A quick look at three EIT-supported ventures
EIT CommunityMimica Touch (previously known as Bump Mark) is a bio-reactive food expiry label that only goes bad when the food does, meaning that the avoidable food waste that over-cautious printed dates create can be reduced. It is a tactile label, which is felt with your fingertips – so when it feels smooth, the food is safe to eat, but when it goes bumpy, it’s time for the bin. The label can also react to indicate when a package has been left outside of the fridge too long, and reveal the bumps to warn against food poisoning.
Mimica Touch was created by Mimica, whose founder, Solveiga Pakstaite, was supported by EIT Climate-KIC.
Nively, the innovative startup from Italy, is growing and expanding, and is bringing their Mentorage® system to the French market. Mentorage® monitors the movement of vulnerable elderly people in nursing homes to keep them safe.
Nively was supported by EIT Digital.
CorPower Ocean AB has developed a compact high-efficiency Wave Energy Converter, inspired by the pumping principles of the human heart. Using a new phase control method, the Wave Energy Converters always oscillate in resonance with the incoming waves, strongly amplifying their motion and power capture. Phase controlled oscillation offers an exceptionally high energy density, 5 times higher than conventional Wave Energy Converters without phase control. The technology allows a large amount of energy to be harvested using a small device.
CorPower Ocean was supported by EIT InnoEnergy.
