Xzero

Grant in 2018
Xzero is a Swedish company that has spent 20 years in R&D for a new technology for process water in the micro- and nanoelectronics industries.

The most recent challenge has been to remove nanoparticles in order to make sure these are not spread in the environment and not enter the Ultrapure Water used in cleaning of the nanoelectronics. Third party tests done by The Royal Institute of Technology and Swedish Environmental Research Institute (Sweden), Clarkson University (US), Manta Inc(US) and Anton Paar (Austria) have confirmed that Xzero technology is more efficient than existing technologies in removing nanoparticles from water. In January 2015, Xzero started to industrialize the technology in co-operation with researchers at the Royal Institute of technology in Stockholm, Sweden and at the leading European organization for microelectronics development – imec in Leuven, Belgium. Testing of the first full scale prototype of the industrialized equipment commenced in August 2016 and final industrialized equipment is slotted to be delivered to imec during the first half of 2019. In order to complement the researchers already working on the project, Xzero is recruiting experienced and professional engineers for the industrialization work and experienced sales people for tha marketing. In the commercialization phaseXzero will continue working with imec. Imec has offices in Belgium, the Netherlands, Taiwan, USA, China, India and Japan and a staff of about 2,400 people including several hundred of industrial residents from leading international nanoelectronics companies.

BRI.Tech GMBH

Grant in 2017
BRI.Tech is breaking new ground in orthopedic and trauma surgery by making a second surgical intervention unnecessary with biodegradable magnesium. The main idea behind BRI.Tech is all about the treatment of broken bones in children. In dealing with fractures, the use of a stabilizing implant is often unavoidable – and then, after a period of approximately six weeks, when bone healing is in a final state, a second operation is necessary to remove the implant from the growing skeleton. This, obviously, always constitutes a risk and might require another unpleasant hospital stay. Thus, developing a stable implant that dissolves naturally as soon as the bone is able to take over the load again is a major step towards avoiding pain and discomfort. BRI.Tech’s intention is to avoid surgical interventions for implant removal, which helps to reduce costs for the European healthcare system. BRI.Screw is the result of eight years of preclinical research, combined with state-of-the-art materials. BRI.Screw is there to stabilize a fractured bone as long as it is needed in order to support it. Unlike conventional implants, its material dissolves naturally and is excreted by the body as soon as the bone is fully functional again. BRI.Tech was founded in 2016 and is a start-up company located in Graz, Austria.
