Cambrios Technologies Corporation specializes in developing and manufacturing advanced electronic materials, particularly electrodes made from silver nanowires. These materials simplify the manufacturing processes for electronic devices while enhancing their performance. The company's flagship product, ClearOhm, consists of silver nanowire coating materials that create transparent conducting layers on various substrates. This technology is applicable to a wide range of products, including touch screens, liquid crystal displays, e-paper, organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), and thin film photovoltaics. Founded in 2002 as Semzyme, Inc., the company rebranded to Cambrios Technologies Corporation in 2004 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with additional offices in Japan and Taiwan. Cambrios aims to leverage its nanostructured materials to improve the efficiency and capabilities of next-generation consumer devices.

ViaCyte, Inc. is a regenerative medicine company based in San Diego, California, that specializes in developing cell replacement therapies for diabetes. The company’s primary product candidates, VC-01 and VC-02, aim to treat type 1 diabetes by implanting pancreatic beta-cell precursors derived from stem cells within an encapsulation device. This innovative approach allows the implanted cells to produce insulin in response to blood glucose levels while minimizing the risk of immune rejection, thereby eliminating the need for immunosuppressants. ViaCyte's goal is to provide a long-term solution that can free both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients from dependence on insulin and reduce associated complications such as hypoglycemia and cardiovascular issues. Founded in 1999, ViaCyte was previously known as Novocell, Inc., and changed its name in 2010. The company also operates an additional facility in Athens, Georgia.
