Limula Biotech – Yann Pierson
Limula Biotech’s vision is to bring ex vivo gene therapies to the people. To fulfil this ambition, they offer a system that allows to automatically manufacture, from a patient white blood cell sample, genetically engineered cells at its bedside. In order to cover the production diversity of these therapies they propose a solution that can incorporate custom processes, multiple cell types and gene delivery systems.
microPow (food/cosmetics) – Pascal Guillet and Lea Pokorny
Consumers today are asking for natural, additive-free, but at the same time highly convenient food products. That’s a contradiction, as especially sensitive and volatile aromas & flavours of convenience products are often stabilized by additives to preserve their quality during processing, storage and distribution. The vision of microPow is to enhance the perception and stability of natural aromas and flavors through a micro-structured, powder-based delivery technique. Since this solves problems in the cosmetics industry as well as food, the technology has great market potential.
Swiss Vault Systems (ICT) – Bhupinder Bhullar
Data is the new Gold and the world’s demand for data storage is exploding (10 times growth expected by 2025). The current solutions are not economical or environmentally sustainable. Swiss Vault Systems tackles this problem with integrated hardware and software solutions that provide low-cost, low-power, high-density data storage. User-friendly security measures make it easy for SMEs to protect sensitive data and comply with regulations like GDPR. The result is cost and time savings, as well as Green Technology that reduces the data-carbon footprint.
TYXIT (sound engineering) – Raphaël Buache
His own frustration with the long and difficult set-up required for playing in a band led Raphaël Buache to develop a wireless personal mixing system. The TYXIT solution combines the functions now offered by personal mixers, transceivers, recorders and sound processors into one affordable, easy to use, wearable device linked to a control smartphone app.
