Very close to the building where the first lithium-ion batteries were developed 40 years ago. Today these lithium and cobalt based batteries are in widespread use, in our phones, laptops, cordless appliances and power tools, and also in electric vehicles. However, it was apparent that in the demanding world of grid energy storage a more robust solution is needed. To meet the demands of the grid, we are improving the performance of supercapacitors so they perform like batteries. This is achieved by using different materials than conventional supercapacitors which allow us to retain a long life, excellent power density and fast charging capability of supercapacitors, but also have the energy density of the best performing batteries. We exclude all rare earth materials in our cells, we do not use any lithium or cobalt, and we do not use anything that can catch fire – excluding all chemical solvents and organic electrolytes. This not only makes our cells safe, because there is nothing in them that can catch fire no matter how fast they are charged, but also means at the end of life they can be recycled.

Grant in 2016
Isobar Compression manufactures compression garmets to treat chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) conditions, for sports recovery and to prevent deep vein thrombosis. It provides improved blood return through graduated, exact pressure, and are fitted exactly to limb shape and size. Isobar Compression uses unique technology in its exact-fit compression socks to significantly reduce the risk of DVT in frequent and long-haul flyers. Precisely-fitted compression socks almost entirely eliminate the risk of DVT. By using a 3D scan of both legs, we produce garments that are stitched to an exact fit - making them more effective and comfortable. Isobar compression was developed by a research team at Manchester University, led by Professor of Surgery Charles McCollum, a leading vascular surgeon. They are vastly more effective than off-the-shelf compression, as without a bespoke fit, the pressure delivered by the garment is essentially unknown. Isobar's technology is unique in that it can deliver a bespoke fit as well as accurate, precise pressure. Companies are turning to Isobar Compression to mitigate against the risk of DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE) for businessmen and women who travel frequently. Isobar garments also deliver for elite and amateur athletes. 57 British Olympic medals were won at the last Olympics by athletes using Isobar for post-exercise recovery - with research proving compression reduces muscle soreness after training or competition.

Grant in 2016
At D•Labs, they call it “the ‘O’ word.” They don’t say it; they rarely allow theirselves to think it. And they certainly wouldn’t say it amongst polite company without excusing theirselves first. You see, at D•Labs, they dislike outsourcing with a passion. Why? Because they believe the only sure way for you – the founder, the visionary, the dreamer – to build great products is to work with people as committed and engaged with the product as you are. It’s critical that they arrive with a “co-founder mindset,” so to speak. But discovering and recruiting development teams is hard. It’s time-consuming. It’s fraught with overpromises and underdelivery. And it’s even harder for early-stage teams facing all the pre-product uncertainty. But now you can relax – because at D•Labs, they’re just the sorts who enjoy these sorts of challenges; it’s where they believe the fun is. So they’ve started building tech teams, tailored just for all you early-stagers out there. A magic sauce of strong getting-stuff-done teams embedded in a pure startup culture, staffed from EU locations with a strong entrepreneurial and technical sophistication and a loyal culture. They offer daily service rates with no pre-conditions. You find the team that fits your vision, and you work with the ones you like. Directly. Because they work with so many startups in the UK, they know what challenges you’re likely to face. So no nagging about changing backlogs, experimenting with funnels and making 10 prototypes at a time. It’s just what they do.
