DUDE CHEM is a German-based startup dedicated to advancing sustainable chemical production. The company aims to revolutionize the chemical-pharmaceutical industry by developing greener active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and intermediates.
CarbonFree’s SkyCycle™ technology is a groundbreaking solution for capturing CO2 emissions from hard-to-abate industrial sources and transforming them into valuable, carbon-negative products. SkyCycle™ captures carbon emissions before they enter the atmosphere, decarbonizes, and mineralizes the CO2, converting it into marketable, non-hazardous materials or permanently storable compounds. This process yields significant carbon value, helping to reduce global supply chain emissions, particularly Scope 3 emissions.
Bright Path Laboratories is a pharmaceutical company committed to changing the way American medicine is sourced and manufactured. By using a continuous flow platform and their patented Spinning-Tube-in-Tube (STT) Reactor™, Bright Path produces large quantities of medicine more quickly, cost-effectively, and with superior quality compared to competitors.
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.
Crossing, 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.
