Meat production causes around 57% of all food-related greenhouse gas emissions, placing massive pressure on climate, biodiversity, and natural resources. At the same time, many plant-based meat alternatives fail to meet consumer expectations for taste, texture, health, and transparency. They are highly processed, rely on long ingredient lists, and rarely deliver the sensory experience people associate with real meat. This creates a major market gap for healthy, natural, and truly sustainable protein options. We close this gap with an innovative technology that enriches mushrooms with proteins, creating nutrient-dense, juicy, and muscle-fiber-like meat alternatives. Using natural flavoring ingredients, we develop products with authentic taste, high nutritional value, fiber, and vitamins—without artificial additives or heavily processed textured proteins. Our first product, a mushroom-based steak, is currently in the pre-MVP stage, while additional alternatives like chicken, burgers, fish, and snacks are under validation. Our go-to-market strategy begins with gastronomy—restaurants, and professional kitchens—and will scale into retail and direct-to-consumer channels to build strong brand recognition and revenue growth. We deliver the next generation of sustainable protein: natural, healthy, and genuinely delicious.

The 2n8life GmbH develops a user-friendly system for measuring nocturnal erections including an app for visualizing the results. A textile cuff is worn overnight by the man. It measures erections and sends them via Bluetooth to the smartphone. In the app, the user sees his results in the context of the comparison group. The main applications are differential diagnostics for erectile dysfunction (organic or psychological causes) and use as a digital biomarker for cardiovascular diseases.

Airgonomics is an AI-based solution for analyzing physical strain at industrial workplaces. Using camera-based motion capture, we identify ergonomic risks such as repetitive movements, poor posture, and high physical strain in real working environments. This helps companies in manufacturing and logistics reduce musculoskeletal disorders, improve workplaces strategically, and implement ergonomics in a scalable, data-driven, and practical manner. Our approach creates greater transparency around actual strain situations in everyday work and enables improvements to be made where they have the greatest impact on health, work ability, and workplace quality.
