Industrial Scale-Up and Commercial Readiness (TRL 8-9)

Noncanonical Amino Acids Made Using Enzymes

Aralez Bio is a biopharmaceutical company pioneering a platform that unlocks an unprecedented range of noncanonical amino acids (also known as unnatural or unusual amino acids). These noncanonical amino acids can modify the properties of biomolecules, allowing for tailored products to meet specific customer needs. They are essential for developing next-generation products with exceptional chemical, biological, and physical properties.

Active Cross-Linking

C​​rossing, an innovative startup based in Italy, is developing a new class of “Active Cross-Linking Agents” (ACLs) at competitive prices. ACLs can be applied in various fields due to their unique ability to bind different molecules using a “lock and key” mechanism similar to enzymes. The structures of ACLs are highly adaptable, allowing the creation of a diverse chemical library with varying properties such as activity, speed of action, performance, and industrial applications.

Lubyren™: Biobased Acids for Lubricants and Functional Fluids

Lubyren™ is a product line developed by Afyren, a French company specializing in producing bio-based chemicals and ingredients through innovative fermentation processes. Afyren is committed to providing sustainable and circular solutions to industries traditionally dependent on petrochemical-based products. Lubyren™ offers a range of 100% bio-based carboxylic acids as eco-friendly alternatives to crude oil-derived acids commonly used in lubricant formulations.

Enzymes for Multi-Purpose Products

Realzyme specializes in enzyme-based solutions designed to detect and address biofilm contamination across various industries, including food and beverage, healthcare, and home hygiene. Under its brand eezym, Realzyme offers natural, high-performance products for maintaining a clean and healthy home environment, free from toxic chemicals. Another brand, Realco, provides professional-grade products tailored for different sectors, ranging from multi-surface cleaners to highly specialized technologies.

Environmentally Responsible Nanoparticles for Catalysis

NanoScientifica Scandinavia is a startup specializing in nanotechnology solutions with applications in biotechnology, medicine, and catalysis. The company focuses on producing shape- and size-controlled nanoparticles through scalable and environmentally responsible processes designed to reduce energy consumption, waste, and byproducts, promoting more sustainable industrial practices. By optimizing the size, shape, and composition of nanoparticles, NanoScientifica enhances their catalytic activity for various chemical processes.

Biodegradable Shoes Made With Plant-Based Technology

Blueview is a footwear company owned by Algenesis, a material science and technology company intended to manufacture renewable and biodegradable plastic material from algae. Blueview footwear is made with Soleic™ Technology, a high-performance, renewable, and fully biodegradable polyurethane plastic made from plants. The process starts with algae oil and other raw materials from the algae growing partners and other biological sources and converting them into bioplastic at the molecular level in the lab.

SixRing™ Process for Biomass Transformation

SixRing™ specializes in converting sustainable biomass into high-value intermediates, fine chemicals, biofuels, and advanced materials using patented chemical compositions and low-energy processes. The technology operates under ambient conditions, efficiently extracting cellulose and Lignin-Hemicellulose-Depolymerized-Organics™ (LHDO™) from biomass. These components can be upgraded to biofuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), diesel, and gasoline.

PCC Greenline® Products

PCC Group is committed to advancing the green transformation of the global chemical industry through its PCC Greenline® product line. These products cater to various industrial sectors by providing sustainable ingredients such as salts, betaines, silicons, alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, and alcohols. The Greenline® range includes formulations for shampoos, shower gels, and cleaning products designed to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions.

Bioluminescent Lights

Lux Bio, a startup dedicated to sustainable innovation, has developed "Lume," a revolutionary bioluminescent lighting system designed to replace traditional chemiluminescent lights. This enzyme-based proprietary technology harnesses the power of enzymes to create a stable and long-lasting light source. When mixed with water, the bioluminescent formula produces light, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional chem lights. Unlike chemically synthesized alternatives, Lume is bio-manufactured in a lab using renewable resources, making it an environmentally friendly option.
