Logic Flow: automated code translation
Corporations seeking to stay digitally competitive are often struck by tech-debt and old architecture, inherited from past software projects. Before they can implement new and agile applications, companies first need to translate legacy software into modern coding languages and frameworks. Logic Flow has built an artificial intelligence which automates repetitive code translation tasks. Working with the team's bot allows migration projects to be completed with within a fraction of the time. With a minimum viable product that has proven its efficacy on real-life projects, co-founders Lucas Fiévet, Sandro Schneider and Zhiying Cui are in discussion for pilot projects with potential clients while also actively seeking the next level of funding to develop their business.
 
INERGIO: lightweight fuel cells operating on standard butane/propane
This EPFL spin-off is developing faster, portable energy units that offer ten times the power at half the weight of current technology. Founder Mahmoud Hadad’s fuel cell innovation, which uses standard butane or propane that’s safe and available worldwide, offers high autonomy. INERGIO’s fuel cell geometry allows unlimited scaling, making the technology suitable for applications ranging from charging consumer electronics to auxiliary power for drones to automobile fuel cells. The team has a working prototype and is looking to have its minimal viable product by summer 2020 to start the pilot project with potiential partners and customers.
