Ud af de 18 hold, der er gået videre i finalen i årets Venture Cup Startup Competition, er ni hold fra DTU.
De ni DTU-projekter, der er nået i finalen, fordeler sig i fem forskellige kategorier:
Cleantech & Environment
- Novel Gas Turbine (DTU)
A revolutionizing new gas turbine concept, which can accommodate today’s power grids’, increasing energy fluctuations caused by increased energy production from wind and solar sources. A flexible gas turbine concept that can run in two operation modes enabling both a fast response energy production as well as a high efficiency energy production.
- Ship Pyrolisis (DTU)
Ship Pyrolysis uses a patented process to turn sewage sludge into environmentally friendly, cheap bio-oil, to be used as fuel for the shipping industry. This market is under increasing regulatory pressure to find “greener” alternatives for traditional bunker fuel, and simultaneously is facing problems regarding increasing oil prices. Combining this, Ship Pyrolysis sees a big potential market by being capable of providing cheap and green oil.
Life Science & MedTech
- BluSense Diagnostics (DTU)
BluSense is developing a low-cost, consumer-oriented diagnostics device for diabetes type II monitoring. With novel bio-detection technique combined with mass-production-compatible hardware, BluSense aims at distributing an affordable, easy-to-use and scalable diagnostics tools in developing and developed countries.
- MGM Bio (CBS/DTU)
Metagenomic mining – novel molecules for the treatment of viral diseases.
Mobile & Web
- Aware ApS (AU/DTU)
App to potentially avoid any hazardous ingredients in consumer products.
- GroupRoom (DTU)
Approximately 50% of university students are lacking an overview in their projects, and no existing solution solves this problem for this exact segment. GroupRoom is an online collaboration platform, which gives students a fast and simple overview through communication, file sharing and task management.
Product & Technology
- ProCo-optics (DTU)
ProCo-optics will manufacture and sell advanced “self-cleaning”, high temperature & corrosion resistant infrared windows. Our windows enable the development of revolutionary sensor systems, e.g. for gas analysis in harsh environments.
- The Oktoberfist (DTU)
A leather beer-drinking glove in the style of Bavarian lederhosen engineered to support the wrist against the weight of the beer glass as well as including a pocket for valuables.
Social Entrepreneurship
- Airtenna (DTU)
Airtenna designs hardware for wireless internet in rural areas in developing countries.
