We call this process “CIGS 2.0” and it is protected by 6 patents (3 issued and 3 pending). The intended use is in industrial and utility grade energy generation projects. The process drastically reduces the cost of PV solutions to the end-user and improves the efficiency of the system compared to existing solutions. Solactron will be positioned to become a leading provider in the world-wide multi-trillion-dollar energy-generation market.”][/item][item id=”1520254420686-0-5″ tab_id=”1518605601912-7″ title=”Item”][team_member image_url=”3159″ team_memeber_style=”meta_below” link_element=”none” color=”Accent-Color” name=”Waste For Mobile Energy” description=”Waste4ME is a company that wants to make its social contribution by looking at the waste problem in a rational way. In the current world, the waste is towed over large distances or locally deposited. The valuable materials are waiting to be utilised. For example, at an island extracting energy from non-reusable flows, high removal costs or rising energy prices are avoided. At the same time expensive metals or other minerals can often be recovered from the ashes. The circular economy thus comes a step closer based on healthy economic principles and without denying the economic reality built up over the past century.

Waste4ME has proven technology, WER, available for filling in this opportunity. Waste4ME is attracting investment to let clients take a test drive.

Waste4ME BV is the resulting company of the 7-year investment of Toeps, Quantum Solutions, Wochca and accompanying partners for developing decentralised waste to energy technology. At this moment the product, the WER, is certified, proven in operation and ready to have client’s business cases verified on their own waste. The Dutch Ministry of Defence has for 5 years been supporting and partially financing the development.”][/item][item id=”1520254461462-0-9″ tab_id=”1518605601912-7″ title=”Item”][team_member image_url=”3158″ team_memeber_style=”meta_below” link_element=”none” color=”Accent-Color” name=”OhmniLabs” social=”Facebook,https://facebook.com/ohmnilabs,Linkedin,https://www.linkedin.com/company/ohmnilabs,Twitter,https://twitter.com/ohmnilabs” description=”Founded in 2015 and based in Silicon Valley, CA, OhmniLabs is re-imagining personal robotics.

company that is pioneering low-cost rocket development and launch in Australia
and Singapore.

Gilmour Space began its rocket program in 2015 with a team of just three engineers,
and within 18 months successfully test launched the first privately developed hybrid
rocket using proprietary 3D printed fuel.

With AUD 5 million (USD 3.8 million) in Series A funding led by Sydney-based
Blackbird Ventures, and R&D grants in Singapore, Gilmour Space plans to launch its
first commercial suborbital sounding rocket in 2019, and its orbital vehicle in 2020.

Before starting his career in space, Adam spent two decades at Citigroup, managing
a US$1.2 billion regional sales business dealing in complex financial products for
institutional and corporate clients. An avid space fan with a deep knowledge of
space propulsion systems, his inspiration for change came when Scaled Composites
won the 2004 X-Prize with SpaceShipOne (demonstrating just how affordable
spaceflight could be).

Today, he is leading a growing team of talented engineers on a mission to develop
and deliver truly low-cost access to space.” social=”Facebook,https://www.facebook.com/gilmourspacetech,Twitter,https://twitter.com/GilmourSpace,Linkedin,https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/6583851/admin/updates”][/item][item id=”1520410024943-0-5″ tab_id=”1518605601912-7″ title=”Item”][team_member image_url=”3173″ team_memeber_style=”meta_below” link_element=”none” color=”Accent-Color” name=”Avidbots” description=”Avidbots Corp. vision is to bring robots to everyday life to expand human potential.
