Wellumio Solves Golden Hour Headache
New Zealand deep tech startup Wellumio is developing a portable NMR scanner that delivers quicker patient care and better outcomes.
Spatial Omics Sparks Stockholm Success
A Swedish biotechnology startup is making waves in the “spatial biology” sector by moving beyond traditional 2D imaging to provide true 3D spatial transcriptomics. The technology could be a game changer for accelerated development of drug therapies. Founded in 2024, CubaseBio boasts two research pioneers in the field of DNA microscopy as scientific advisory co-founders….
Bactolife Back To Reality
Copenhagen. A city of contradictions. Where fairy-tale whimsy and comfort foods like ice-cream and pølser converge with a gritty maritime history, or where the cosy warmth of indoor pubs contrasts with showery weather blowing in from adjacent seas. But the Danish capital is now forging a new path as the centre of gravity for European…
CO₂ Removalists Capture Investments Globally
It has been a huge start to the year for Carbonaide CEO Tapio Vehmas. His carbon sequestration venture not only secured a €3.7 million funding round, but also set up its first industrial scale production facility. And if that wasn’t success enough, a block of certified carbon credits from the process were also minted and…
Apropos Exit For Academic Founders
The recent acquisition by Salesforce of Apromore, a provider of process intelligence software, is a testament to the value created through trans-global institutional partnerships. Ironically, the deal comes at a time when the university business model is itself being challenged through the advancement of technology. Apromore sprung from over a decade of joint research led…
Graphene Collab Connects The Dots
A ground-breaking joint R&D programme between The University of Manchester, UK and Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi has begun to reap rewards through publishing new research on the properties of graphene. Established in 2022, the engagement has also been a model for generating economic benefits through international collaboration between research institutions. Forming a fundamental building…
Fusion Founder Finds Firm Footing
Development of fusion energy has been frustratingly just over the horizon for decades. But a New Zealand physics engineering research company delivered on its promise this week by creating first plasma with an edgy reactor design. Now the challenge is to scale the technology. OpenStar Technologies joins the ranks of stellar ventures mythically founded in…
Daffodil Deal Delivered Downunder
A complex plant alkaloid extracted from the humble daffodil has been demonstrating some extraordinary curative properties in humans. Now with the help of a $4 million investment and a collaborative research project with Lincoln University in New Zealand, the same compound is being investigated as a feed additive to reduce methane emissions from livestock. The…
GaN Devices A Switched On Solution
Metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOS-FETs) form the basis of modern integrated circuits due to their versatility and high density. The foundational technology dates back a century, but it was not until the early 1960s when breakthroughs in semiconductor chemistry allowed the development of the first working transistors, which subsequently evolved into the silicon micro-circuitry that we…
