Spark develops local production sources of clean hydrogen. Our proprietary technology, unique worldwide, uses non-thermal plasmas to convert (bio)methane into hydrogen and carbon black. This results in a zero or negative carbon footprint for hydrogen production, with a very low electricity requirement. Spark aims to produce hydrogen directly on site through its modular system and addresses the need for a cost-effective source of clean hydrogen for industry and carbon-free heavy mobility. Today, we are on the way to deploy industrial pilots to prepare commercialization.

Face à une population mondiale en pleine croissance mettant sous pression les productions agricoles, Aisprid a pour mission de soutenir les Hommes pour les nourrir durablement grâce à la robotique de haute précision combinée à l’intelligence artificielle. En réponse à la pénurie de main dœuvre que vivent durement les producteurs, Aisprid conçoit, fabrique et commercialise des robots autonomes adaptés au monde végétal et capables de l’analyser pour pouvoir agir sur lui. Hautement précis pour réaliser les tâches les plus minutieuses, simples d’utilisation pour éviter les pertes de temps, les agro-équipements Aisprid réduisent les risques opérationnels et sanitaires tout en améliorant les conditions de travail de celles et ceux qui s’occupent du vivant, plantes comme fruits. Après 3 années de R&D en collaboration avec les producteurs, Aisprid a déployé en 2023 une première flotte de robots précis et évolutifs dédiés à l’effeuillage de plants de tomates. Cette opération critique est essentielle pour favoriser la pénétration de la lumière et améliorer la qualité des fruits. Un premier pas vers le futur de l’agriculture où la robotique et l’intelligence artificielle riment avec le vivant et le soutien aux êtres humains.

Pixee Medical is developing a new generation of computer assisted surgery tools using augmented reality and mixed reality. A simple pair of smart glasses allows the navigation of prostheses without percutaneous bone reference, nor associated consumable. Our dedicated instrumentation automatically transfers essential anatomical landmarks to the software. The surgical parameters are then displayed on a virtual screen combining real and virtual images. To do this, our company has developed proprietary software tools to use the simple camera from glasses to accurately locate bone structures and instruments. Our customizable workflows provide the surgeon with assistance tailored to their needs without wasting time. Our products are affordable and without disposable.
