VENTURE LAUNCH | 2025
We’re delighted to welcome you to the the annual Venture Launch, where teams from the Technology Venture Creation track pitch their ideas!
15.45 – Doors open: fika & networking
16:00 – Main program on stage begins
18:00 – Food & mingle
ince September, our venture teams have been working intensively to explore, validate, and refine new technologies in collaboration with dedicated idea partners. Now, they are ready to present their progress, share insights, and showcase their innovative solutions that aim to make a lasting impact.
During this engaging afternoon, you will provide a unique opportunity to hear from the entrepreneurs of tomorrow, learn about their future ambitions, and witness the Ernströmgruppen Climate Scholarship award ceremony, including an exclusive interview with last year’s recipient, Ebba Adolfsson, CEO at Anferra.
During the event, a panel of experts will choose which team that did the best pitch and you in the audience will also get the opportunity to vote for the best pitch via Menti. There will also be prizen given out by our partner Stena Center.
Following the main program, you are warmly invited to mingle with the teams, discuss their ventures, and explore how they aim to reshape industries and drive meaningful change through innovation.
Tonight’s hosts, Gustav and Filip are both second-year students at the TECH-track at Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship.
They’ve been working closely with all of the teams presenting this evening, and look forward to guiding you to be part of their journey.
Riferma is pioneering a next-generation wound dressing that combines the unique properties of graphene and conductive polymers to deliver direct current stimulation and enable real-time, remote wound monitoring. Chronic wounds—such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers—represent a growing and often overlooked global health crisis, placing immense strain on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems. Current treatments primarily focus on symptom management rather than driving actual healing.
Our solution aims to change that. By using biocompatible, metal-free electrodes integrated into the dressing, Riferma delivers safe and continuous electrical stimulation to the wound site, a method shown to accelerate tissue regeneration and reduce healing time. At the same time, the technology allow for continuous monitoring of key wound parameters, enabling earlier interventions and reducing the need for frequent in-person visits.
Riferma’s vision is to move beyond passive wound care and into an era of active healing—redefining how chronic wounds are treated and ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life for millions.
And the team consists of José Leal, Maria Asplund, Fredrik Tångrot, Caroline Johansen and Mohammed Al-Saadi.

Eireon is developing the first image-guided thermal therapy applicator for cancer treatment. By combining microwave-based imaging and localized heating in a single non-invasive device, our solution allows clinicians to accurately plan, deliver, and monitor thermal treatments in real time. This dramatically enhances treatment control, eliminates the need for invasive temperature probes or costly MR scanners, and improves patient comfort.
Our first focus is on head and neck tumors, with plans to expand into other areas. Our mission is to make thermal therapy a mainstream, cost-effective adjuvant to conventional cancer treatments like chemo- and radiotherapy.
The Eireon team combines entrepreneurial drive with scientific expertise. The research team includes Dr. Hana Trefna, a senior hyperthermia expert and ESHO board member, and Dr. Massimiliano Zanoli, postdoc at Erasmus MC and inventor of the core technology.
Our business development team, Jansu Ali, Ariana Mededovic & Ahmad Abdsater – are MSc students in Entrepreneurship and Business Design at Chalmers, with backgrounds in industrial engineering, software- and business development.

Vyse Tech is reinventing water heating for a sustainable future. Traditional systems are bulky, slow, and waste both energy and water due to centralized storage and long heat-up times. Our solution is a compact, faucet-integrated water heater, powered by cutting-edge 3D metal printing and heat exchange innovation, that delivers hot water instantly at the point of use.
By decentralizing water heating, we reduce energy loss, minimize water waste, and free up valuable space, enabling smarter and more climate-aligned infrastructure for homes, public facilities, and commercial spaces.

TReqs cc is a software tool aimed to help agile software development reduce bottlenecks and produce better & safer software faster. The tool integrates in Git and adds requirements to the codebase to bring together cross-functional teams making the development a smoother process.
Our team is carried by Eric Knauss, professor and Head of Division at Interaction Design and Software Engineering, together with the business developers Isabelle Bergqvist, Hannes Thörn and Klara Fejes Johansson.
We are developing a portable SPR-based biosensor for hospital-at-home care, enabling rapid and quantitative CRP testing at home.
By integrating VCSEL and metasurface technologies, our team has created a miniaturized, cost-effective, and highly sensitive diagnostic tool. This device allows for accurate remote infection monitoring, with the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce avoidable hospital visits.

The aktor-e team is working on a SaaS-based platform for the manufacturing industry. The core of the platform includes modules focused on energy efficiency that manufacturing customers can click and choose from based on the factories’ individual needs; modules such as energy-saving motion control, predictive maintenance, and peak load shaving. In today’s manufacturing landscape, data sharing between stakeholders such as line-builders, robot vendors and factories, is needed to unlock the full potential of Industry 4.0.
However, it is not a working concept as of yet. With the platform, we provide an ecosystem that facilitates this data-sharing for these stakeholders so they can leverage the knowledge-sharing and easily make data-driven decisions.
Behind the technical solution stands Constantin Cronrath, Mattias Hovgard, and Sabino Roselli, and together with the Business Developers – Bente Bosman, and Zackarias Gillberg – they are breaking new grounds by revolutionizing the optimization of Industry 4.0.
Chronic pain is a widespread problem affecting millions, particularly older adults, whose main options today are pharmaceuticals like opioids and NSAIDs, often with serious side effects. A team at Borås Textile University, led by Associate Professor and Lecturer Nils-Krister Persson and Innovation Technician Amelie Olesen, has developed an innovative garment with textile electrodes that deliver electrostimulation for personalized pain relief.
This user-focused solution was validated in a clinical study at Karolinska University Hospital. The garment offers users a safer alternative to medication, empowering them to independently manage chronic pain through personalized treatment.
The project is driven forward by business developers Andreas Jonsson, Gustav Liepa Åström, and Massimo Muratore from Chalmers E-school.
Currently there are billions of dollars spent on developing a functioning quantum computer, but almost everyone seems to be facing a very similar challenge. The fabrication of QPUs is difficult which results in a major bottleneck in current scaling efforts. The current production methods are not precise enough to accommodate the large number of qubits required to build a quantum computer.
The big players are developing in-house solutions to try and fix this problem alongside building the actual systems. IBM has their method; Google is ignoring the issue and is hoping that it all works out anyway. One of the current problems in industry is that everyone is developing in-house solutions that only work on their own architecture, thus we are here to change by developing a system that is applicable on every type of superconducting quantum computers.
Arx Technologies boosts quantum chip yields by precisely trimming Josephson junctions’ post-fabrication. Our solution prevents frequency collisions, cuts waste, lowers costs, and reduces production complexity, enabling scalable superconducting quantum computers.
