Exowatt is a next generation renewable energy company offering commercial and industrial customers a modular full-stack energy solution that can provide dispatchable power and heat for up to 24 hours per day, specifically designed to meet the needs of energy-intensive applications such as data centers. Our mission is clear, to make sustainable renewable energy always available and almost free.

Saronic is building cutting-edge unmanned surface vehicles that enable maritime security and domain awareness by combining best-in-class hardware, software and artificial intelligence into one scalable, fully integrated platform.

Aalo Atomics designs and builds factory-manufactured nuclear power plants for data centers, industry, and cities. AI infrastructure requires firm, high-density power on timelines the existing grid cannot support. The Aalo Pod delivers it as a complete modular power plant, mass-manufactured in a factory and sited directly at the load. In July 2026, the Aalo Critical Test Reactor achieved first criticality at Idaho National Laboratory as part of the U.S. Department of Energys Reactor Pilot Program. Construction of the pilot Aalo-X full-power 10 MWe power plant is underway. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Aalo pairs nuclear scientists, engineers, and operators with builders from technology, defense, and manufacturing to eventually achieve 3¢/kWh nuclear electricity at scale, growing from 2 people to 200 in three years with $300M+ raised and an operational factory. Energy without limits, for everyone.

Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company developing AI-powered robots to support humanity in every facet of life. Our humanoid robot, Apollo, is designed to collaborate thoughtfully with humans—initially in critical industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with future applications in healthcare, the home, and beyond. Apollo is the culmination of nearly a decade of development, drawing on Apptronik’s extensive work on 15 previous robots, including NASA’s Valkyrie robot. Apptronik started out of the Human Centered Robotics Lab at the University of Texas at Austin and has more than 350 employees. Learn more at apptronik.com

Lyten is the Supermaterial Applications Company building the critical infrastructure that powers the next era of energy, AI data centers, and defense. The energy transition, data centers, and advanced manufacturing is reshaping global demand for power. Lyten is focused on delivering the energy infrastructure these industries need; manufactured domestically, engineered for resilience, and designed to be cleaner. We recently announced Lyten Industrial Hubs, which collocate gigawatt scale battery manufacturing with data center sites. Our Voltpack Mobile System (VMS), part of our integrated power management platform, powers industrial, commercial, and defense operations as well as the AI buildout itself. Advanced batteries and integrated power systems sit at the center of the energy transition. Our lithium-sulfur chemistry eliminates 90% of the mined minerals required by conventional batteries, localizes supply chains, and uses an abundant industrial byproduct to deliver high energy density cells across a wide range of applications. Weve also recently acquired the advanced lithium-ion battery technology developed by Northvolt, formerly Europes largest battery manufacturer, which now powers our BESS and other battery products. Beyond energy, our Lyten 3D Graphene™ supermaterial platform also solves specific problems across essential industries and infrastructure; including concrete admixtures for stronger, lower-carbon construction, structural adhesives and 3D printer filaments for advanced manufacturing, and gas-vapor and bio-sensors transforming health, safety, and logistics. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Jose, CA, Lyten is backed by more than $625M in equity investment and holds 1,000+ patents granted or pending. Weve been named to Fast Companys Most Innovative Companies, TIMEs Americas Top GreenTech Companies (2024, 2025, & 2026), and the Silicon Valley Defense Journals Top 100 National Security Companies three years running.

Hammerspace is radically changing how unstructured data is used and preserved. Our Global Data Platform unifies unstructured data across edge, data centers, and clouds. It provides extreme parallel performance for AI, GPUs, and high-speed data analytics, and orchestrates data to any location and any storage system. This approach creates a Global Data Platform that eliminates data silos and makes data an instantly accessible resource for users, applications, and compute clusters, no matter where they are located.

CubeFabs builds AI-powered factories for next-generation semiconductor device manufacturing. We combine real-time process intelligence, closed-loop control, and modular fab architecture to make production possible for materials and devices that have historically been too complex, too variable, or too defect-prone to scale. Our platform enables continuous learning across tools, processes, and facilities, allowing our fab owners to detect excursions earlier, optimize yield faster, and bring new device classes to production at scale. CubeFabs’ initial focus is Gallium Oxide, an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor with the potential to dramatically improve power efficiency and performance across data centers, electric vehicles, and energy infrastructure. We’re building the factories that make the future possible.

Digs AI unlocks happier homes. Digs is an AI platform for builders that focuses on Pre-Construction & Warranty/Aftercare. Digs AI automatically structures documents, enhances collaboration, and generates digital twin homeowner handoffs. Digs’ results in more efficient builds and a full digital understanding [3D digital twin] of the home for the homeowner that is both usable and shareable - Homefax for the home. Unlocking happier homes.
