Joywell

Joywell uses a patented microbial fermentation technique to produce sweet proteins that are remarkably equivalent to those found in exotic fruits and berries. Despite the fact that these proteins have a sweet taste and are 2,000 times sweeter than sugar, they have no effect on blood sugar levels or gut microbiome.

Cyvl

Cyvl is an AI company that provides a lidar sensor that can be mounted to any car in seconds and can then collects condition data on the infrastructure as you drive. The 3D scanning technology captures accurate data on all assets in varying road conditions, it is then processed to give the condition report quickly. This could massively help cities track what needs to be done and prevent road accidents caused by potholes for example.

Cerberus Algae cultivation concept by Bernhard Büttner of HTW Berlin

The ultra-modern vessel is shaped like a catamaran to make the drifting on waters easy. As it glides on the water surface, the connected rig with the harvesting system extracts algae and filters the contents. The collection pods anchored to the seabed nearby then process the contents for the subsequent usage. The various kinds of algae species floating on the surface of the water and underneath it are a great resource for food, medical technologies, biofuels, clothing industry, and 3D prototyping.
