• LUCAI BIO — LUCAI designs custom AI algorithms to accelerate biotech R&D. We partner with research teams to build tailored computational solutions — from target identification to lead optimization — turning complex biological data into actionable scientific decisions.Every biotech program has its own data, its own constraints, and its own scientificquestions. Off-the-shelf AI rarely fits. LUCAI works directly with research and discovery teams to design algorithms built around their specific workflows, integrating seamlessly with existing pipelines.We currently collaborate with 35+ biotech and pharma partners across discovery, preclinical, and translational programs, operating at the convergence of AI and biology.
• ALKEMIO — ALKEMIO is a developer of a bio-magnetic technology intended to transform electronic waste into quality battery-grade metals.
• Strong by Form — Strong by Form bonds nature and technology to build a sustainable future. Our Woodflow technology allows to produce high-performance lightweight biocomposites that are strong enough to become an alternative to materials such as aluminum or fiber reinforced plastics on vehicles and steel and concrete used on buildings. Emulating trees’ structuralefficiency, we’ve developed a design-to fabrication technology that combines the latest optimization tools and AI with a proprietary additive manufacturing process. This allows us to create timberbased composites capable of matching the performance other structural materials at a fraction of their weight and environmental impact.We tackle the sustainable lightweight materials market. These enable vehicles to reach longer distances and buildings to use less raw material. We expect Woodflow’s combination of high-performance, sustainability and productivity to become a game changer for the new generation of sustainable construction and mobility.
