Dab.bio is unlocking cost effective biomanufacturing and enabling the transition from fossil based products to biorenewables. With the FAST technology bioreactor systems can move to continues fermentation, reaching higher yield at lower cost. This platform technology enables the business case for industrial production at competitive prices while lowering CO2 emissions. It holds the potential to replace fossil derived compounds in multiple markets, from flavours and fragrances to bulk chemicals.

At PHYSEE we've taken up the challenge of the energy transition and developed a solution that reduces energy consumption of buildings (SENSE). Harness the power of the sun by balancing indoor temperature and light intensity by prioritising natural warmth and light over artificial sources. By measuring actual solar irradiance and monitoring indoor climate SENSE can very accurately control sun blinds to create the perfect indoor climate and reduce energy consumption with up to 30%.

Fotoniq brings to market the PAR+ product, that makes glass greenhouses more profitable, efficient, and sustainable. PAR+ is a luminescent spray coating for existing and new glass greenhouses. The coating converts unused UV light into beneficial PAR light, while making the incoming sunlight diffuse without PAR losses. Its light enhancing properties add value in all seasons, increasing crop yield with at least 8% annually.
