Lyrasense

LYRASENSE develops advanced dual-use AI agents to democratize geospatial intelligence, enabling rapid creation and deployment of actionable solutions from satellite and geospatial data, simplifying complex analyses and reducing operational barriers and costs.

Project-S

The growing space debris problem, especially 1–10 cm fragments, threatens satellites and missions, with over 900,000 objects in orbit. Traditional ground-based and optical tracking is limited by atmosphere, line-of-sight, and darkness. Project-S tackles this with an AI-driven, radar-based CubeSat system. Its active microwave radar detects small debris in all conditions, while AI onboard and deep learning on the ground provide real-time, accurate tracking.

Qoro Quantum

Quantum computing promises advances in simulation, optimization, and machine learning, but requires large-scale, robust systems. Modular architectures offer scalability but add networking and orchestration challenges. Qoro Quantum solves this with a network stack that automates parallelization and orchestration of quantum algorithms across networked devices, including hybrid classical-quantum systems, accelerating real-world quantum computing capabilities.

LEAM Technologies

Using Light to Enable Additive Manufacturing for the most challenging applications.

VORTEX Aerotec

VORTEX is developing Ventus, a fuel-cell-powered long-range eVTOL drone for middle mile logistics, offering 500 km range, 50 kg payload capacity, and rapid five-minute refueling. Unlike short-range battery drones or gas turbine competitors, Ventus combines low emissions, large cargo space, and compact design with GNSS-PPP precision navigation for safe BVLOS operations. Backed by IP in aerodynamics, hybrid power control, and fuel cell integration, the experienced VORTEX team is targeting a fast-growing $3B market with a scalable OEM approach.

Salutes Space

Intelligent computing system with novel Robot-on-Chip technology for autonomous operations in space and on Earth.

Roundpeg

ROUNDPEG develops AI-based, cognitive robots to revolutionize the manufacturing industry. Due to a unique, integrated human recognition system, our robots work 10x faster than today’s systems.

ExoMatter

ExoMatter helps companies find the ideal materials for their applications by replacing trial and error with data. Our software platform leverages scientific simulations and Machine Learning in order to suggest materials candidates. The platform is currently in use by customers such as Airbus, Infineon or BSH. Within ESA BIC, we are prototyping applications in the space industry in order to enter this market.

Aves Reality

We turn satellite images into 3D digital twin worlds.

allunderground

We are allunderground, a deep-tech startup from Munich, developing cable drilling machines for underground power lines. The European electricity grid is the bottleneck in the transition to renewable energy, and we are here to change that. Our startup is a spin-off from the student initiative TUM Boring – Innovation in Tunneling, where we won two Elon Musk tunneling competitions in a row.
