Locaboo ist ein SaaS Startup aus München, das sich auf die Digitalisierung und Automatisierung kommunaler Ressourcenverwaltung fokussiert hat. Öffentliche Gebäude wie Sportstätten, Kultur- und Veranstaltungsbereiche, Bürgerhäuser und vieles mehr werden Stand heute aufwendig und manuell verwaltet und bleiben über ihre Lebenszeit bis zu 90% ungenutzt. Mit unserer Cloud-Lösung wird so die Nutzung vorhandener Ressourcen und Liegenschaften optimiert und die Verwaltung auf Autopilot gesetzt. Mittlerweile nutzen bereits rd. 500 Kunden in der DACH-Region Locaboo, um entsprechende Prozesse zu automatisieren und neben der Einsparung von Aufwänden gleichzeitig die Auslastung zu optimieren und somit die Datengrundlage für eine zukünftige und nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung zu schaffen.

The EVUM aCar is a compact all-electric commercial vehicle with all-wheel drive. EVUM Motors is the spin-off of a visionary research project at the Technical University of Munich. The electric-vehicle developed by the then project leaders Martin Šoltés and Sascha Koberstaedt should not remain just an idea. The industrialisation of the research project is now the heartfelt project of a now large team that is driving forward the realisation of the mission with a great deal of commitment and motivation. The aCar is manufactured at the factory in Bayerbach near Ergoldsbach. The noiseless and emission-free aCar is particularly suitable for natural habitats. The all-wheel drive makes it a multifunctional off-road vehicle. But also indoors, the aCars size (1.5 m wide and 1.99 m high) makes it the ideal commercial vehicle for your logistical needs. With the additional loading capacity of 1,000 kg payload or 1,000 kg trailer load (braked), the aCar utility vehicle is indispensable in everyday life. The aCar also serves as a power source. The external socket allows the operation of any electrical devices (230 V) with up to 3 kW continuous power.

otego develops innovative thermoelectric generators (TEG) as an independent energy supply for wireless sensors and actuators. TEGs convert heat directly into electric power as soon as there is a condition of differences in temperature. They work completely maintenance-free and can use even small differences in temperature. The interdisciplinary founding team managed to bring together low-cost materials and industrial production methods for the first time. That is why otego will be the first manufacturer to produce TEGs suitable for broad mass applications. It is otego's goal that future wireless sensors and IoT-devices such as smart home heating valves are operating energy self-sufficient. In many connected devices inconvenient battery changes will be a thing of the past.

CorTec - Thinking ahead CorTec is a young company in the field of medical engineering. We are developing the world’s most efficient implants serving as a direct interface between brain and technology. CorTec Brain Interchange is an new brain pacemaker technology that we are offering to our customers for the treatment of neurological diseases. The completely implantable system is able to record brain activity and influence it by electrical stimulation. The unique feature of CorTec Brain Interchange is that it is able to control itself (closed-loop technology): The system records the brain’s activity and thus the effect of its stimulation. It then aligns its further activities with the recorded data. Neurotechnological implants currently available on the market work via externally controlled continuous stimulation of the brain. CorTec Brain Interchange determines the respective therapeutic demand in direct communication with the brain and thus allows for more gentle treatment. As a technology platform CorTec Brain Interchange is open to many fields of application in therapy, rehabilitation or assistive technology. We are already serving a growing circle of prestigious international customers in industry and research that are mostly using our proprietary °AirRay electrode. CorTec news also on Facebook and Twitter: https://www.facebook.com/CorTecNeuro/ https://twitter.com/_CorTec_ Join our Team!
