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.
Symphera
Symphera has developed the Surgery System (SSR), the first laparoscopic platform that automates tool changes, cutting operating time by up to 20% while improving surgeon efficiency and patient outcomes. Unlike traditional instruments, SSR lets surgeons switch seamlessly between tools inside the body, without assistance or workflow interruptions. Backed by successful pre-clinical trials, strong surgeon demand, and IP rooted in space-grade sterilization technology.
Hypersonica
Hypersonica will focus their efforts on developing a viable hypersonic flight geometry which will fit the needs of glide and cruise applications for hypersonic planes. During the incubation period, Hypersonica aims to lie the foundation of our flight geometry, but we will not be able to present a finished product and therefore anticipate demonstrating an initial geometry in hypersonic flow.
Aatral ESP
Aatral ESP is breaking the lithium monopoly with patented Sodium-ion battery technology, using abundant sodium and Nasicon-based cathodes to deliver safer, more stable, and cost-effective energy storage. Our batteries target high-demand sectors from renewable grid storage to space applications, offering longer cycle life, easier manufacturing, and enhanced safety compared to conventional solutions. With a skilled founding team and IP-backed innovation, we aim to scale from R&D to mass production and become a leading player in the global energy storage market.
Olive Robotics
Olive Robotics is an innovative tech company specializing in creating software-defined, ROS-native hardware modules that seamlessly integrate mechatronic systems in industry with the software world, simplifying and accelerating the development of intelligent robotic applications.
Devanthro
Robody Cares is a new ambulatory care service where local nurses visit patients both in person and via remote-operated humanoid robots—“Robodies.” This ensures 24/7 protection and assistance while preserving personal contact within the community. With aging populations and distant families creating a care crisis, Robody Cares offers a modern solution that blends technology with human compassion. Using AI, AR, and 5G, Robodies let operators project their presence anywhere—on Earth or in space—making them viable for future space operations.
Data Machine Intelligence Solutions
DMI enables safe automation in aerospace by bridging the gap between complex AI technology and mission-critical safety requirements. With a library of AI automation models and a powerful compute and simulation infrastructure, we help aerospace companies shorten development cycles and deploy reliable autonomy—from urban drones to satellites and planetary exploration.
