The Innovation Fund

Daphne Technology SA is a climate technology company based in Ecublens, Switzerland, founded in 2017. The company specializes in catalyst-free, nano-technology solutions designed to help the petrochemical, power, and transportation industries significantly reduce air emissions in accordance with international and national regulations. Its patented technology effectively breaks down toxic pollutants, converting them into non-hazardous elements or valuable by-products. This miniaturized solution is particularly well-suited for marine vessels and offers a cost-effective alternative to existing technologies by lowering both capital and operational costs without necessitating a switch in fuel sources. As a result, Daphne Technology addresses environmental challenges by enabling a cleaner and more sustainable approach to emissions management across various sectors.

VOCSense is a technology company focused on sensing solutions for environmental monitoring. Originating as a spin-off, it is developing EnviCam, an environmental camera that makes visible the chemical and biochemical molecules surrounding us, and has created CMOSEnvi, a manufacturing process compatible with standard CMOS chips. The company manufactures microelectronic gas sensors and integrates nanotech-based sensing materials to convert raw electrical signals into accurate concentration data using proprietary AI algorithms. Its sensors and analytics serve agriculture, food, chemical, wastewater, and pharmaceutical industries, and support monitoring and control of industrial emissions.
