We launched our first batch with nine start-ups that are developing technological innovations ranging from diagnostic tests and autonomous cooking systems to
mobile quantum computers. Over a period of six months early-stage startups in areas such as semiconductors, Internet of Things, sensor technology, quantum technology and robotics through tailored mentoring, intensive coaching and individual workshops support. In addition, they gain access to industrial companies and investors in order to make their
technologies ready for the market.
diamics
diamics produces high-precision diagnostic tests that can be carried out directly on site, for example in doctors' surgeries or clinics. They use a special technology that makes it possible to analyze samples quickly and automatically without the need for large devices. This makes it possible to make accurate diagnoses anywhere and makes diagnostics more accessible to many people.
Flexoscope
Flexoscope develops a flexible endoscope with an ultra-small camera (<1 mm diameter) to improve root canal treatments. This technology enables dentists to precisely examine hard-to-reach areas and reduce complications such as inflammation or instrument breakage. With a complete solution comprising a camera unit and software, Flexoscope aims to improve the quality of treatment through better diagnoses.
FaradaIC
FaradaIC launches the world's smallest electrochemical gas sensors. These solid-state sensors do not require liquid electrolytes and are extremely small and cost-efficient thanks to microelectronic production. They can be easily integrated into the production of silicon ICs and offer precise gas monitoring for various applications, especially in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Mana Robotics
Mana Robotics is working on fully autonomous cooking systems for home and commercial kitchens based on the latest advances in robotics and machine learning. The compact systems prepare healthy meals from fresh, commercially available ingredients and are about to enter the market. This technology is the first of its kind to be developed specifically for home use and offers a unique, fully autonomous solution for the kitchen.
NSS Water
NSS Water develops and patents technologies for the production of ultra-pure water, specifically for the semiconductor industry. Ultra-pure water (UPW) is critical to avoid contamination that can cause microchip damage. NSS Water has developed WET (Water Enhancement Tool), a technology that produces the world's first Nanopure® water (NPW) free of impurities above 5 nanometers. The “point of use” solution reduces water consumption and the use of chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid in production by up to 90 %. This increases the efficiency of semiconductor production and reduces the environmental impact, especially in regions where water is scarce.
Peeriot
Peeriot has set itself the task of simplifying the networking of IoT devices and thus significantly reducing complexity and costs. Success in the IoT sector depends heavily on the ability to establish effective networks. This is where Peeriot comes in: Until now, networking has required a high degree of manual activity. Peeriot is developing middleware that enables IoT devices to exchange their data in a self-organized manner. This creates intelligent swarms of devices that work collaboratively and can efficiently solve complex tasks together.
NanoMatter
NanoMatter creates ultra-thin, energy-efficient semiconductor materials, in particular so-called TMDs (Transition Metal Dichalcogenides). These materials are used for the next generation of chips and electronics. Using innovative manufacturing processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), NanoMatter produces these 2D materials on various substrates
Novo AI
Novo AI is an industrial data platform provider that retrofits machines with low-cost sensors to enable data-based predictions for machine maintenance. The combination of sensors and the Watchmen AI platform optimizes production processes, monitors machine conditions and detects anomalies at an early stage. This enables companies to minimize downtimes, use energy more efficiently and extend the service life of their machines.
SaxonQ
SaxonQ is a deep-tech start-up specializing in the development of the world's first mobile quantum computer. The company, a spin-off from Leipzig University, uses an innovative technology that makes it possible to produce quantum computers small enough to fit in a car. Unlike conventional quantum computers, which require extensive cooling, SaxonQ's quantum computer is completely cooling-free and can be operated at room temperature.
