ADN Group
ADN develops and designs a technology that combines eco-design with dismantling processes for the composite materials industry, with a particular focus on the outdoor sports sector.
Our goal is to become a leading brand, recognized for excellence in eco-design within the outdoor sports industry, and for offering innovative recycling solutions for the composite materials sector.
We aim to provide turnkey environmental solutions for brands looking to improve their sustainability efforts. Additionally, we want to enable recycling industry players to equip themselves with high-performance dismantling machines that will address the recurring challenges of composite recycling and diversify their activities, offering them a significant growth opportunity.
Tree Composites
Tree Composites aims to accelerate the energy transition through the innovative use of composite materials for joints in offshore wind foundations. As offshore wind parks move into deeper waters with larger turbines, traditional steel welding methods fall short. Our patented composite joint technology replaces welded steel connections, offering over 5,000 times longer lifetimes, reducing steel use by 50%, cutting CO2 emissions by 35%, and doubling production efficiency. After an extensive testing campaign with well-known partners, we are preparing for scale-up.
Strong by Form
Strong by Form is a pioneering composite company shaping the future of wood. Drawing inspiration from nature’s optimization processes, we’ve developed Woodflow, an advanced timber composite technology that replaces concrete, steel, and aluminum at a fraction of their weight and environmental impact. As the only biocomposite capable of scaling to millions of square meters for construction while meeting the weight-to-strength demands of automotive applications, we are driving a sustainable future in collaboration with industry leaders like BMW, VINCI, and Dassault Systèmes.
MCVE Technologie
MCVE manufactures multifunctional fabrics for embedding in composite materials. Our EOPROM® formulation creates electrical Copper circuits and electronic functions for plastic and composite materials. The EopromFlex® process uses screen printing deposition and Copper plating baths on flexible fabrics made of glass or bio-sourced organosheet. We use Copper, a familiar and strong raw material for electronics, ensuring robust connections between printed functions and electronics due to its solderability. Our technology is designed for mass production, reducing industrial costs for embedded heaters, sensors, wiring and antenna applications.
INCAPTEK
At INCAPTEK, we offer a portfolio of technologies to produce advanced high-performance materials targeted towards a variety of specialty applications, from automotive, construction and aerospace to medtech. Our disruptive technologies push the boundaries of what is technologically feasible, providing an unmatched performance for highly demanding applications. We focus on developing tomorrow’s materials with unique properties to help you get one step ahead of the competition.
Flux Polymers
Flux Polymers simplifies plastic surface functionalization with its patented UV-activated polymer coating. This scalable, energy-efficient process forms strong covalent bonds in seconds, requiring no pre-treatment, heating, or hazardous chemicals. The technology enables the introduction of functionalities such as improved adhesion and anti-bacterial properties, supporting applications in food packaging and household appliances while promoting recyclability and sustainability.
FiberJoints
FiberJoints is rethinking bolted joints, addressing the limitations of current technology—comparable to a buttonhole without stitching: functional but lacking proper reinforcement for optimal performance.
Our mission is to provide strong, weight-efficient, and reliable bolted joint solutions for the fiber composite industry. Our advanced hole reinforcement technology features a patch-type insert comprising three key components: an inner metal ring, a fiber ring, and a braided sleeve. These elements work together to effectively redistribute concentrated forces around the hole, enabling efficient load transfer to the surrounding composite laminate.
Elven Technologies
Elven builds fireproof enclosures for lithium battery transport and storage, as well as EVs. Our proprietary composite is the only affordable, lightweight and flexible material in the world that can fully withstand li-battery fire and heat, providing 100% shielding and protection, saving lives and property.
CarboMat
CarboMat, through its patent-pending multi-step technology, manufactures low-cost sustainable carbon fibers from a low-value waste by-product of petroleum refining industry for advanced lightweight composite applications in automotive, sports, energy storage, wind, aerospace, and marine industries.
Through its technology, CarboMat reduces the production cost of carbon fibers by 60% and the associated GHG emissions by 50%, compared to PAN-based incumbents.
Commercial deployment of CarboMat's technology by 2050 has the potential to mitigate over 0.5–1 gigaton of GHG emissions annually, thus accelerating progress towards a net-zero future and revolutionizing lightweight composite applications with greater affordability and sustainability.
CAEROSTRIS
Born out of a collaboration between Laurent Destouches and Etienne Flesch, the idea behind CAEROSTRIS is that it is now time to harness inventiveness rather than resistance, creating a new culture of responsibility through innovation.
So, CAEROSTRIS aspires to make composite materials a vehicle for progress and for success in the sustainable building market.
The time has come to evolve and commit in order to reinvent ourselves and build a desirable future for coming generations.
Auzi
Auzi's journey began with a simple but powerful question: Why can't hearing aids be as elegant and fashionable as any piece of jewellery?
NewMoo
NewMoo formulates its alternative, animal-free cheese by expressing casein proteins in plant seeds that grow through traditional field agriculture, according to the company. The company’s technology eliminates the need for bioreactor machinery, making its process scalable for simple implementation, according to the company.
