Feon Energy is pioneering the next leap in energy storage by revolutionizing battery electrolytes, the critical yet often overlooked component. Our pharma-inspired molecule design platform enables us to invent tailored electrolyte molecules for each battery chemistrys unique needs, rather than force-fitting existing materials. This innovative approach allows us to develop non-flammable, high-performance electrolytes that unlock new frontiers in safety, cost, and energy density. By redefining battery electrolyte, we are set to transform industries - from making electric vehicles safer and more accessible to enabling the future of electrified aviation. Based in the greater Boston area and born from Stanford University research, were not just improving batteries; were revolutionizing how energy is stored and used.

Founded in 2016, Vibrosonic GmbH is a pioneer in the field of medical technology focused on providing people with hearing impairment a close-to-normal hearing experience. Our core invention, the Vibrosonic Hearing Contact Lens®, is a micro-loudspeaker that is placed directly onto the eardrum, thereby stimulating the natural hearing process. The result is a broad sound spectrum, covering high frequencies for speech comprehension and low frequencies for a striking experience when listening to music for example. Our objective is to develop the first invisible hearing aid based on our core technology. The Hearing Contact Lens is the result of a research project between the University Hospital Tübingen, the Fraunhofer IPA, and other partners, originally directed at the development of an implant. Researchers and later founders of Vibrosonic found out that the Hearing Contact Lens can also be applied to non-implantable hearing solutions.

At Caresyntax, we are dedicated to making surgery safer and smarter. Our mission is to converge AI-powered software, devices, and clinical services to help our customers improve surgical outcomes. Our platform, an enterprise-grade surgical intelligence system, is vendor-neutral and equipped with proprietary software, hardware, and advanced AI capabilities. It can ingest and analyze data throughout the surgical workflow, including EMR, video, audio, image, device data, financial and outcomes data, and clinical and operational metrics to capture a complete picture of the surgical pathway. The platform generates insights across the entire continuum of care—before the procedure with surgical workflow optimization, during surgery with real-time clinically relevant support tools, and post procedure with clinical safety modules. The platform also produces data analytics and insights for medical device companies, insurers, and other ecosystem players to innovate and drive the future of healthcare delivery. Headquartered in the US in San Francisco and internationally in Berlin, Caresyntax software is used in over 4,200 ORs globally and aids surgical teams in over 3 million procedures annually.
