Founded in 2019, Swisspod Technologies specializes in designing and developing Hyperloop vessels for tube-based transportation systems. The company aims to create energy-efficient, fully-electric pods, harnessing high-quality Swiss engineering to facilitate sustainable and efficient high-speed travel between cities.

Hardt Hyperloop is a company dedicated to developing an innovative transportation system that enables emission-free travel over large distances. Originating from the winning team of the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition, it aims to create a hyperloop network that serves both passengers and freight efficiently. The hyperloop system designed by Hardt Hyperloop focuses on providing a safe, sustainable, and affordable mode of transport, allowing for rapid travel between network cities with minimal waiting times. By prioritizing accessibility and environmental responsibility, Hardt Hyperloop seeks to revolutionize global mobility and enhance connectivity for daily commuters.

Nevomo develops next-generation rail technology that enables hyperloop-inspired transport by combining magnetic levitation, a passive magrail system and autonomous control to upgrade existing railway lines. The magrail concept allows retrofitting conventional rails to support higher speeds—up to 300 kph on standard lines and 415 kph on high-speed corridors—while preserving existing rolling stock. The technology can progress to vacuum-based systems (hyperrail) with potential speeds of 600 kph on normal lines and 1000 kph on high-speed lines, and ultimately to vacuum tube corridors for top speeds around 1200 kph. Capex for retrofitting is estimated at 6-8 million euros per kilometer, substantially lower than new high-speed line builds. Early energy and maintenance advantages arise from reduced mechanical friction and overall system efficiency. Founded in 2017, Nevomo has pursued proofs of concept and demonstrations, and collaborates with partners such as TME Transfer Multisort Electronics and Microsoft, supported by a multinational R&D team and an international advisory board.
