First Imagine! Ventures

Lumenaza GmbH, founded in 2013 and based in Berlin, Germany, operates a software-as-a-service platform that facilitates the buying and selling of renewable electricity. The company emerged from the realization that while many local communities generate green electricity, accessing this energy was often complicated and opaque. Lumenaza's platform employs advanced algorithms to ensure a secure and balanced supply of renewable energy within regional markets. Since launching its software in 2014, Lumenaza has collaborated with municipal utilities, project developers, and energy cooperatives to promote regional electricity products. In 2016, the company enhanced its platform into a comprehensive "utility in a box" solution, enabling it to provide all necessary services for energy management in a modular and automated manner. This innovative approach connects producers and consumers of distributed energy, allowing for efficient monitoring and management of renewable power plants, thereby streamlining operations and reducing costs for its clients.

Moixa Technology develops the Maslow intelligent energy storage solution, enabling homes to store energy and benefit from revenue streams generated by trading energy through GridShare, an SaaS platform that aggregates energy from groups of Maslow energy storage systems. . The company develops smart DC technologies to power DC lighting, computing, electronics from grid-shifted storage or local PV from smart DC hubs, variable DC networks and sockets. The technology and IPR reduces grid peak by shifting DC device load and powering DC devices efficiently without inverters or AC/DC adaptors, together with providing smart control and energy management. The technology aims to address the 1 trillion kwh + lost annually in power conversion, and the significant growing DC demand in homes, offices from ICT, LED lighting and the rise in internet connected devices.

ARDN Technology team is developing a universal platform with a high cargo carrying capacity for a global market. This unmanned VTOL platform features separation of lifting and steering rotors as the fundamental aerodynamic principle. The development of SKYF Platform started in 2014. The debut flight of a full-size prototype took place in the spring of 2016. Our Technical Team is heavily involved in the creation of a new mathematical model and the development and implementation of a unique flight control system that is considerably different from flight control systems applicable to quadcopters and other multirotors. As of 2017, over 30 technical experts are engaged in the development of the platform. We run continuous tests and implement ongoing prototype improvements.

NAFEN™ – Aluminum Oxide Nano fibers have been developed in a pilot manufacturing facility in Tallinn, Estonia since 2011. The product is synthesized by the method of controlled liquid phase oxidation, which ensures a high production rate. The test facility has proven the efficacy of the production process for delivering volumes of high-quality aluminum oxide nano fibers in excess of 0.5 kilograms per hour in a continuous production cycle 24/7, 3 000 kg per year. The production process has been patented, allowing ANF Technology to develop sales channels and research partners without jeopardizing potential market share of the nano fiber market. The production process allows for increases in volume up to 100 times the current production levels, thus eliminating the main roadblock in the nano fiber industry (lack of industrial scale production capacity). NAFEN™ is the revolutionary nanomaterial of the next technological wave for which nanotubes have been preparing the world for over 20 years. Having this industrial technology at hand, numerous NAFEN™- inside solutions will be developed and implemented. NAFEN™ provides a unique combination of properties including controllable diameter of 7 to 40 nm, length of over 150 millimeters, high tensile strength, vast surface area, chemical inertness, stability against radiation, and thermal stability. • fiber diameter is controllable by production parameters, from 7 to 40 nm • individual fiber length up to 150 mm supplied in co-aligned or random structure • bulk density 0.09–3.5 g/cm3 • supplied in dry form or dispersed in water or alcohols
