#LIFTTPortfolio | ?? Siamo felici di condividere la bellissima intervista di StartupItalia ad Alessandro Taini, in cui si racconta la nascita della nostra #portfoliostartup T1 Solutions | Società Benefit. ?? T1 Solutions nasce da un’idea innovativa e da un incontro fortunato. Giuseppe Peroni, ex chimico, aveva progettato anni fa una #spugna in grado di assorbire sostanze inquinanti, ma il progetto era rimasto incompiuto. Nel 2014, Alessandro Taini ha raccolto questa intuizione trasformandola in #FoamFlex, una spugna che respinge l'acqua e assorbe fino a 25 volte il proprio peso in oli e idrocarburi. ?Peroni voleva lasciare qualcosa per contribuire a salvare il mondo. è un progetto nato grazie ad un'amicizia? racconta Alessandro. ?? Oggi, la startup #cleantech offre i suoi #WaterCleaningKit per affrontare #emergenzeambientali in decine di porti italiani e recentemente ha collaborato con Q8 al progetto Q8 Sailing for Change. Grazie StartupItalia per l'approfondimento! #Innovation #Sustainability #FoamFlex #CleanWater #SaveThePlanet Alessandro Di Stefano Francesco Lo Cascio Guido Panizza

#NewInvestment | X-Therma Inc. is pioneering breakthrough cold chain technology via a convergent biopreservation platform, to advance regenerative medicine and make available safe and on-demand organs, engineered tissues, cell and gene therapies, vaccines, and beyond to patients in need. Let's dive deeper into our last investment.

#NewInvestment ?? | We are excited to announce our latest investment in X-Therma Inc., a pioneering #biotechnology company developing a breakthrough #biopreservation platform for #regenerative medicine and #organtransplantation. Using their innovative XT-ViVo? solution and TimeSeal? device, X-Therma successfully transported pig kidneys across the Atlantic five times, preserving them at subzero temperatures for up to #72 hours—without the use of ice. This world-first achievement has the potential to transform organ transplantation by dramatically extending preservation times and enabling long-distance transport, helping to bridge the organ supply-demand gap and improve transplant outcomes. By eliminating the limitations of ice-based preservation, this technology could reduce emergency surgeries, enhance genetic matching, and save countless lives. This milestone reflects more than two decades of dedication by a global team of nearly 100 individuals who have positioned X-Therma at the cutting edge of #medicalinnovation. ??
