Maple Aviation

Maple Aviation is developing the first scalable autonomous eVTOL drone fleet for mid-mile, heavy-payload transport that is both extremely energy-efficient and emission-free. With payload capacities from 10 kg to 200 kg over 120 km, our drones require landing pads as small as 3×3 m—making them dramatically more practical and cost-effective than competitors. Targeting the booming drone cargo market across medical, pharma, intralogistics, and agriculture, Maple Aviation is positioned to lead the next generation of sustainable air cargo delivery.

AIRMO

AIRMO addresses the challenge of precise and real-time greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions monitoring by providing detailed data on methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions via LiDAR satellite technology. This empowers organizations to make informed decisions, optimize sustainability, and ensure regulatory compliance with near-instant alerts on emission spikes and continuous verification.
AIRMO’s unique selling point is its high precision and near real-time data capability. Active in the downstream domain, AIRMO uses space-based technology to deliver essential environmental data.

RoseEnergetic

RoseEnergetic UG’s RoseBoom© software accelerates energetic material discovery by predicting properties like density, enthalpy, and detonation velocity from molecular structures in seconds. Acting like a “gold pan” for chemistry, it identifies the most promising compounds without slow synthesis or heavy computation. With strong IP and validated performance, RoseBoom© will expand to polymers, semiconductors, and other materials for high-throughput applications in space and advanced sectors.

QuantumDiamonds

Quantum Diamonds develops atom-sized quantum sensors in diamonds with unmatched sensitivity for magnetic fields, temperature, and pressure, capable of operating under extreme conditions. Our ready-to-use NV diamonds serve high-value applications—from satellite control and semiconductor manufacturing to healthcare and quantum computing—providing compact, robust, multi-sensing solutions where conventional sensors fall short.

Neomium

Neomium GmbH develops high-end electric motor controllers and sustainable, easily recyclable battery packs for the mobility sector, targeting applications from e-motorbikes to spacecraft and eVTOL aircraft. Building on this expertise, we are advancing a highly efficient paraglider-based cargo UAV capable of lifting up to 500 kg, leveraging satellite navigation, weather data, and autonomous flight capabilities. Our two-pillar strategy—quickly bringing components to market while developing a visionary cargo UAV—positions Neomium for growth in the rapidly expanding electric powertrain and UAV markets.

XenoPatch

Xenopatch is developing the world’s first wearable Heating-Cooling-Patch (HCP) that combines aerospace-grade thermoelectric technology with medical science to relieve back pain and speed up healing. Unlike conventional heating pads, our rechargeable, wireless patch delivers personalized hot-and-cold cycles that both relax muscles and block pain signals—acting as an “invisible day-to-day assistant” for millions.

Dromni

Dromni is pioneering the next stage of the creator economy by making 3D immersive content creation as easy as shooting photos or videos. Using off-the-shelf devices like iPhones and iPads, our toolchain lets creators capture, process, and share volumetric reality in real time—streaming directly into game engines and metaverse platforms.

Excellion

Excellion develops high-reliability battery systems for aerospace, leveraging commercial-off-the-shelf 2170 cells to deliver 2× the energy, 10× the power, and half the cost of today’s aerospace batteries. Our proprietary accelerated ageing and validation approach makes the latest automotive-grade cells space-ready within months, and our patented polymer-foam modules ensure fire- and explosion-proof safety.
