We are solving the problem of recycling composite materials used to build boats, wind turbine blades, etc. They are not recyclable, so they are land filled or incinerated. We designed a sustainable solution to recover the glass fibres, and with the EPFL we created a post treatment so we can reuse them to make new composites, closing the loop.

Pablo Garcia-Amorena, Co-Founder and CEO
3D printing for surgical planning has started to disrupt bone surgery by reducing surgery time, costs and risks. However, it is not yet widely adopted for clinical routine because it is complex, rigid and costly. As 3D printers become affordable and clinically regulated, there is a need for a simple solution processing medical images for downstream printing. We provide a software solution that allows clinicians to directly 3D print their model of interest from imaging scans, with no technical training and no additional learning curve. We greatly simplify the 3D printing process and integrate it in the hospital, with easier-to-adopt workflows than existing solutions. Our unique product serves as a bridge between existing medical imaging modalities and 3D printers.

Oniri is an app helping people to remember, understand, and take control of their dreams. Through lucid dreams, we can help people to do everything they want in their dreams; this is an increasingly popular subject worldwide, with many proven benefits on health and well-being, and we believe that it will soon be even more popular than meditation. In addition, the process of dream analysis is increasingly used in therapies, as a way to understand oneself. We aim at making this process available to everyone.

SwissInspect provides Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for digital twinning of infrastructure and buildings for various B2B sectors. Our clients can upload their image data on our online digital twin platform and we analyze them to create a geometric digital twin of the asset, detect various structural defects and create numerical physics-based models to predict the physical state of the asset, which serves as information for scenario-based maintenance intervention planning. More importantly, because we encode all information within a digital twin, the time history of an asset’s health can be retrieved to accurately forecast the asset’s remaining lifetime.
