Each year a volume of low-metal concentrated soilsequivalent to the area of Paris and 100m high is extracted and not processed. It is not only a missed opportunity to recover significant amounts of metal, but it is also a serious risk for the environment. At Genomines, we bring together 2 worlds: Agriculture and Mining. We offer a sustainable alternative to conventional mining by genetically enhancing the natural ability of plants to hyperaccumulate metals.

Total investment in production facilities (with yearly capacity up to 12 MW and extendable to 35 MW in current premises) and raw materials for initiation of production is estimated to 1,8 million €. Besides raw materials, this includes land, production premises, required utilities, machinery and equipment and basic permits.At the income side,according to business plan calculations, we may expect yearly profit of 1,3 million € at the level of production of 5 MW.From the market perspective, both domestic and international buyers are interested in solar panels. The closest producer of panels is located in Croatia, EU, and no similar production facilities exist in BiH. We may offer highly competitive prices, particularly due to the recent disputes between EU and China in regard to subventions/taxes to solar panels.

- Everspin — Founded in 2014, Everspin has brought in a new paradigm in the world cybersecurity market with its dynamic security module technology.Everspin's unparalleled innovation has come from a simple, but unprecedented idea: If hacking occurs when enough time is given to hackers, why not cut down such time? After years of R&D, Everspin hasfound a way to solve the fundamental problem that all of the existing mobile cybersecurity solutions entail: security modules are placed in the user’s app and they do not change until the app is updated, which inevitably renders mobile apps vulnerable to hacking.Everspin’s technology enables its security module to be sent by Everspin server to the app and constantly replaced by a new module, which settles the issues that come from the location and invariability of the current solutions. Though its products are currently targeting the mobile app market, Everspin with its highly versatile technology is expected to launch its service for Web/PC, server and IoT in the near future. ■ Solution Features: -App/OS/Memory forgery prevention. -Real-time hacking detection. -Instant security update to multiple types of devices without any user-side program update.■ Credibility -First ever to pass all the security tests by National Security Research Institute in Korea(100% blocking rate for 3,000++ hacking attempts). -Within 1year sales, secured 23cutomers including 3/5 of major banks in Korea. -SBI Holdings to gradually implement Everspin solution to all of its 200++ subsidiaries around the world.
