🚀 Research from Chalmers University of Technology and our portfolio company Sinonus AB featured in Di.se 🚀 The article highlights the groundbreaking work by Zhenyuan xia, Richa Chaudhary (Dr), and Leif Asp at Chalmers, Department of Industrial and Materials Science, where they have developed structural batteries – a material that stores energy while also serving as a structural component. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize electric planes and cars by significantly reducing weight and boosting efficiency. 🔋✈️ We’re thrilled to see this innovation gaining attention, with our portfolio company Sinonus driving the commercialization of this research. The aim is to bring the battery concept to market in various products over the coming years. 🌍 "As we move toward electrification, batteries are essential, but current batteries are very heavy in relation to their efficiency. They give power – but also extra weight, which we don't want. Structural batteries truly have a bright future", says Chalmers researcher Richa Chaudhary (Dr). 📸 Photo credit: @di.se & Henrik Sandsjö / Chalmers University of Technology 👉 Link to the full article (in Swedish) in comments. ____ #innovation #sustainability #electricvehicles #chalmersventures #Sinonus #deeptech #batteries #futuretech

🚀🚀🚀 Chalmers does successful exit in Halon 🚀🚀🚀 Chalmers Ventures exits Halon. Halon has been part of Chalmers' portfolio since 2013. Halon is growing in the international market as the next generation of email infrastructure software. In connection with Chalmers Ventures' exit, Intera Partners will invest and support Halon in accelerating its international growth journey. -The fact that Intera is now taking over the baton is clear proof of the strong position Halon has established as a world leader in email management for the most critical applications. It has been a very exciting and fun journey to contribute to the development to the great position the company has today, and we are very proud to have supported the company in the role of lead investor all the way to the exit, says Håkan Krook, Investment Director at Chalmers Ventures and responsible at Chalmers Innovation Seed Fund AB. -Halon's journey and our exit are a strong acknowledgement of Chalmers Ventures' business model that supports with both capital and relevant expertise. All the way from start to successful exit. Chalmers' ability to act as an active owner by being both tech investors and venture builders creates stability, says Pontus Ottosson, CEO of Chalmers Ventures. -The fact that the profits can also go back to new research and investments shows the unique role that Chalmers also plays in society. Halon supports over 100 customers in more than 30 countries, with approximately 60% of Halone's revenues coming from Europe, and Asia and North America being the other main regions. The company has had significant growth and revenues increased by approximately 30% annually to SEK 49 million in 2023.

New investment & portfolio company: LayerLogic AB #deeptech for fighting bacteria 🚀 🦠 Problem The bacteria Listeria is a significant problem in the fish industry. Current tests take several days, which is an issue in various fields such as food and healthcare with other bacteria. 🧪 Solution With LayerLogic's technology, test times can be reduced to minutes. ❤️ Potential The market for Listeria testing in food is $2.4 billion worldwide. Pathogen detection, finding harmful bacteria and viruses in food, represents an additional market of $21.7 billion. The third application area is the diagnostic test market, including water, medtech, and agriculture, which amounts to $210 billion. ....... - It is a problem that they have to send samples to the lab, where they get results within three to eleven days. Alternatively, they use today's rapid tests, which take between 24-48 hours. This means that fishers and producers must send out their fish before receiving the results. If the test is positive, they must recall the product, says André Persson, co-founder of LayerLogic. - LayerLogic is a young and exciting company with the ambition to revolutionize an entire industry thanks to its unique graphene-based sensors. The company also stems from research at Chalmers University of Technology and is an excellent example of successful utilization from Chalmers' innovation system, says Evelina Stoli Wängberg, Pre-seed Investment Manager at Chalmers Ventures.

🚀 New #foodtech #impact portfolio company & investment - meet Seaqure labs 😮 Problem Overfishing which is turned into fishmeal for feed 😎 Solution Creating protein made from mycoprotein, or fungi, done with a unique fermentation technique 😃 Potential Huge impact for reducing waste. The global fish feed market is worth $60 billion - aquaculture is the world’s fastest-growing food industry, as the global population increases. Chalmers Ventures has been following Seaqure Labs' development since their time at Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship. The company is well-positioned, with the potential to become a global impact company. - The way we feed our animals today is unsustainable. We need to transform our food production. Just take fishing in the Baltic Sea as an example. 92 percent of all herring caught in the Baltic Sea goes to fish feed, says Johan Henriksson, CEO and co-founder of the company. - They have found a great application for fish feed, and now the process of truly commercializing this begins, says Oskar Svarfvar, Seed Investment Manager at Chalmers Ventures. Seaqure labs have moved into Sahlgrenska Science Park's new Life Science hub and have joined the MassChallenge Switzerland accelerator in Switzerland Team Johan Henriksson Albin Frick Sajjad Karimi - University of Borås  Mohsen Parchami - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) #impactinvestment #chalmers #chalmersventures #foodtech Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship Chalmers Innovation Office Chalmers University of Technology Full PR in comment

Take a look at one of our latest investments - Amferia kills bacteria closed a € 1,2 million round! 🚀⚡️ ⛈️ Problem: Bacterial infections are likely to surpass #cancer and heart disease as a number one cause of human deaths in the future with resistant bacteria and overuse of antibiotics. ❤️ Solution: A #deeptech hydrogel patch where antimicrobial peptides punctures bacterial membranes and destroys the cells without harming surrounding tissue. 🌱 Potential: Faster and safer health for animals and humans making sure to fight unnecessary deaths so that more cab survive infections. All on a truly global market. Amferia has already signed its first commercial agreement with Orkla Wound Care , a leading company within animal wound care, to introduce a wound dressing that also kills resistant bacteria. - Bacterial infections are likely to surpass cancer and heart disease as a number one cause of human deaths in the future, and this is largely due to resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Our hydrogel technology enables the safe and stable use of antimicrobial peptides, allowing them to effectively target bacteria without harming surrounding tissue. Essentially, we are using antimicrobial peptides to mimic the immune system and reduce the need for antibiotics, says Anand Kumar Rajasekharan , CEO and co-founder of Amferia. - We believe this investment will help Amferia advance its hydrogel platform and bring it to the market for human use. A portion of the funds will be allocated towards regulatory and post-regulatory work for human use. It will also help Amferia form new strategic partnerships to ensure a smooth market entry, says Jonas Bergman Investment Director at Chalmers Ventures. - I am very grateful to our owners for investing in Amferia and in our vision of reducing resistant antimicrobial infections globally. I want to say a big thank you to our existing owners for your continued support as well as welcoming our new investors. We look forward to building the future together, says agneta edberg , chairman of Amferia. Based on cutting edge research from Chalmers University of Technology Saba Atefyekta PR and links in comment.
