There's a new, not-to-miss opportunity around the corner for potential investors, partners and researchers. On 30 November, the European Innovation Council (EIC) and the EIT Climate-KIC are presenting new disruptive innovations at the Innovation Spotlight Event.

 

Join the Spotlight event online and participate in the Q&A with the selected group of innovators. The session, happening on 30 November from 11:30 to 13:00 CET, will be made by a panel discussion and a pitching moment. You can watch it live on LinkedIn.

 

The Five Future Innovations are:

  • Thermophoton, a start-up spun from the research project Thermobat - develops innovative Power-to-Heat-to-Power energy storage technology to decarbonise both the heat and electricity sectors. The value proposition is the supply of a very cheap system capable of storing large amounts of energy for long periods, which has high energy density, high global efficiency and uses abundant and low-cost materials.
  • MIRACLE Concrete turns low-tech concrete and cement-based materials into high-tech, eco-friendly photonic metamaterials. Its revolutionary Photonic Meta-Concrete’s (PMC) will be engineered to exhibit radiative cooling ability for the construction industry. Its applications can also be expanded in multiple fields such as solar cell technology or communication technologies.
  • AMAPOLA is developing low-cost Aluminum-Sulphur batteries that incorporate innovative polymer-based electrolytes, designed to outperform current Li-ion batteries.
  • ITS-THIN develops novel Ultrathin Carbon Membranes (CNMs) for unprecedented efficiency in water filtration applications, and the removal of small molecules and ions from water streams, inspired by the highly efficient biological filtration processes found in nature. Application fields are: water polishing for ultrapure water production and pharma and food & beverage applications.
  • Crop Intellect specializes in processed photocatalysts able to convert nitrous oxides from the air to nitrate in daylight. This process removes the potent greenhouse gas from the atmosphere while creating a Nitrate by-product that is essential for plant growth.

 

The RACE programme is a EIT Climate-KIC and European Innovation Council (EIC) initiative funded by the Horizon 2020 programme which seeks to support entrepreneurial pioneer innovation communities. Our purpose is to enhance Europe’s innovation portfolios that support European Green Deal goals. With RACE, innovators receive a dedicated service to improve their business readiness levels through tailored entrepreneurship training, peer to peer learning, coaching and mentoring opportunities, as well as access to EIT Climate-KIC networks.
