The world is looking to replace the 84% fossil energy currently used on earth with sustainable options to make a minimal impact on the planet’s ecology. Hydrogen is the most promising candidate as an energy carrier and raw material to arrive to net zero carbon and beyond as soon as viable.
Smena has developed a unique and patented material that can be potentially make hydrogen cheaper to produce and safer to work with. Our material can also potentially be used to better monitor poisonous gasses such as Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and ammonia, (NH3). Smena’s technology stems from world class research in physics at Chalmers University of Technology.

Imaging biomolecules like proteins is critical in fundamental life science research and drug development, but studying these tiny objects is beyond of what is possible with the conventional microscopes. Several single molecule detection methods have therefore been developed but they require modifications of the molecules that could lead to changes of their intrinsic properties thus biological function, which can result in incorrect conclusions. Envue Technologies offers a revolutionizing patent-pending optical technology called Nanofluidic Scattering Microscopy (NSM) that can provide imaging of single biomolecules in the nanometer size without modifications. The unique combination of microscopic device, nanofluidic chip, and software for data analysis enables real-time data of both molecular weight and size, and these parameters can be used to extract further information about the investigated molecules.

When we recycle plastic, it becomes weaker. Recycled plastic is rarely used in high performance applications because it is too weak compared to virgin plastic. Simply put, there is little incentive to use weak recycled waste – which is part of the reason we only recycle 33% in Europe.
Glenntex innovates and develops material solutions which improve the properties of polymers and post-consumer plastic. We are building a more sustainable relationship with plastic through improving the upcycling of waste plastic to reduce the need for virgin material, whilst improving product longevity. Using state of the art research developed at Chalmers University of Technology, our graphene-related innovation can make waste plastic more attractive for higher use applications including sports equipment and textiles. In short, we improve both performance and sustainability.

New battery technology plays an important role in the transition to more sustainable societies. Most green energy sources, such as wind and solar, depend on efficient energy storage. The same applies to the transition to an electrified transport sector.
Compular enables more efficient and innovative R&D practices of battery development by providing a groundbreaking analysis software. With Compular’s solution, molecular dynamic structures and arising properties can be simulated and analyzed in advance. This leads to more effective processes, shortened development cycles and the creation of more high performing and sustainable batteries.
Today, Compular is conducting pilot projects with key actors within the battery material industry and hope to validate how our solution is both commercially successful and leads to a more sustainable world.
If you (or anyone you know) want to get a glimpse of the future of material development, reach out to us and we will set up a demo
Atium

Atium’s goal is to help create an environment free from toxic heavy metals. We are developing a patent-pending reusable filter technology for removing toxic heavy metals from water. Compared to existing solutions, it is:
- Effective at removing very low concentrations of heavy metals.
- Selective, and does not waste capacity on harmless substances.
- Sustainable, since it is reusable, has a low energy consumption and it does not require consumables nor produce any secondary waste.
The patent pending technology is based on Chalmers research.
