe which helps entrepreneurs to compete and win funding in EIC competitions. To date, 28 Irish companies have secured approvals totalling €175.5m under the EIC Accelerator Programme since the beginning of Horizon Europe in 2021. Trinity College Dublin spin-out company CroíValve is a clinical-stage medical device company focused on developing a minimally invasive device for the treatment of a severe cardiac disease called tricuspid regurgitation. CroíValve's DUO Tricuspid Coaptation Valve system will enable a non-surgical solution for the condition as currently less than one percent of elderly patients receive surgical treatment due to the risks involved in this population. CroíValve previously received funding under the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund which is administered by Enterprise Ireland and supports research collaboration to drive disruptive technology development. Lios, a pioneer in acoustic advanced materials technology, is a Dublin company with strong Sligo roots. SoundBounce is an advanced acoustic material developed by Lios that works better than traditional sound dampening materials. Transport, home appliances, power generation, and construction are among the major industries seeking to reduce noise levels. Part of the EU's Horizon Europe 2021-2027 Research and Innovation Programme, the EIC Accelerator Programme provides transformational funding to high-potential, high-risk start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs. Approvals include grant funding of up to €2.5 million combined with an equity investment ranging from €0.5 to €10 million in a blended finance offer. 959 applications were submitted to this latest competition with 150 companies subsequently selected for interview resulting in a total of 40 funding awards to 16 countries. The 40 companies were allocated funding of up to €229m in a combination of grants and equity investments. Almost one third of the selected companies were led by a woman in a key leadership role such as CEO, CTO or CSO. Minister of State for Trade Promotion, AI and Digital Transformation Niamh Smyth TD said: "Today's announcement is testament to the research and innovation capability of Irish companies and the vibrancy of the start-up and commercialisation eco-system. Collaboration between Higher Education, state agencies, investors, and business creates a pathway to success, and the government, through Enterprise Ireland, is committed to helping enterprises like Lios and CroíValve to realise their commercial potential. This announcement provides significant funding to support these companies to bring their innovations to the global market, and I wish both every success for the future." Jenny Melia, CEO Designate, Enterprise Ireland, said: "I'd like to congratulate Lios and CroíValve on their successful applications to the highly competitive EIC Accelerator programme. Both companies, working with the EIC, will be able to enhance their entrepreneurial capability and get the critical support required at this juncture in their development and scaling journey. It is particularly welcome to see that both projects have a female-inclusive leadership team which supports Enterprise Ireland's strategic ambition to increase the participation of women in entrepreneurship and business leadership." Lucy O'Keeffe, Co-Founder & CEO, CroíValve said: "Securing European Innovation Council (EIC) funding is very impactful in supporting full alignment of our novel technology with this complex patient population, along with expansion of clinical validation of our DUO System. There is a real unmet clinical need to provide a scalable treatment option for the heterogeneous patient population with tricuspi...

Guest post by Elisabeth Kant (she/her) Head of Data Science at SumUp Following the AI summit in Paris earlier this year, Taoiseach Micheál Martin stated "we need to embrace the opportunities that AI offers - for our start-ups and businesses, our public services, and ultimately for our citizens, and their quality of life.…If we don't, we risk losing out and forfeiting the enormous gains AI promises." In an increasingly digital world, small and medium-sized enterprises face a pivotal moment: adapt to technological change or risk being left behind. While innovation was once the domain of large corporations, advancements in digital tools like automation and artificial intelligence are future-proofing SMEs, should they choose to adopt them. That includes the sectors we don't typically associate with cutting-edge innovation: your local salon, the family-run grocer or an independently run café. AI is no longer a futuristic concept reserved for the few, it's part of a broader wave of digital tools that businesses must embrace to stay competitive. We've already seen examples of how adopting new technologies such as AI can make or break businesses. When looking at the booming e-commerce sector, for example, the rise of personalised shopping experiences thanks to artificial intelligence has had a great impact on how retailers are bringing their goods to customers. It is no secret that the popularity of online shopping has led to many businesses leaning on algorithms to present their customers a personalised shop window. Those that have failed to adapt the opportunities AI has created in the space not only lose out on making their offerings more attractive to consumers, but risk losing their business by relying on outdated technology. AI is the new frontier of digital transformation, and organisations that oppose it risk falling behind. Ireland's SMEs in the digital age This digital transformation of SMEs in a plethora of other industries is currently being driven by tools that provide services like automation, AI, and cloud-based systems across Ireland. Once thought to be reserved for larger scale organisations, these technologies are now inexpensive, accessible, and for many, essential to the running of their business day to day. SMEs are the backbone of the Irish economy, representing a third of the country's GVA according to the CSO, and the advantages of embracing digital technologies mentioned above are endless, with some being able to be integrated almost immediately. You don't have to be a tech company to benefit from technology - automation can deliver real value by taking repetitive tasks off the plate of any business. We're increasingly seeing examples like lead qualification for small sales teams or appointment scheduling for local restaurants - freeing up time for business owners to focus on higher-level strategic work. AI, although sometimes seen as removing the human element from processes and procedures, can in fact customise client interactions, improve the sales process, and enable teams to provide a more bespoke experience. Hairdressers for example can use AI scheduling tools to personalise reminders and rebooking prompts. These benefits are especially important for SMEs, which operate with limited resources and where customer care is paramount. The rise of AI According to a recent report conducted by Trinity College Dublin and Microsoft Ireland, AI use in Irish enterprises increased significantly from 49% in 2024 to 91% in 2025. Among the SMEs surveyed, just under 40% of respondents are actively utilising AI, with 10% having adopted an AI strategy. However, there's a noticeable gap when looking at the AI usage in large multinational enterprises. Perhaps in order to gain a competitive edge in an ever-changing and evolving industry, following the example set by larger corporations could be beneficial, improving upon operational efficiency and customer service for example. That being said, there are barriers SMEs face ...

From lab curiosity to commercial reality. Here's what happens when moss meets the brutal economics of bioprocessing.In Part 1, you've heard the science behind moss-based protein production. Now comes the real test: Can it survive the gauntlet of regulatory scrutiny, cost pressures, and manufacturing scale-up that crushes most biotech innovations?In Part 2 of this groundbreaking conversation, David Brühlmann and Andreas Schaaf, Managing Director and CSO of Eleva, dive into the nuts and bolts of what it actually takes to commercialize a revolutionary production platform. Andreas doesn't just theorize—he's lived through 15+ years of transforming Eleva from startup concept to clinical-stage reality, navigating every regulatory hurdle and economic challenge along the way.Three game-changing advantages that caught our attention:Process Robustness That Actually Works: While CHO cells throw tantrums over minor parameter shifts, moss maintains consistent product quality even when your bioprocess isn't behaving perfectly; a lifeline for manufacturing teams dealing with real-world variability.Economics That Make CFOs Smile: Forget expensive viral filtration steps and costly human pathogen testing. Moss's plant heritage eliminates these animal-system burdens, directly impacting your bottom line in ways that matter.Operational Simplicity: Variability in process ingredients and streamlined cell banking contribute to long-term cost and operational efficiencies that compound over time.Andreas shares hard-won insights about what it really takes to challenge entrenched bioprocessing orthodoxy, including the regulatory conversations, the economic realities, and his advice for scientists brave enough to pursue game-changing innovations.Ready to understand how disruptive biotechnology actually makes it from bench to bedside?Connect with Andreas Schaaf:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/andreas-schaaf-b3797716Website: www.elevabiologics.comNext step:Book a free consultation to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/callDevelop bioprocessing technologies better, faster, at a fraction of the cost with our 1:1 Strategy Call: The quickest and easiest way to excel biotech technology development.

What if the future of "impossible" protein therapeutics is hiding in your backyard?For decades, CHO cells have ruled the biotech kingdom as the undisputed champions of complex protein production. But here's the uncomfortable truth: countless breakthrough therapies are gathering dust on laboratory shelves—not because the science failed, but because traditional hosts can't produce them.Enter moss. Yes, moss. That humble green organism clinging to rocks and trees might just be the biotech industry's best-kept secret.In this eye-opening episode, David Brühlmann sits down with Andreas Schaaf, Managing Director and CSO of Eleva, who's spent over 20 years turning the "impossible" into reality. Andreas didn't just stumble upon moss; he co-developed Eleva's revolutionary moss-based platform from wild concept to commercial-scale game-changer, propelling the company into clinical trials.Here are three reasons why this episode is worth listening to:Moss as a Game Changer: More than a plant, moss is a higher eukaryote with mammalian-like protein production, including post-translational modifications and human-compatible glycosylation.Overcoming Bioprocessing Barriers: CHO cells are the industry gold standard, especially for monoclonal antibodies. But what about the therapeutic proteins that CHO can't handle? Many promising candidates end up shelved—not because the science isn't sound, but because existing production platforms hit their limits.Bioprocessing, Simplified: Moss grows in standard bioreactors using familiar workflows—just with a whole organism instead of suspended cells.Curious about how plant-based systems could solve your protein production challenges? Dive into this episode to discover how moss could revolutionize your approach to challenging proteins; and let us know about your own production hurdles.Connect with Andreas Schaaf:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/andreas-schaaf-b3797716Website: www.elevabiologics.comNext step:Book a free consultation to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/callDevelop bioprocessing technologies better, faster, at a fraction of the cost with our 1:1 Strategy Call: The quickest and easiest way to excel biotech technology development.

NTNU professor Marit Otterlei nearly threw out the contaminated cell culture where she and her colleagues were testing a new cancer drug.The problem arose on a hot summer day, in Trondheim, in a country not known for hot summer days. So they'd opened the lab's windows overnight.When they came back the next day, they found an uninvited guest, snuggled in with their cancer cell culture: Bacteria!!!Here's the thing, though: although the drug had been designed to work on human cancer cells, it looked like it had killed the bacteria, too!That was remarkable, because the cancer drug targeted a specific mechanism that human cells use to replicate. It looked like the drug also targeted the same mechanism in bacteria -- even though the tree of life had branched away from bacteria 3 BILLION years ago! How could that be?Today's podcast takes a peek into the challenging world of what it takes to bring a drug, especially an antibiotic, to market. But it's also an inside look into how some researchers, with their deep curiosity about the nuts and bolts of how life actually works, can come up with startling discoveries that may someday save our lives. Sometimes, the key to saving lives can be hidden in a protein that hasn't changed much over billions of years.Our guests on today's show are Marit Otterlei, a professor at NTNU's Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine; Siril Skaret Bakke, innovation manager at NTNU's Technology Transfer Office AS, and Christine Årdal , senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.Marit is a part-time CSO at APIM Therapeutics (https://www.apimtherapeutics.com/), which is developing the cancer drug that she was testing back in 2011, when an open window on a hot summer day led her to suspect that her substance might a possible antibiotic, too. That antibiotic, Betatide, is now undergoing testing that pharmaceutical companies require before investing in it.Here's a list of some of the key academic publications:Gilljam, Karin Margaretha; Feyzi, Emadoldin; Aas, Per Arne; Sousa, Mirta; Müller, Rebekka; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg.

In this On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Sarah-Jane Madden brings a unique lens to application security, shaped by her journey from developer to security leader and CSO. Speaking at OWASP AppSec Global, she tackles one of today's most pressing concerns: how AI is reshaping software engineering—and how we must respond without compromising core values like quality and security.Madden emphasizes that AI is only the latest in a series of major disruptions, comparing it to shifts like remote work triggered by COVID. Her message is clear: organizations must prepare for continuous change, not just chase the current trend. That means prioritizing adaptability and ensuring critical practices like application security are not sacrificed in the rush to speed up delivery.She makes the case for a layered, iterative approach to development—rejecting the outdated linear mindset. Developers, she argues, should leverage AI as an accelerator, not a replacement. Think of AI as your digital intern: handling the drudgery, automating boilerplate code, and even applying internal security standards to code before it reaches human hands. This frees developers to focus on creative problem-solving and thoughtful architecture.However, Madden cautions against blind enthusiasm. While experimentation is healthy, organizations must be discerning about outcomes. Speed is meaningless without quality, and quality includes security. She calls on developers to advocate for high standards and reminds business leaders not to fall for the allure of shortcut statistics or flashy claims that promise results without skilled labor. Her analogy of microwave dinners vs. proper cuisine illustrates the risk of prioritizing convenience over substance—especially in complex problem-solving environments.For line-of-business leaders, Madden urges realistic expectations. AI can enhance productivity, but it doesn't eliminate the need for thoughtful development. Ultimately, customers will notice if quality drops, and reputational damage is hard to undo.In closing, Madden celebrates OWASP as more than an organization—it's a source of support, camaraderie, and genuine community for those working to build secure, reliable systems. Her message? Embrace change, use tools wisely, protect your standards, and never forget the human side of engineering.GUEST: Sarah-Jane Madden | Global Director of Cyber Defense at Fortive | https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahjanemadden/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESLearn more and catch more stories from OWASP AppSec Global 2025 Barcelona coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/owasp-global-appsec-barcelona-2025-application-security-event-coverage-in-catalunya-spainCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Guest: Diana Kelley, CSO at Protect AI  Topics: Can you explain the concept of "MLSecOps" as an analogy with DevSecOps, with 'Dev' replaced by 'ML'? This has nothing to do with SecOps, right? What are the most critical steps a CISO should prioritize when implementing MLSecOps within their organization? What gets better  when you do it? How do we adapt traditional security testing, like vulnerability scanning, SAST, and DAST, to effectively assess the security of machine learning models? Can we? In the context of AI supply chain security, what is the essential role of third-party assessments, particularly regarding data provenance? How can organizations balance the need for security logging in AI systems with the imperative to protect privacy and sensitive data? Do we need to decouple security from safety or privacy? What are the primary security risks associated with overprivileged AI agents, and how can organizations mitigate these risks?  Top differences between LLM/chatbot AI security vs AI agent security?  Resources: “Airline held liable for its chatbot giving passenger bad advice - what this means for travellers” “ChatGPT Spit Out Sensitive Data When Told to Repeat ‘Poem' Forever” Secure by Design for AI by Protect AI “Securing AI Supply Chain: Like Software, Only Not” OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications OWASP Top 10 for AI Agents  (draft) MITRE ATLAS “Demystifying AI Security: New Paper on Real-World SAIF Applications” (and paper) LinkedIn Course: Security Risks in AI and ML: Categorizing Attacks and Failure Modes

Text us here! Hershall, we are glad to be back with flying colors (an old adage-big word for old saying) and they guys were hitting on all cylinders (another adage) today. Well, that is all but our beloved Deacon, Dustin Wakley. As you know he has made some personal changes over the last almost 5 years that we have been recording these episodes (in a more shall we type, unsettling direction). He was the one that came out hard against animal rights when it pertains to housing and such and then took an about face (military adage) when a precious pet found herself in the clutches of his pool cover. Today he made another big change. He let us know during a recently made popular segment that he is setting out to save the Earth... Songleader Brad gave him the title of CSO (a title known as Chief Sustainability Officer) here on the show. I think you will be aghast (big word for shocked beyond belief at the way he chose to save our great planet, but it is undeniable that he is doing just that! Other things that happened today was Brooks had a real struggle reading agin so there's that. I can't recall every thing else but really why should I have to? this is only supposed to be a brief description of the show so you will go listen to it yourself. I am really overworking myself here but I do what I can for you, Hersh. In the end we talked about the false premise that the prosperity gospel puts forward that we should give to God to get something in return. That was how the show ended...
