Darmiyan, Inc.

Darmiyan is a trailblazing biotechnology company that's transforming the field of neurological health by leveraging cutting-edge technology. Incorporated in 2016, the company is focused on pioneering diagnostic solutions for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases, primarily Alzheimer's. Darmiyan's core, novel technology is fully non-invasive and highly-accurate with prognostics information that guides personalized, data-driven disease management. It's scalable and can become widely available around the world.
​
The company's flagship product, BrainSee, revolutionizes the way we approach the screening, monitoring, and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease at the early Mild Cognitive Impairment stage. It uses proprietary algorithms to analyze standard brain MRI scans and identify subtle changes associated with the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases, well before dementia symptoms manifest. The product has earned FDA's Breakthrough Device designation and is on track for approval.

Under the leadership of Dr. Padideh Kamali-Zare, Darmiyan has built a robust intellectual portfolio and collaborated with high-impact academic institutions as well as strategic partners and investors including Eisai and SOMPO. These relationships have collectively enabled the company to execute rigorous technology and product validations.

Darmiyan's team, composed of expert neuroscientists, physicians, and AI specialists, is dedicated to the mission of transforming brain health. They strive to provide patients, caregivers, and physicians with innovative tools that significantly improve the management and prognosis of neurodegenerative diseases.

Darmiyan stands at the forefront of a new era in brain health, marked by early detection and improved patient outcomes. Their pioneering solutions underscore their commitment to tackling some of the world's most pressing health challenges.

AOT AG

AOT AG was founded with the vision to revolutionize orthopedic surgery. Conventional orthopedic saws, drills and burrs were to be replaced by an autonomous robotic platform with a 7-axis robotic arm. CARLO stands for "Cold Ablation Robotic Laser Osteoplasty". CARLO has the following patient benefits:
1.) contact-free (cold laser) orthopedic / neuro surgery
2.) ultra precise (navigation, KUKA robotic arm, laser optics) bone “sculping”
3.) 3D “implant bed” sculping (“reverse 3D printing” allowing for more precise placement of existing implants (e.g. unicondylar knees) and novel types of implant anchorage and shapes (lower profile implants, cementless anchorage etc..)
4.) better bone healing (tissue-sparing cutting of bone with cold laser) during orthopedic surgery.

GNOMX Corp.

GNOMX Corp. has developed a next-generation epigenetic / AI host-based platform for multiple disease diagnosis. This groundbreaking patent-pending technology was developed by collaborating researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Princeton University, Yale School of Medicine, and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine under a $46 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The newly developed methods provide significant advantages in accuracy, specificity, and versatility compared to existing approaches, leading to enhanced patient care and reduced treatment costs.

The company’s technology includes artificial intelligence and bioinformatic tools that identify coincident changes in multiple epigenetic data types in blood. This allows GNOMX to develop tests for current or past infections, specific pathogens, antibiotic sensitivity, time of infection, prognosis or post-infectious conditions. New tests can be quickly developed to provide results at a central laboratory or at point-of-care.  

GNOMX will initially focus on Infectious disease diagnostics and is developing differentiated epigenetic diagnostic tests for post-COVID immune dysregulation (Long Covid), acute Lyme disease, and rapid sepsis, indications where no reliable tests currently exist.

In June 2023, GNOMX executed an option with Mount Sinai for a worldwide license to this disruptive technology which provides high-specificity, low cross-reactivity, and compatibility with rapid diagnostic assays that are highly advantageous compared to any existing diagnostic or prognostic technology.

GNOMX is currently raising its first institutional financing of $15 million which will fund the company’s operations for three years. GNOMX is pursuing both equity (venture capital and strategic) and non-dilutive (US government grants and contracts) financing.

Yolia Health

Yolia Health’s True Vision Treatment (TVT) is a safe, non-invasive, and repeatable treatment for refractive vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, and even presbyopia. TVT is self-administered by the patient in his or her own home. It employs a combination of customized gas-permeable contact lenses and specially formulated eye drops – which, when used together, safely modify the sphericity of the patient’s cornea.

After only three days of treatment with TVT, patients are freed from using reading glasses and contact lenses for up to 12 months. Patients can “refresh” or update their prescriptions at each subsequent retreatment to ensure they enjoy the best vision possible. One of TVT’s primary advantages over competitors, aside from correcting presbyopia non-invasively, is the ability to correct vision in both eyes without compromising distance vision or depth perception. On the contrary, Yolia's TVT treatment improves near and distance vision, a unique feature no other alternative can provide.

​Diamante Società Benefit Srl

Diamante Società Benefit srl is a biotech company driven to improve and consolidate the competitiveness and scientific leadership of the European bioindustry in the field of Plant Molecular Farming for autoimmune applications. The current company’s mission is the development of cutting-edge treatment focusing on a solution for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
There is no known cure or preventive measure for this chronic condition; and current treatment primarily revolves around immunosuppression, causing several side effects. The result is a debilitating condition both from a physical and psychological perspective.
Diamante has developed the first worldwide therapy that involves a restoration of the immune system’s ability to recognize a given autoantigen as its own and thus, block its immunological attack.
We have already done two successful PoC on animal models showing complete remission of the disease and we are now moving forward to lead phase 1 clinical studies by the beginning of 2025.

The RA market is a significant and rapidly growing segment in the pharmaceutical industry, driven by the increasing prevalence of the disease worldwide. RA affects approximately 86 million people globally, with an estimated incidence of 20-50 cases per 100,000 population and a prevalence of 1% of the world population. Each year, 1.6-4 million new RA patients are diagnosed, and this number is predicted to double by 2030 due to factors like an aging population, increased awareness of RA, and advancements in medical technology.
We estimated our Total Addressable Market (TAM) based on the global RA market, which is projected to reach €28 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.0%.

Diamante's business model is built upon a revenue license approach, strategically entering licensing agreements with pharmaceutical companies upon achieving specific stages of development.
