NAFEN – ANF Technology
ANF Technology is a developer and producer of a unique nanomaterial - NAFEN™, a pure alumina nanofiber for advanced materials performance. The company was established in 2011 with the ambition to take the discovery of a theoretical product to an industrially viable value-added material. NAFEN™ is an innovative material that can be applied to a broad range of industries (aerospace, automotive, energy, civil engineering). The method of NAFEN™ industrial synthesis is a patent-protected intellectual property. For the moment several applications of NAFEN™-modified materials have been successfully developed and tested which resulted in a confirmed 20-300% improvements in mechanical/physical properties of end products such as reinforced polymers and composites. Research and joint development partnership were always at the core of the company’s activities - from exploring the new material to the commercialization of NAFEN™. Today, the pilot-facility located in Tallinn (Estonia) is able to test, modify and produce the customized solutions on the basis of NAFEN™. The company’s main objective is to set-up a solid footprint within the European and Worldwide advanced materials market.

Sol Voltaics
With PERC modules the PV industry has a technology roadmap to 22% efficiency. Sol Voltaics, with its tandem technology, will provide the next generation of modules bringing efficiencies to 26% and beyond.
GaAs has always been the pinnacle PV material as it pertains to both efficiency and stability. This is the reason it has been used for years in satellites and concentrator PV. However, traditional GaAs’ solar cell costs have prevented it from being used in mainstream applications. Through the use of Sol Voltaic’s low cost GaAs NW production methodology (Aerotaxy™) and the benefits of NW photonic affects, Sol can bring this most desirable material to the terrestrial market.
Via the well-known and well-established technology of bandgap engineering, Sol’s PV film when placed in front of Si or CIGS cells in a module, will boost module efficiency by over 40%. Used alone, Sol’s PV GaAs film will better leading-edge efficiency modules at cost/Wp equivalent to low cost, low efficiency PV products.
The world record GaAs on Si tandem cells is 32.8% efficiency. Sol Voltaics’ mission is to bring these types of efficiencies to the PV industry at mainstream costs.
Open Mineral
Open Mineral is a cloud-based exchange that connects buyers and sellers to trade physical commodities directly, efficiently, and transparently. With powerful analytical tools, Open Mineral streamlines negotiation and execution to increase efficiency and profitability for the metal concentrate industry.
Convion
Convion is a developer of large fuel cell systems for distributed power generation and a world leader in fuel cell system technologies. We offer a solution for ultra-clean and efficient power generation in small scale by fuel cells. Solid oxide fuel cell technology at the heart of Convion systems provides the highest efficiency of conversion from fuel to electricity, and the continuously operating, modular power generators can flexibly use natural gas or biogas as a fuel.
Modular, autonomous co-generation systems of Convion are building blocks of smart, diverse and resilient energy systems as power generation can be brought to the point of consumption. Integrated on-site power generation brings together the benefits of locality to commercial and industrial applications by providing secured supply of energy alongside of the utility grid without local emissions or transmission losses.
Convion was founded in 2012 by an experienced team continuing work initiated by Wärtsilä Corporation. Convion has started demonstrating its products internationally and is committed to first commercial deliveries in 2019.
Cogito
Cogito Instruments gives intelligence to machines.
We give machines the ability to learn and analyse data locally, in real-time, therefore enabling de-centralized intelligence, close to the sensors.
Unlike other Machine Learning solutions, which require training In the Cloud, we do everything at the edge. Our technology delivers lower latency, "on-the-job" real-time training, lower power consumption and lower cost. And, because data stays local, we offer unrivalled privacy and security. Our solution, based on a mix of proprietary hardware and software, is easy to use by domain experts who are not IT gurus.
Our first-generation products are already on the market, targeting industrial applications. Major industry leaders are integrating our products in their machines.
We are a team of experienced Semiconductors and Consumer Electronics executives with a proven track record in both large and small companies. We know how to bring innovations to market, scale businesses and deliver value to our shareholders.
We are planning a funding round before year end to develop our next-generation technology which will reinforce our position in Industrial markets and open several new high value markets.
