  • Enlipsium Logo
    Enlipsium

    Company Description
    An innovative materials company with a portfolio of products for Manufacturing, Medical and Building industries. Enlipsium's core strength is in thin-film materials and coating materials, we have our own Research and Development capabilities as well as scale up synthesis capabilities for various solution processed materials. One of our flagship product includes - Enlit SG100 Anti-Dust Coating Technology. This is a water-based sustainable coating solution that can be applied on a variety of surfaces, such as building facades and front glass of Solar Panels. With this coating in place, users can reduce their maintenance cycles since dust accumulation gets reduced drastically. In areas of high rainfall, the super-hydrophillic surface allows dirt and dust to be rinsed off effective keeping the surface clean for a long time. We see a minimal reduction of 50% in water usage to maintain the same area cleanliness and a 20% long term cost savings for facility management. Enlipsium is also working on few other innovative solutions for various technology. Such as thin film dosimetry and coming out with the world's first perovskite-based scintillators. There is also strong interest in using our materials in the field of anti-counterfeiting.
  • Enzymity Logo
    Enzymity

    Company Description
    We are developing a method for breaking down polymers such as plastics and resins into monomers with the help of synthetic enzymes. The enzymes are tailored for specific types of material (e.g. PET or synthetic rubber) and are produced by genetically modified microorganisms. The monomers which result from the process can be used to create new virgin polymers, thus reducing the need for fossil fuel derived plastics/resins. The cycle can be repeated many times and does not deteriorate the quality of the material, as opposed to the currently prevalent mechanical recycling. We are using nature-inspired active proteins (enzymes) engineered for efficiency and scale – a somewhat similar principle to how animal stomachs work to digest complex organics. Our business model is process licensing to plastics value chain players (producers, recyclers, precursor producers), prototype process release planned for H1 2022.
  • FunCell Logo
    FunCell

    Company Description
    FunCell is a company that provides biobased additives for paper, boards and nonwoven industry : - Packaging - Hygiene papers - Specialty papers - Cardboard industry Our product: - BioWet: reinforces paper mechanic x2 when dry and 20x when wet. It allows paper manufacturers to save 30% of primary material. We are using a natural polymer extracted from biomass. The additive is non-toxic! We are in the process of getting the food contact approval. The beauty of our additives is that they are increasing the mechanical strength of the treated paper and at the same time they do not hinder recyclability. A paper treated with BioWet can be “repulped” to make new paper. Paper manufacturers directly integrate the additive in their processes - it react with the cellulose naturally by forming a chemical liaison to reinforce the paper. We already have proven our additive efficiency with top-tiers customers in Europe. We are located in Grenoble (French Alps) in a region that used to be the heart of the paper ecosystem and even if this Industry has now vanished, the paper ecosystem in the region remains very active and FunCell is a living proof of it.
  • LAM'ON Logo
    LAM'ON

    Company Description
    LAM’ON is a biodegradable and suitable for composting laminating film. It offers the same results as the currently used ones and even using the same machinery. What makes it stand out is it’s composting properties of both film and glue. It is derived from renewable resources like corn. The glue layer that we developed specifically for the needs of the industry is completely toxic-free. It is also water soluble in order to ease the recycling process. On top of that our production method is simplified in a way that saves us time and money. LAM’ON offers the same results, is used on the same machines, and is offered at the same price range as the currently used laminating films. During the development of the product we received a big amount of inquiries for a packaging foil as well. And so another product was born - PACK'ON.

  • SINBIOSYS Logo
    SINBIOSYS

    Company Description
    The company develops and produces luminescent tracers, nanomaterials and intelligent materials, studies their formulations and designs optical instrumentation for use in the industrial sector. The company is currently validating an oxygen sensing system for modified atmosphere packaging. SINBIOSYS also aims to commercialize a new silicon-based material (Si), which is part of a family of luminescent semiconductor nano materials known as 'quantum dots' (QDs). In recent years SINBIOSYS has developed a portfolio of synthetic routes to obtain SiQDs that can be used in a wide range of applications, a plan for industrial scale up for both SiQDs and for the non-destructive oxygen tracking system for the food industry. SiQDs also offer the possibility of sorting plastic waste with a biocompatible and cheap material, obtaining purity of the recycled polymer higher than 99%. Knowledge in the field of molecular sensors and optical and spectroscopic instrumentation also allows us to provide materials, consultancy and ad hoc solutions also in other industrial fields. At the moment the company is collaborating with the first potential customers who are testing its products, if the results are positive it will be necessary to scale the production processes.

  • Super Polymer Logo
    Super Polymer

    Company Description
    We transform polymers into super polymers. Our technology generates new and improved polymer properties that will impact many industries such as coating, paint, displays, optics, electronics, micro and nano electronics, sensors, medical, cables and many more. Some important properties are: • Particle size - we can produce particles in a controllable diameter in the range of 3-40 microns. It can be reduced to a sub-micron size. • High refractive index - SP-HDPE has a refractive index of 1.96 comparing to raw HDPE that has a refractive index of 1.52. Effective scattering observed in a wide spectral range of 400-2000 nm [VIS to NIR]. • Opacity – the particles are white and opaque. • High dielectric constant - Calculated dielectric constant is 3.85. • Suspension in liquids - Stable dispersion in liquids (water, oil, organic media), no surfactants required, no media optimization (i.e., pH) required. • Super Hydrophobicity - Coatings that contain SP’s particles have a contact angle of 155° or higher, and a sliding angle of 2°. • Dry particles repulsion - Free dry particles would not adhere or attached to a surface containing SP’s particles. • Unique structure - The special morphology of SP's polymer’s carries many merits.
