Startups in Foodtech
Axiom Cloud
At Axiom Cloud, our mission is to use software and automation to transform how the world’s cooling systems are powered, operated, and maintained, in order to generate significant climate and financial impact.
We provide value to our customers and make cooling systems more sustainable in the following ways:
- By predicting equipment issues and making cooling systems more efficient, we lower maintenance costs and reduce the energy required to achieve the same amount of cooling.
- By adding power flexibility and energy storage to cooling systems, we generate revenue for our customers and enable higher penetrations of intermittent renewables (solar, wind, etc.) onto the grid.
- By identifying and curtailing refrigerant leaks early, we help reduce the amount of high-GWP refrigerants released into the atmosphere.
Axiom’s team of refrigeration experts, data scientists, energy nerds, and software developers solves retail grocery’s biggest energy and maintenance challenges by layering intelligence onto their existing refrigeration systems. Experience with commercial refrigeration systems is at our core, and we plan to leverage this experience across multiple industry categories to make the world’s cooling systems more sustainable.
DotBlocks
Industry, faced with decarbonization objectives for 2030 and beyond, needs accessible and tailored numerical simulation tools to accelerate innovation in the management and design of its processes and products. Current solutions, which are very costly and can only be used by trained experts, are struggling to meet these expectations. DotBlocks aims to meet this need by offering an intuitive, no-code cloud platform, enabling manufacturers to rapidly design their own high-performance, tailor-made simulation tools, with the help of pre-coded components. This approach aims to democratize numerical simulation by making it usable without expertise or training, thus significantly speeding up manufacturers' innovation workflows by making numerical simulation accessible to all the technical teams involved in the process.

As a creator of next-gen interactive experiences for fans’ communities, we place the user at the heart of each of our projects. Our solutions are made by fans for fans!
Uplift360
Uplift360 develops cutting-edge chemical recycling technology to recover and reuse advanced materials, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Focused on automotive, renewable energy and defence industries, we enable a circular economy for high-performance composites and critical materials.
ThiaX
ThiaX uses novel X-ray diffraction (XRD) technology to map strain and crystallinity in polymer and composite parts. These detailed 3D heatmaps help identify failure modes during research and development. The technology is subsequently used for continuous inline inspection during manufacture to identify critical strain or crystallinity values in pivotal component geometries.
TemperChip
TemperChip is a noncontact temperature machining data measurement device installed on cutting tools or machine holders. The device is patented as a solution for the machining of composite materials while implementing continuous control of the developing temperature measurement. It represents the potential to track several different work parameters between the machine and the work material, and to provide a way to monitor tool life and efficiency. TemperChip will be able to communicate with sources like CNC machine controller while implementing Artificial Intelligence features, and the design will support various tool holder systems and materials. The prominent advantages are:
- Online temperature measurement and display of the machined area
- Alert signal indication while reaching selected temperature
- Smart and simple implementation
- Prevents dramatic work/material & lead time losses
Phoenix Carbon
Phoenix Carbon’s technology recycles all composite materials without any material property degradation - ‘Equivalency’. We deliver woven carbon fibre, 50% cheaper with 96% lower CO2 compared to its virgin counterpart. We provide the material in the shape and format our clients are using today: woven roll. Our unique process has enabled us to unlock waste streams which otherwise would be either sent to landfill or significantly degraded. Our proposition is first in class, creating a greenfield opportunity that current recyclers have yet to achieve and perfectly aligns with the manufacturing needs and ESG goals of manufacturers.
Perseus Materials
The design of composites fabrication methods and equipment are constrained by the modes and kinetics of resin cure. Revolutionary new methods require resins with novel curing behavior. Perseus develops a new class of continuous molding with the speed of pultrusion and the adaptability of 3-d printing, enabled by proprietary resins and their unique curing behavior.
NGNT
NGNT combines hybrid polymers and nanodiamonds to deliver extreme protection against temperature, scratches, and corrosion across multiple industrial verticals and applications.
Nandina REM
Nandina REM creates supply chain certainty for critical minerals and materials in advanced manufacturing. Products such as our recovered carbon fibre can match the material performance of virgin materials, at a lower cost, requiring 71% less energy to produce. Our recovered materials are used by manufacturers in products as diverse as aircraft cabin interiors and electric vehicle battery casings.
FOX Composites
A spin-off project of the German Aerospace Center, FOX Composites delivers high-quality lightweight ceramic composite solutions for high-temperature applications towards increased performance, longevity and process efficiency. Their proprietary infusion technology offers serial production capability, for the first-time enabling a volume application of ceramic composites in many industries.
fibclick
At Fibclick, we revolutionize the production of fiber-reinforced lightweight products, making it faster, more efficient, and cost-effective. Using AI-based material simulations and digital twins, our software automates the calculation and design of tools and set-up plans. The current focus is on pultrusion.
