FLEEPtech

FLEEPtech is a semiconductor company specializing in the development and commercialization of a new technology called PrintIC, a platform based on organic, carbon-based materials capable of creating integrated circuits and complex systems based on complementary organic thin film transistors. By integrating intelligence into everyday objects that cannot accommodate traditional silicon-based microchips or PCBs, FLEEPtech enables the next generation of smart objects. The company aims to sell products based on this market-creating technology to various industries such as packaging, biomedical devices, and sensors. FLEEPtech's unique technology features unprecedented mechanical flexibility, sustainability, reduced environmental impact, customizable form factors, and fast turn-around times.



Celtro

Today's medical device technology is limited by battery dependent energy supply, out-of-organ implantation sites with long lead connections, and problematic tissue interface capabilities.

CELTRO GmbH was founded in 2019 and develops semiconductor-, packaging-, and tissue-interface-technologies with the goal to create a new platform of medical devices. These devices will be miniaturized, for implantation into target organs, and operate autonomously, through electrical energy harvesting from cellular action potentials. Our patented technology enables the collection of electrical energy in the NanoWatt range from living cells for the purpose of redeploying this energy to autonomously sense, pace, and communicate with biological tissue and other medical electronic devices.



Spiden

aspires to become the benchmark platform for longevity and preventative medicine by providing real-time biomarker and drug analysis to empower clinicians and patients, as well as healthy individuals in making more informed, timely decisions and increase the safety and efficacy of medical treatments. It has developed the world’s first data generation platform to perform spectroscopic measurements of a wide range of biomarkers and drugs in blood. It envisions a future where human blood can be continuously measured with an implant (based on ICs that are designed with Cadence tools) and become state-of-the-art to living a healthier and longer life, detecting diseases earlier, and helping to improve and personalize medical treatments. In the short term, Spiden intends to work with established industry players and create blood monitoring technology that can improve the safety and efficacy of treatments of the critically ill in clinical settings.

Spiden was founded in Switzerland in 2017. The company has recruited an R&D team comprised of biophotonics experts, opto-mechanical engineers, data scientists, artificial intelligence experts and electronics engineers working out of its headquarter in Pfäffikon SZ.

iQrypto

iQrypto is a deep tech, B2B start-up creating the next generation of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) for a variety of applications. We are incubated by the European Space Agency to provide QRNGs for Satellite Space communications and we aim to target the consumer market next with our small form factor and low power device.
