BioVind's Microbial Detection System is an easy-to-use portable device that can identify up to 18 microbes in a single sample. Using state-of-the-art molecular methods, our system can take you from a prepared sample to results in 30 minutes or less. Our solution has potential applications in industrial, animal and human diagnostics.

Signum Technologies develops cutting-edge computer vision solutions to rapidly detect environmental and physical threats to health and safety. Our products reduce the risk to front-line workers and address a wide range of critical applications from vital sign monitoring to contagion prediction.

DKS develops, manufactures, and sells Persistent Power Sources (PPS). These devices harness the high energy density of beta-emitting isotopes and utilize their continuous and steady emission of energy to generate current that can directly power devices, charge batteries, or work as a complement to other power sources.

GridFlow is developing lithium-sulfur hybrid flow battery technology to support tomorrow’s grid, which will be stabilized with distributed energy storage. We are bringing safe and cost-effective energy storage to the edge of the grid, creating a safer, more sustainable, and resilient tomorrow.

Safire is developing advanced Li-ion battery technologies for government and automotive markets. The company's core technology, SAFe Impact Resistant Electrolyte (SAFIRE™), is the world's only patented and proprietary drop-in additive for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries that prevents fire through an instantaneous liquid-to-solid transformation upon kinetic impact, such as an electric vehicle (EV) crash or ballistic event.

ParaWatt’s vision is to deliver the next efficiency boost to energy systems, enabling the transition to an electrified world. We aim to accomplish this by delivering lower costs, higher efficiency, and higher power density to energy systems like EV chargers, wireless chargers, inverters, data centers, and electric motors.

TurbineOne’s software performs where others can’t: directly on battlefield sensors, without requiring cloud access, custom hardware, or large compute footprints. Designed by veterans and built for austere conditions, its edge-first AI platform is now deployed across the U.S. DoD for missions ranging from drone warfare and base security to targeting operations​.

Wearabledose improves radiotherapy using an innovative electronic polymer detector that accurately detects, directs, and measures radiation to tumors, reducing costs and significantly enhancing treatment safety and efficacy.

Canopy leverages additive manufacturing, robotic automation, and proprietary software to displace traditional ceramic fabrication methods; dramatically cutting lead times and cost. Their vertically integrated facility enables rapid, on-demand production of complex parts, including advanced Thermal Protection Systems (TPS), aluminum nitride cold-plate components, and oxide/non-oxide ceramics for propulsion and opto-mechanical applications
