Omixon Biocomputing Kft.

Omixon is a 60-person, revenue-generating, VC-backed transplantation diagnostics company with customers in 25 countries, headquartered in Budapest, Hungary, subsidiaries in Cambrdge, MA and in the Netherlands. Omixon’s mission is to improve transplant outcomes. Omixon was the first to introduce high resolution histocompatibility testing on Illumina next-generation sequencing platform with its NanoTYPE HLA genotyping product. In May 2022, an Omixon customer made history with the first sub-5-hour, high-resolution, emergency histocompatibility testing with transformative potential for sensitised patients on the waiting list. Omixon is seeking $10M investment to aggressively enter the market with NanoTYPE and to develop HoloGRAFT, a proprietary, best-in-class cfDNA assay for post-transplant monitoring, at dramatically lower cost-of-goods than competition, in a CMS-reimbursed, multi-billion-dollar, blue-ocean market.

Annaida Technologies SA

Annaida is a spinoff from EPFL in Lausanne. During his PhD, cofounder and now CTO Marco Grisi developed a groundbreaking non-invasive sensor technology. Realizing its potential, he joined forces with cofounder and now CEO Gora Conley to create the company and bring the technology to real world applications.

​The first core application is in fertility treatment through IVF, where a non-invasive screening tool to identify the most viable embryos is highly sought after.

Collaborations with leading clinics, an expert team and an advisory board including a Nobel Prize are the winning ingredients of Annaida.

Laser Team Medical ltd

Laser Team Medical (LTM) develops medical laser systems using its own laser cavity. The company first developed a laser system that enables treatment for people for whom laser treatment was previously unsuitable. It can treat people with darker skin as well as people who use the laser technology today. The LTM laser is more accurate than current medical lasers, can penetrate deeper, and does not heat the surrounding area, so it does not cause pain. The LTM system can treat scars, rejuvenate skin, be used for surgical applications, and more.

Pacertool AS

Pacertool is addressing a large unmet need for the more than 200'000 heart failure patients in need of pacing every year: optimal patient selection and optimized lead placement. Currently, 30-40% of heart failure patients who get a bi-ventricular pacemaker ("CRT") implanted have limited effect of the therapy. Pacertool is solving this problem with the PaCRTool system: a proprietary platform which helps physicians to select patients and to optimize lead placement including avoiding scar tissue in ischemic patients.

The company has established proof-of-principle data in 45 heart failure patients with more than 2 years follow-up. The data indicate differentiation between responders and non-responders. Pacertool is implementing a 510(k) strategy in the US and is initiating the First-in-Patient clinical trial in Europe from 2024.

Aortyx SL

Aortyx is a pioneer company developing the next generation of vascular implants. With aortic dissection as first indication to demonstrate the power of the platform, the company is developing a family of biomimetic, bioresorbable endovascular patches that are deployed via a specialized aortic catheter. The patches are designed to adhere to the vessel wall, and to promote natural repair of the aorta and biointegration within the native tissue. These features will allow safer surgeries, with lower mortality, secondary effects and reintervention rates and will increase the eligibility of currently unfit patients. Aortyx' pipeline of products uses the patch + catheter system as a platform to locally deliver drugs using advanced nanomaterials, for a combined market of up to 3 billion dollars.

DigiSurge

Digisurge is a French startup developing a robotic platform dedicated to structural heart repair and reconstruction.

This end-to-end solution targets a set of procedures that will replace open-heart or minimally invasive operations, on aortic, pulmonary and mitral valves.

The DigiSurge robotic platform is a cardiologist-centric solution, that aims to provide quicker, safer, repeatable, and cost-effective “beating-heart” procedures, with an unprecedent ergonomics thanks to features like IA based real-time image guided navigation, augmented dexterity, real-time echograph / RMI image fusion, augmented reality.

The first targeted application is the robotization of the transcatheter transfemoral mitral valve annuloplasty which is only available today on open-heart procedure, making only 2,5% patients undergoing surgical treatment. The US market alone represents a potential of 600K patients.

This program has been awarded by an international jury to benefits from a grant that gives Digisurge a 17M€ financing, with the collaboration of a consortium of 8 top-level French Research Laboratories along with a lead hospital in cardiac surgery (HCL).

Epios SA

Epios: Brainwaves unlocked:

Epios is a clinical stage company providing precision care for brain disorders using actionable insights derived from our unique long-term brain neuro-sensing and therapeutics modality. As you can only manage what you can measure we are launching first a minimally invasive 24/7 electroencephalographic recording system for use outside the clinic.
Simply put, we propose a “smart watch” for the brain.

The first use case will be pre-surgical planning and treatment optimization to improve outcomes and cost of care for people living with epilepsy. Our platform technology will then be deployed in other indications (sleep disorders, stroke ...) moving also from neuro-sensing only to real-time intervention and finally therapeutics.

Reactive Robotics GmbH

Reactive Robotics has developed the world’s first AI-driven robotic assistance system for intensive care. Our smart robot for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patient rehabilitation have the potential to reduce cost per ICU patient by over 8k USD via early mobilization therapy. Clinical studies with >1.000 patients show that mobilization therapy in ICU accelerates recovery of ICU patients, who can leave the ICU over 20% (~1,4 days) faster. However, critical staff shortages, aggravated due to COVID-19, have dramatically reduced hospital’s capabilities to deliver therapy effectively. Besides faster recovery, the use of our robot can reduce human resource by up to 3 nurses per therapy.
