Our disruptive technology overcomes the limitations of traditional methods and places the cost of growth factor production at <1$/gram. By using tobacco plants grown in open fields as self-sustained, renewable energy-driven “bioreactors”, combined with a novel purification method, our technology enables unparalleled production scale of complex proteins.

Innovative feed additives result in larger, meatier fish. AquiNovo’s non-GMO and non-hormonal feed additives result in significant improvement in both growth and Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR). The same quantity of feed is thereby converted into more biomass. Size distribution also improves, providing farmers with more larger fish and less smaller fish.

SolCold’s active-cooling technology significantly reduces the strain on electricity grids. It decreases  the amount of energy used by up to 60% when compared to traditional air-conditioning. SolCold’s cooling effect is achieved by applying the patented coating to the surface of an object and having sunlight hit the layer, which triggers a reaction that converts heat into radiation in a process called “anti-Stokes fluorescence.”

Smart Resilin produces Resilin and Resilin containing products. Resilin is an elastomeric protein and is the most resilient natural-derived material known. Smart Resilin is the first company to bring Resilin into the market as a high-quality, available raw material providing the planet a unique solution to non-degradable materials. Resilin is safely harvested from nature (bacteria produced) as such, our non-toxic naturally-derived protein is the ideal replacement for many non-degradable plastics (plastic, nylon etc.) and many contaminants (formaldehyde and chemicals used in the production processes of leather, foams, metals (flexible conductive products) and rubber industries). 

CelluFlux develops catalytic processes to transform renewable carbohydrates into useful chemical products that can find use in a wide range of application.

MacroBea is the developer of a platform technology for the dermal delivery of active ingredients. The technology is based on the use of novel, tailored-made biodegradable nanocarriers to fit versatile and unmet needs, an invention developed by Prof. Simon Benita from the Institute for Drug Research at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

WILK operates at the crossroads of Biotech and Food Tech, developing advanced technologies for producing cultured animal milk, cultured human breast milk, and high-grade HMO. The milk is personalized to meet consumers’ taste, nutritional, and even therapeutic needs, while answering to the dairy industry’s functional requirements. With the increasing demand of dairy products, WILK brings their novel solutions to the forefront of the industry, while passionately protecting the environment.

Daika has developed a process for creating a new material made from wasted wood and other natural materials. Its process enables wood materials to be extruded, molded, or printed, opening up new opportunities and applications for shaping and processing wood. The company demonstrated an initial proof of concept in industrial manufacturing processes. The resulting products retained the unique characteristics of wood, such as its warmth, feel, and acoustics, as well as the ability to be processed like regular wood.

Nexocarp offers novel micro-encapsulation solutions in liquid and powder formulas to accelerate the sustainable transformation of products. All industries, especially Agriculture and Food-Tech will benefit from these long-lasting safe solutions which also safeguard the environment.
