Digity is a technology startup specializing on the hand with automated processes to equip the human hand with exoskeletons. Because our hands define how we interact with the world. Our mission is therefore to ensure that they are always healthy, protected and productive. Our patents and a digital background technology allow us to adapt our exoskeletons to different areas. Our startup product ARTUS addresses work safety and ergonomics of fingers in manual activities in industry and crafts. The interdisciplinary team from engineering, orthopedic technology and business administration emerged from an EXIST research transfer and wants to build a market leader from Göttingen that offers real solutions for hand-related concerns.

Cultimate Foods creates a game-changing ingredient based on cultivated fat in a sustainable and ethical way.
Their unique solution enriches plant-based meat alternatives with authentic taste, mouthfeel, and texture. They believe that the future of meat is hybrid – a combination of plant-based proteins and their fat alternative product.

Globally, water-borne bacterial infections lead to half a million diarrhoeal-related deaths each year—more than 2,000 deaths every day. This is more than malaria and HIV-related deaths combined. WaterScope seeks to overcome global water inequality by breaking barriers to reliable bacterial testing. The team has developed an innovative testing device that can reliably and automatically identify bacterial presence in water in as little as 18 hours. The testing data is provided in real time and is uploaded to a central dashboard, connecting users in over 165 countries around the world.

We are building the world’s first biotechnological Direct Air Capture (DAC) system with the goal to to capture 1% of the global CO2 emissions by 2035!

Leveraging novel membranes and enzymes significantly reduces the energy consumption by lowering the conventional Direct Air Capture reaction temperature from up to 900°C to room temperature and avoiding active air intake. This enables massive cost savings and a sustainable reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere. 

Using the most modern equipment and S1 lab as well as our makerspace we found the perfect place at the Life Science Factory to develop our biotech hardware solution.

About 50% of all therapies have a protein component, but therapeutic protein development is very expensive and takes 2-3 years. Cinference is a life-science biotech startup that designs therapeutic proteins. Cinference’s mission is to shorten the protein development process to 1-2 months. To do this, the company uses data-efficient algorithms in combination with large AI models trained on millions of protein sequences to perform 99% of the design process digitally and optimize design parameters simultaneously.

Redesigning drug development by continuous real-time & high-content analysis

The development and testing of new drugs through to approval are very cost-intensive. In addition, new regulatory provisions are intended to reduce the number of animal experiments in future. The biotech start-up myotwin uses stem cell-based heart muscle tissue in a specially developed measurement infrastructure. This allows a much earlier and comprehensive insight into the human reaction to an active ingredient. As a result, new active substances can be tested in preclinical trials without animal testing and safety in clinical trials can be increased. myotwin also uses its extensive data to create a digital twin of the human heart muscle in order to offer services in the field of predictive drug development in the future.

Pioneering novel RNA-based therapeutics

At Avocet Bio, our mission is clear: we want to break new ground by using our platform technology of RNA modulation as key therapeutic approach for a variety of diseases.

As a biotech startup, we address some of the most pressing global health challenges, including respiratory viral infections, while expanding the potential of RNA modulation to other areas of medicine.

Our long-term goal is to build a diverse portfolio of RNA-based therapeutics that address existing treatment gaps and offer new, more effective solutions for patients.

brainQr makes disordered proteins druggable

brainQr Therapeutics is developing next-generation therapies for major human diseases by targeting disordered proteins, a vast and previously largely undruggable class of biomolecules. Our mission is to harness cutting-edge scientific innovation to pioneer novel treatment strategies that address urgent unmet medical needs.
