Stellar Alpina is a Zurich-based space propulsion startup developing rotating detonation rocket engines for mobility after launch.

Climeworks offers solutions for removing carbon dioxide using direct air capture technology, storing it long-term. They provide services for businesses looking to incorporate CO₂ removal into their net-zero plans, offering advisory-led portfolios and self-service purchases. The company builds modular DAC plants like Orca and Mammoth in Iceland to capture CO₂ from the air and store it underground through mineralization with partners like Carbfix. Climeworks also adheres to strict monitoring and verification standards and is the first DAC provider certified under third-party frameworks like the Puro Standard.

We, at DePoly, are revolutionizing the treatment of plastic waste to create a greener and cleaner Earth for future generations. Our advanced recycling process transforms plastics into high-quality materials while maintaining their integrity. This process is efficient and can handle difficult streams of PET plastic and textiles, including mixed, dirty waste that is typically seen as non-recyclable. Our groundbreaking green technology is changing the way plastics are used, aiming for a complete shift towards a circular and sustainable plastic economy rather than small improvements.

novoMOF is a Swiss tech company that is leading the way in creating affordable, high-performance, and environmentally friendly MOFs for carbon capture in various industries. Founded as a spin-off from the Paul Scherrer Institute, novoMOF is dedicated to developing and scaling their own CO₂-capture materials to enable cost-effective capture solutions. Their goal is to facilitate the capture of six million tons of CO₂ annually by 2030, working closely with technology partners to create efficient capture systems. Supported by experts in the field, including Professor Omar M. Yaghi, novoMOF is committed to making sustainable decarbonisation a reality. More information can be found on their website at www.novomof.com.

The acronym UNISERS stands for "Universal Surface-Enhanced-Raman-Spectroscopy" and is based on nanotechnology. The only surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy technique now in use that can identify all non-volatile contaminants regardless of their chemical characteristics is their unique technology. As a result, they can analyse various contaminants in liquids using the same test. Their technology is based on Raman scanning and sample preparation. The non-chemical sample preparation increases the Raman signal of contaminants by a factor of 100,000 and enables the detection of trace impurities.

Sicona develops next generation battery technology used in the anodes (negative electrodes) of lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries that enable electric-mobility and storage of renewable energy. Sicona is commercialising an innovative silicon-composite battery anode technology, developed and perfected over the last ten years at the Australian Institute for Innovative Materials (AIIM). Sicona’s silicon-composite anode technology delivers up to 233% higher capacity than conventional graphite anodes and its anode materials can deliver 50% to 75% higher cell energy density than current Li-ion batteries.

Vietnam Airlines is a full-service airline and the flag carrier of Vietnam. The company operates passenger, cargo, and maintenance services across domestic and international routes. Additionally, it offers a frequent flyer program (Lotusmiles) and maintains alliances with carriers via codeshare agreements.

The New-Space sector is expanding as the private sector's involvement in the space industry grows. This development coincides with a resurgence in demand for inexpensive chemical in-space propulsion systems. In order to address the issue of e-scooters in space, we want to offer a method for satellites to travel the last mile to their final orbit that is both affordable and quick. In 2022, we will complete a fully functional prototype of an entirely new thruster system, which will fill a significant gap in today’s satellite market and greatly enhance the capabilities of future space missions

The developer Syzygy Plasmonics has created a photocatalytic reactor specifically made for fuel cell vehicles and small-scale industries. This reactor is light-powered and operates at a significantly lower temperature compared to traditional chemical reactors, resulting in reduced maintenance expenses. Additionally, it has the capability to instantly start or stop production, making it possible for fuel cell vehicle companies to generate low-cost hydrogen gas directly at customer sites.

Based in New Zealand and the Netherlands, Dawn Aerospace is building same-day reusable launch vehicles and non-toxic satellite propulsion systems. Same-day Reusable Launch Vehicles that do not require specialised space-launch infrastructure, integrate with everyday aircraft in nearby airspace and launch as often and routinely as commercial aviation. Non-toxic high performance propulsion systems for satellites of all sizes. For small satellites, they simplify systems and replace the poisonous and highly-regulated fuel, hydrazine. For CubeSats, they increase capabilities by supplying 1,000x higher performance than electric-based propulsion systems. By building these technologies in tandem, Dawn is creating the end-to-end architecture required for delivering, positioning and returning spacecraft in a highly scalable and environmentally conscious way.

Delta Gold Technologies is creating intellectual property ("IP") for the quantum computing sector under an exclusive license.

Momentus is an American company in the commercial space industry that aims to provide various in-space infrastructure services, such as transportation, hosted payloads, and services in orbit. The company is working on developing in-space transfer and service vehicles powered by an innovative water plasma-based propulsion system in order to enable new capabilities in space operations.
