Special Mentions:
1)?MCVE Technologie, France:?Christian Weisse
They have developed smart composites with integrated sensors. With this functionality, it is possible to include functionalities on the glass fiber reinforced polymer surface.
2)?SURE?Mobility, The Netherlands:?Patrick De Wit?and?Francis Olajide
SURE (Smart, Utility, Rental, E-mobility) has designed and created the safest and fasted-charging E-bike on the market. They have utilized a patented revolutionary battery technology called an hybrid super capacitor battery and adapted it for use in E-bikes. The batteries have an added element of safety for mitigating risk of overheating and subsequent fires.
3)?Aeronautical Service Srl, Italy: Marescotti Ruspoli
AS Research has developed and patented a pre-ceramic composite, reinforced with new or recycled carbon fiber that has a low thermal conductivity and flame resistance up to 2500°C. They have also developed an industrial cycle under hot press which lowers the cycle for a ceramic composite from tens of hours (autoclave + high temperature post cure) to minutes.
4)?FibreCoat GmbH, Germany:?Joris Kemperman
FibreCoat develops and markets high-performance fibre materials. The aluminum basalt fiber "AluCoat" is the first market-ready product. Unlike currently used conductive polymer yarns, AluCoat is thermally and electrically conductive as well as temperature resistant up to 600°C. Compared to pure aluminum fibers, AluCoat can be produced at one-tenth the cost. As a result, the material has the potential to become the much-needed, affordable shielding material for the electromagnetic shielding of electric cars and 5G devices of the future.
LIMBER’s technology enables the rapid and scalable production of affordable, personalized prosthetic devices. Their mission is to solve the worldwide prosthetic accessibility crisis to improve quality of life for the tens of millions of amputees in need. They have developed a fully integrated digital workflow of 3D scanning, design, and printing technology to create the UniLeg, a below-knee prosthetic limb that solves the issues of cost and access, while achieving comfort and functionality.
