Through high-performance Deep Learning algorithms, DeepEcho has created a software-based solution to analyze and make an early prenatal diagnosis via ultrasound scans to ensure the timely treatment of high-risk pregnancies. In addition, minimally trained clinical professionals can also use DeepEcho in nontraditional healthcare settings.
ATAREC (Advanced Third Age Renewable Energy Company) has developed the first pilot platform, WaveBeat, for wave power in Morocco. It is a patented solution that exploits wave energy through a mechanical-hydraulic system to produce green energy
Akorn Technology
Founded in 2019, Akorn is a startup that uses upcycled, US, non-GMO corn by-products to manufacture all-natural, clean label, non-GMO, plant-protein-based edible coatings platform for whole and cut fresh produce. Akorn coatings double or triple fresh produce shelf life and deliver long-lasting and safe produce. Its mission is to promote better nutrition and taste and prevent food waste throughout the produce supply chain by enabling producers and retailers to deliver harvest-fresh, tastier, and longer-lasting fruits and vegetables. Akorn’s coatings can be customized on-demand and on-site for different crops, with a broad range of additional functionalities (antimicrobials, fungicides, surface finishes, etc.).
ClimateCrop Ltd.
ClimateCrop™ uses gene editing to unlock the potential of plants to harness more energy, store more carbon, and produce higher yields of crops and trees. As a result, grain and industrial material supply is increased while enhancing plant carbon sequestration.
De Novo Foodlabs
De Novo Foodlabs uses precision fermentation to produce cruelty-free animal-based proteins that respond better to human nutritional needs, as they contain higher protein concentrations than natural cow milk. De Novo Foodlabs is also developing the human milk protein lactoferrin to address the dietary necessities of infants. In addition, the start-up specializes in producing thermoresistant proteins that make the precision fermentation manufacturing process more accessible and affordable.
Biotic envisions a world where plastic is not a concern. They use macroalgae and secret recipe to create fully bio-based, fully biodegradable PHBV polymers. BIOTIC’s solution is enabling optimal transition from fossil-fuel-plastics, with a scalable, fully biological, environmentally friendly process, contributing to the reduction in greenhouse gas emission with a zero waste and circular economy approach.
Nitrofix is a Deeptech company that developed a technology at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Using water as a source of protons instead of fossil fuels, the technology reduces the activation energy needed to combine nitrogen with hydrogen. By using half as much electricity as peers in the sector, it enables the decentralized production of ammonia and has the advantage of scaling to a distributed model.
OMS (OCP Maintenance Solutions) is an asset management consultancy and software development company specializing in advanced Reliability and Maintenance 4.0 solutions for multiple industries. Through the utilization of cutting-edge IoT, Big Data, Data Analytics, and Machine Learning technologies, it developed highly trusted software toolkits for Predictive Maintenance 4.0 tailored to its customers’ requirements.
SensThings creates solutions that automate decision-making by using smart sensors and embedded Artificial Intelligence applied to agriculture and other global industries.
Photons Analysis has developed a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology consisting of rapid in situ soil tests for agronomic purposes.
Cleverlytics is an operating company focused on the study, design, training, development and applied AI and Data Science, communication services and systems related to applied mathematics and scientific computing.
Mascir Valor is a joint-venture between UM6P Ventures and MASCIR aiming to accelerate the transition of projects financed by Mascir into the market. The MAScIR Foundation is a non-profit association associated with the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. Created in 2007, it aims to promote and develop technological research centers in the fields of materials and nanomaterials, biotechnology, microelectronics, and life sciences.
