Kuva Systems develops an industrial IoT solution that continuously monitors and quantifies methane and VOC emissions with an infrared imaging system. The technology automatically detects leaks, measures emission levels, and provides operators with annotated video clips, while visualizing events in day or day-night modes and transmitting quantified visuals to the cloud in real time, enabling oil and gas operators to monitor assets more cost-effectively. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Kuva Systems focuses on enabling safer, more efficient emissions surveillance for industrial facilities.

GWA Hygiene GmbH is a German company based in Stralsund, established in 2015, that specializes in the development of hygiene monitoring solutions for healthcare settings. The company manufactures sensors designed to monitor hand hygiene standards among hospital personnel and is expanding its offerings to include surface disinfection monitoring. GWA Hygiene's technology integrates with disinfectant and soap dispensers, equipping them with sensors to capture data on disinfection practices. This data can be displayed on monitors and is accessible via a software application that analyzes disinfection rates across different wards and professional groups. Users have the option to store data on their own servers or utilize GWA Hygiene's secure cloud storage. Additionally, the company's software toolbox aids in logistical tasks related to hygiene management, such as managing dispenser refills and device maintenance.

STIMIT AG is a medtech company based in Nidau, Switzerland, established in 2018. The company specializes in developing innovative therapies and medical devices aimed at patients who have lost their natural breathing function, particularly those on mechanical ventilation. STIMIT's proprietary technology non-invasively activates the body's own diaphragm, which is often weakened in such patients. By strengthening diaphragm function, the company seeks to facilitate the liberation of patients from ventilators, thereby reducing the time spent on ventilation and improving overall patient outcomes. Additionally, STIMIT is working on second-generation therapies that aim to further enhance the inhalation process for patients. Through these advancements, STIMIT is positioned to significantly impact intensive care practices and improve the quality of life for patients with respiratory challenges.
