Green hydrogen is key to cutting emissions from heavy industry and transport. PEM electrolysis is the technology best suited to run on renewable power, but it has one weak point: the anode depends on iridium, one of the scarcest metals on earth. Iridium is too costly and too scarce to build capacity at the pace the transition needs. In today’s catalysts most of it sits buried inside the material, never reacting.
Iridica has developed a patent-pending method that builds the catalyst as a monolayer, a single atom thick, cutting the amount of iridium needed by up to 90 percent without losing performance.
The technology originates from research at Chalmers University of Technology by Assistant Professor Daniel Weber, who in 2025 partnered with Vincent Hansen, now CEO, to bring it to market.

ELIRO Technology is developing a new generation of electric motors to address one of the biggest challenges in electrification. Today’s motors are often too heavy, expensive, resource-intensive, and inefficient for many demanding applications. Conventional designs rely on costly rare earth magnets and often struggle to deliver high torque in a compact format.
Our patented electric motor architecture combines axial and radial magnetic flux in a novel way, enabling high torque at low speeds without the need for a gearbox. The design is compact, lightweight, and developed with manufacturability and scalability in mind. It also enables the use of ferrite magnets as an alternative to rare earth magnets, reducing dependence on critical raw materials while maintaining high performance.
By making electric propulsion more resource-efficient, affordable, and easier to manufacture, ELIRO Technology has the potential to accelerate electrification across multiple industries. We are initially targeting the marine sector, where our technology can enable more sustainable and efficient propulsion systems while strengthening supply chain resilience.

While AI is revolutionizing material discovery by identifying optimal nanostructures, a critical manufacturing bottleneck remains: scaling these innovations from the lab to the factory. Traditional batch chemistry struggles to maintain precision at industrial volumes due to uneven temperature control and mixing, forcing industries to choose between poor quality or prohibitive costs.
NanoScientifica solves this challenge by replacing batch methods with a proprietary flow chemistry system. By running reactions through precisely controlled tubes, the platform ensures uniform temperature gradients and homogeneous mixing. Combined with deep expertise in synthesis protocols, this approach delivers monodisperse, size- and shape-controlled nanoparticles with minimal batch-to-batch variability, with current capacity of kilograms per week. By bridging the gap between computational discovery and industrial deployment, NanoScientifica turns theoretical breakthroughs into scalable reality, enabling the next generation of advanced catalysts for fuel cells, CO₂ reduction, and green chemistry.
To simplify:
AI can design better nano-materials, but scaling them from lab to factory is difficult. Traditional batch production in large tanks is hard to control at high volumes, leading to uneven temperature and mixing, inconsistent quality, and high costs. NanoScientifica solves this with flow chemistry, running reactions continuously through controlled tubes to ensure stable conditions. This produces uniform nanoparticles with minimal variation, already at kilogram-per-week scale.
By enabling reliable industrial manufacturing, NanoScientifica turns scientific discoveries into practical solutions such as improved fuel cells, CO₂ reduction, and greener chemical processes.

Arkeon Technologies is addressing one of the biggest bottlenecks in building scalable superconducting quantum computers: the lack of precise and efficient post-fabrication tuning of qubit frequencies.
In today’s quantum processors, small variations in fabrication lead to frequency collisions and crosstalk between qubits, limiting performance and scalability.
Arkeon’s patent pending post-fabrication trimming process allows precise adjustment of Josephson junction resistances directly on completed chips, enabling controlled tuning of qubit frequencies without multiple cooldowns or redesign cycles. This approach integrates seamlessly with existing foundry processes and eliminates the need for costly fabrication iterations.
By solving the frequency collision problem, Arkeon unlocks higher qubit yields, improved device uniformity, and faster development cycles, critical enablers for quantum computing at scale. The potential impact spans across leading quantum hardware developers seeking to accelerate time-to-market, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of processor performance.

Vyse Tech develops a groundbreaking technology that transforms how we use hot water. Today, huge amounts of energy and water are wasted because hot water is heated centrally, stored in large tanks, and pushed through long pipes before reaching the user. The result is standby losses, pipe losses, and unnecessary flushing – inefficiencies that cost households, property owners, and society at large.
The innovation is a faucet-integrated water heater that produces hot water instantly at the outlet – only and precisely when needed. At its core lies a compact heat exchanger manufactured with advanced metal 3D printing. This patented design enables optimized internal geometry, allowing rapid and highly energy-efficient heating. The product is ultra-compact, easy to install in both new and existing systems, and eliminates virtually all hot water waste.
For property owners, this means lower operating costs and a cost-effective way to upgrade existing buildings. For users, it delivers immediate comfort with hot water on demand. And for society, it offers a sustainable shift: reducing resource consumption, cutting emissions, and relieving infrastructure – a vital step forward in an era of rising energy prices, growing water scarcity, and ambitious climate targets.

Potential
Global business and impact.
Bury underground, where it can mineralize in the bedrock and prevent it from returning to the atmosphere.
Transform the captured carbon dioxide into new, greener products.
The world urgently needs solutions to manage carbon emissions, and Korall has developed a promising one. Our technology captures carbon dioxide directly from the air, a breakthrough achieved by our research team at Chalmers University. During a coffee break, the team left an experiment unattended. When they returned, they discovered something amazing. The chemicals had captured carbon dioxide from the air at an incredible rate, so the technology’s foundation was born.
The business model is simple and can be likened to a garbage truck for the air. We capture the carbon dioxide, a customer pays for the collection, and then receives a certificate for the amount of carbon dioxide collected. We are currently working to scale up, further develop, and improve this technology to reach the market and make a real difference. With this technology, we aim to actively contribute to lowering our emissions and help the world return to a better state.
