Nofence — Nofence is a system virtual fencing for grazing animals. Virtual fencing of livestock has been a concept long discussed in academia. The Norwegian ag-tech startup Nofence has since 2011 developed and patented a solution for virtual fencing that has proven to work. The customers say that this will become a real gamechanger for livestock managementsince pastures can easily be defined by a few clicks on a tablet/smartphone. The herd is then safely fenced in and can be monitored. The system will send notifications if something happens. From the global food security perspective, this solution will make it much easier to utilize the uncultivated land for varied and healthy pasture, and make it possible to produce more food on cultivated land.

Graham Weston is one of the founders of Rackspace and now serves as Chairman of the Board. Graham has been a part of Rackspace from the beginning. Born and raised in the San Antonio area, he saw entrepreneurial opportunities in everything around him. He launched his first business venture as a seventh grader, marketing organic pork in newspaper adsthat read "Go Hog Wild!" In high school, he built another business that took photos at livestock shows and sold them to contestants. He attended Texas A&M, where—you guessed it—he launched another business. This one was inspired by his successful appeal of his father's property tax bills, and led him to help other property owners appeal their bills.Graham went into the real estate business, and led his family to buy and develop the Weston Centre in downtown San Antonio. At the same time, he developed a keen interest in the possibilities of the Internet. In 1998, he and a partner provided the original capital for a business idea pitched by three local Trinity University students. They called it "Rackspace.com." Graham joined the enterprise as CEO and remained in that position until 2006, when he became chairman. In 2005, Graham was honored by the City of San Antonio for converting one of his vacant properties into a temporary shelter for victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Nicknamed the "Hilton of Shelters," by the Denver Post, it housed more than 2,500 refugees. Graham was named a 2006 "Best Boss" by Fortune Small Business magazine and was recognized as regional Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young," from Rackspace.com.

GLO — glō is a venture-backed company focused on the development and commercialization of advanced LED display products using nanotechnology. The unique nanotechnology is based on 11 years of research at Lund University’s Nanometer Structure Consortium. Headed by Professor Lars Samuelson, one of the world’s leading scientists in this field, who haspublished more than 500 papers related to this technology.glō's first office is in Lund, Sweden, where basic material research continues for the next generation nanotechnology. glō's research and product development along with pilot fabrication operation is carried out at glō-USA in Sunnyvale, California. In 2016, glō established an Asia office in Taipei, Taiwan, one of the largest and fastest-growing regions for LED lighting and display applications.glō's technology sidesteps the technical limitations of current planar LED technology. It allows for the creation of highly efficient, stable and ultimately unique red, green, blue (RGB) emitters out of one material system. It aims to achieve the industry’s best color stability and ultimately enables the growth of red, green and blue emitters on the same wafer. Highly-efficient white LEDs with high color rendering will be possible without the need for phosphor conversion. It is the next enabling technology for advanced display, illumination and automotive applications.glō nanowire light-emitting diodes (nLEDs) are based on its proprietary hetero-structured semiconductor nanowire epitaxial growth and process technologies for which standard manufacturing equipment and materials can be utilized.glō currently holds over 175 patents across US, Europe and Asia. These patents are not subject to any cross-licensing with the LED oligopoly. The glō team is constantly strengthening its intellectual property position in this technology and related applications.
SantoSolve — SantoSolve is developing topical analgesic products based on non-radioactive strontium as the active substance. The Development program was initiated based on experimental clinical use of strontium-based products showing evidence of strong local analgesic effects on several localized pain conditions of both nociceptive and neuropatic origin. Nosignificant adverse effects associated with the treatment was reported.The companyâ€™s lead product, 2PX, is topically administered, utilizing dermal penetration enhancers for delivery of the active agent to its subdermal site of action. Phase I safety and pharmacology studies showed the active agent to have low systemic bioavailability, and only few and minor adverse effects were observed at the site of administration. In open label Phase II clinical trials, the product has shown strong analgesic effect in both nociceptive and neuropatic pain conditions. In follow up, placebo controlled trials, the analgesic effect of the product has been further documented. In the companyâ€™s most advanced pain indication under study, osteoarthritis, the company has recently completed the Phase II program.These trials supports the open label results and document statistically that the analgesic effect in patients treated with 2PX is superior to that observed with placebo treatment.
