Startups developing virtual reality for businesses, solutions for solid-state batteries, green and clean hydrogen production, and a solution for ‘Blended Psychotherapy’ each win CHF 10,000
Summary
Therefore, they have a clear long-term focus on the automotive industry which benefits greatly from increased battery performance.The venture kick funding will be used to demonstrate their technology in commercially relevant devices (pouch cells). Secondly, they aim to purchase a specific patent report on solid-state batteries.Pyrolysis and other waste-to-energy conversion techniques used currently use non-renewable resources for heat production, emit large amounts of greenhouse gasses, take long hours and mainly produce oils that need several chemical treatment steps for their commercial uses.Reactive Illumination proposes an innovative green way to convert any organic waste (biowaste, tyres etc.) The three co-founders are Dr. Bhawna Nagar working at EPFL as a post-doc on electrode fabrication, device development, and materials synthesis for hydrogen production., Dr. Wanderson Oliveira de Silva, and Dr. Prof. Hubert Girault. Not just this, other end product i.e. the conductive (bio)char has full potential to find their application in the billion-dollar carbon black market.They plan to use the Venture Kick funds for the next 3- 12 months to include a formulation concept, a feasibility study, and the design, development, verification, and validation of the process for conversion of at least 50 kg biomass per day. The patient proactively engages with the treatment between sessions and the therapist gains feedback and data-based report about symptom- and process development serving tailored control and lowering admin burden also in interprofessional exchange.
