Ultromics pioneers precision heart failure detection. Our groundbreaking platform, EchoGo®, is revolutionizing the diagnosis of heart failure using artificial intelligence and cardiac ultrasound. Our technology empowers clinicians to make precise, efficient, and accurate assessments, drawing from the largest known heart disease dataset in echocardiography. We target challenging cardiac diseases, starting with HFpEF, to support timely diagnosis and early intervention. In collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, Johnson & Johnson, and Pfizer, we are continuously developing innovative diagnostic tools aimed at halting the progression of heart failure.

Limiting global warming to 1.5°C implies reaching net zero CO2 emissions in 2050 according to the IPCC. Next to substantially reducing emissions, this target will only be possible by globally deploying carbon removal (CDR) solutions at the scale of billions of tons of CO2. Neustark is a leading provider in this rapidly growing field, having developed a solution to permanently store CO2 from the air in recycled mineral waste such as demolished concrete. Our first solutions have been deployed in Switzerland and Europe and are already capturing and storing tons of CO2 every week. We are currently scaling up our operations and carbon removal impact globally – on the road to removing one million tons of CO2 in 2030, and beyond that. Founded in 2019, neustark AG is based in Berne, Switzerland, and is a team of around 55 people (as per Q3 2023) working at our Berne, Zurich and Cologne offices. Together, we enable permanent CO2 storage for a bright future of all generations on our planet. What we do in a nutshell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joVBNV9O2MA
