Carbon black is a form of elemental carbon that is manufactured by the controlled vapour-phase pyrolysis and partial combustion of hydrocarbons. Several processes have been used to produce carbon black, including the oil-furnace, impingement (channel), lampblack, thermal (decomposition of natural gas) and acetylene (decomposition) processes. Carbon blacks are commonly referred to by the process or the source material from which they are made, e.g. furnace black, lampblack, thermal black, acetylene black and channel black. The different grades from the various processes have certain unique characteristics, but it is now possible to produce reasonable approximations of most of these grades using the oil-furnace process, by which more than 95% of the total output of carbon black is produced.

Health Value Creation is developing two surgical devices, a diagnostic tool and a trocar closure device. The first device helps prevent anastomotic leakages after bowel surgery by predicting the quality of the anastomosis during surgery, thereby reducing post-operative complications and lowering healthcare costs. The second device is a trocar closure device for faster, safer and more secure suturing after laparoscopic surgery, resulting in a reduction of the chances of wound herniation.

Mito Medical is developing an innovative diagnostic device that measures vascularity (blood-vessel formation) in the breast and aims to replace the often harmful X-ray cancer screening examination. This technology enables pain-free breast cancer screening with no adverse health risks in both younger and older women, at an earlier stage than is currently the case.

TripleMed is developing minimally invasive products against aneurysms, without the need for incisions. The first product fills the aneurysm and prevents blood from entering, whilst leaving a channel for the blood to flow through to reach the other arteries. This enables a better and longer-lasting solution to the problem of aortic aneurysms.

Kriya Materials is the innovative developer and manufacturer of various metal oxide nano particles as well as their downstream dispersions and functional coating products thereof. Coatings play an important role in our everyday life, although often not recognized by those who do not master the art. Coatings are a big market and many products fall under this category. Kriya Materials focuses itself on the development and manufacturing of various nano metal oxides which it uses internally for the development and production of very high end coatings. The coatings made by Kriya Materials are applied in a wide range of markets, some examples are the Plasma Panel and LCD industry, from Smartphone to touch panels to glass surfaces.
