On Wednesday, 1 October, 2024, INAM introduced 13 innovative startups from both programs, who presented their groundbreaking technologies. Thirteen is a lucky number for us. The turnout was fantastic, and we’re grateful to everyone who joined us virtually to support their journeys.
The startups in the Advanced Materials Lab Program:
OLEC is developing an Organic Light-emitting cell technology to help light chip manufacturers produce chips cheaper and faster, using widely available organic materials and a simple production process.
MechSyn develops high-performance materials with unique properties through fully electrically driven mechanochemical processes that synthesise materials at room temperature, ambient pressure and without the use of solvents.
MAQI provides custom-designed optical crystals based on metal-organic frameworks for a variety of applications in the photonics industry.
PigmentOCO, leverages supercritical CO₂ technology to revolutionise textile dyeing by eliminating water pollution while maintaining superior colour quality.
AMEA has developed a new energy-efficient approach for bulk high entropy alloy wire arc additive manufacturing.
RamanEdge is a consumable nanostructured SERS substrate designed for high-sensitivity, label-free detection of disease biomarkers, offering a scalable and cost-effective solution for diagnostics and diverse applications.
The startups in the Advanced Materials Competition Scale program:
Avisa Myko is making Melanin, A multifunctional super material, using precision fermentation at 4000 times cheaper and making this material available for commercial use for the first time.
Flux Polymers non-toxic surface functionalisation enhances recyclability, introduces easy-to-clean capabilities, and is chemically bound via a simple coating process.
IGL Coatings uses graphene nanomaterials to form an ultra-thin, high-strength barrier that offers unmatched corrosion resistance, extending asset life while reducing maintenance costs and environmental impact—delivering cutting-edge value for investors.
Lios is on a mission to eradicate noise pollution with SoundBounce, an innovative, non-toxic acoustic material that offers up to four times greater noise reduction in a compact, lightweight design, making it ideal for industries like construction and automotive.
NSS Water provides the world's first nanopure water for high tech industries.
Smart Materials has developed and patented a scalable production method for auxetic polyurethane (PU) foam, offering customisable high-performance features at competitive costs, with an initial focus on the mattress industry to drive sustainability and circularity.
QDI Systems has developed scalable quantum dot technology to produce high-quality image sensors for X-ray and short-wave infrared (SWIR) applications.
These startups are pushing the limits of material science to solve real-world challenges, from quantum technology and reducing wastewater to safer coatings and revolutionary melanin production.
