Noemon

Noemon is a frontier research lab rethinking how AI learns. We are tackling the root causes behind the biggest constraints in modern AI: training cost, data dependence, brittle long-horizon behavior, and centralized deployment. Our work introduces a new scaling axis, one that can make AI cheaper to train and use, more capable across task, and easier to deploy across environments and devices. Because learning defines system requirements end-to-end, this also changes the hardware landscape. We are building in private and will share results soon.

Acutronic Group

The Acutronic Group has a proud history of building technologies and teams that are crucial to the aerospace, defense, and transportation industries. Acutronic’s Simulation & Test Division is the global market leader in high-performance motion simulation and test equipment. Our rate tables and advanced centrifuges are used to test or calibrate inertial sensors, navigation systems, and stabilized electro-optics. Hardware-In-the-Loop motion simulators replicate the flight motion profiles and engagement scenarios of missiles. Geotechnical centrifuges and their related accessories are designed to study the behavior of structures, soil mechanics, and earthquakes. Our vibration test systems (shaker tables) allow users to carry out environmental tests to ensure the robustness or quality of manufactured products. The Division also develops and refurbishes stabilized or gimbaled-platforms utilized in applications such as tracking mounts, gun turrets, and directed-energy systems. Acutronic’s Aerospace Components Division manufactures specialty components for use on uncrewed aerial vehicles, land defense applications, and missile systems. These products are used on next-generation aerospace programs and include a range of electric power systems, servo-actuators, micro-turbines, and Hybrid-Electric-Propulsion-Systems. We offer standard products and excel at designing highly customized solutions for demanding mission requirements. The Acutronic Group employs approximately 300 employees across sites in Austin, Texas; Baltimore, Maryland; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Switzerland; Germany; France; and India.

????????? is the leading advanced manufacturing fermentation platform for circular bioeconomy merges industrial tech with food tech. Headquartered in Switzerland we license our BioBlocks™ fermentation technology to partners seeking, enabling the production of sustainable bio-based products such as foods and materials at commercial scale. We partner with global agricultural players to turn low-value side-streams into high-value bio-based products, starting with our first industrial mycoprotein production site in Aarberg, Switzerland. Going forward, ????????? will expand beyond food ingredients and scale other bio-based ingredients https://lnkd.in/e-cq5nv7 BioBlocks™ and Libre® are registered trademarks of Planetary SA

Bubble Robotics

Bubble designs and operates fleets of integrated autonomous surface–subsea robotic systems that remain at sea for up to six months, delivering continuous inspection, survey, and underwater monitoring without ever sending vessels or crews to sea. Our systems generate millimeter-resolution data, processed with AI to transform raw observations into actionable insights for infrastructure owners, operators, and public authorities. Compared to traditional offshore methods, Bubble delivers superior results at a fraction of the cost, with faster deployment and dramatically lower operational constraints. By making industry-grade underwater data persistent, affordable, and on-demand, Bubble enables safer infrastructure, healthier ecosystems, and more resilient coastlines across the systems that power and protect life on Earth.
