Reverion’s Post

I am thrilled by the cool ideas that our researchers and students keep turning into new applications and start-up ideas. We have just honored a fascinating energy start-up with the TUM Presidential Entrepreneurship Award.   The Reverion team has developed a sustainable biogas power plant that combines several advantages over previous systems: It is more efficient, can capture CO2 and can not only generate electricity, but also use surplus electricity to produce hydrogen or methane as energy storage.   The company emerged in 2022 from a research project at the Chair of Energy Systems. It was funded in the TUM Venture Lab ChemSPACE as well as in the incubator program XPRENEURS and the accelerator program TechFounders at UnternehmerTUM. Today, Reverion is successful on the market with more than 100 employees.   ...and we have many such success stories at TUM. The many movers and shakers who attended today's TUM Entrepreneurship Day give me confidence in Germany as a location for innovation and the necessary efforts for a more sustainable future.   The photo shows my colleague, TUM Senior Vice President Prof. Gerhard Kramer with Reverion founder Stephan Herrmann.   https://lnkd.in/dBwPgmAZ   TUM UnternehmerTUM TUM Venture Labs XPRENEURS incubator for high-tech start-ups Ulrich Meyer #Research #Innovation #TUM #Startups #Energy #Biogas #Sustainability #TUMPresidentialEntrepreneurshipAward #Reverion #Efficiency #CO2Separation #ElectricityGeneration #Hydrogen #Methane #EnergyStorage #ResearchProject #ChairOfEnergySystems #TUMVentureLab #ChemSPACE #XPRENEURS #TechFounders #UnternehmerTUM #SuccessStory #InnovationMadeInGermany #TUMEntrepreneurshipDay #SustainableFuture Credit: Sebastian Kissel / TUM

❓ How can we translate more #scientific #ideas into products? How do we change the mentality towards #entrepreneurship? ❓   In Session 3 on Day 1 of our #BayOConnect #biotechnology conference we discuss the topic 👉 “Translating Science: Keys to Commercializing Biotech Research” 👈 together with our esteemed panelists, among them:   Dr. Roman Werner, Managing Director of the TUM Venture Labs Food-Agro-Biotech (#FAB) at the Technische Universität München (TUM). He states: “Commercializing biotech research boosts universities, attracts more talent, fosters industry ties, and enhances the practical impact of academic projects. “   Werner oversees a wide variety of start-up activities and ventures with technical know-how as well as access to important infrastructure within the FAB, which is a university #startup center at #TUM and has its home at the TUM School of Life Sciences Weihenstephan.   We are curious to see how his discussion partners agree and look forward to a lively exchange from different perspectives: that of the #entrepreneur and that of the #accelerator.   🖇️ Want to join the discussion? Then don’t miss #BioM’s premier biotechnology conference “BayOConnect – Forum for Biotech and LifeScience on 📅 2 – 3 July 📍 in #Munich!   Check out the full agenda and register here: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dGMqmzYS   #BayOConnect2024 #translation #biotechinnovations #commercialization #science #biotechresearch #Bavaria

"Los Angeles County's Bioscience Industry Grows in Microclusters, Westside Biohub Shows Potential for Major Expansion" "The Los Angeles County bioscience industry is evolving into several microclusters, with key hubs including the 101 Biotech Corridor, Santa Clarita Valley, Westwood/Santa Monica, and the San Gabriel Valley. While these microclusters lack the scale of the Bay Area or San Diego, they are attracting significant venture capital. The region has nearly 50,000 bioscience jobs in 2022, with an average wage of $114,000. Recent investments, like the California Center for Immunology in Westwood, could propel the Westwood/Santa Monica cluster into a major bioscience hub." https://lnkd.in/gTikinJC

Global Brain has made an additional investment in Pale Blue Inc. (Pale Blue), a startup developing propulsion systems for micro-satellites, through its KURONEKO Innovation Fund (KURONEKO Fund). Pale Blue is a startup from the University of Tokyo, founded in 2020 by members who have a world-leading track record in the research and development of propulsion systems for micro-satellites. Propulsion systems for micro-satellites have various issues related to technology, price, size, etc. Accordingly, there are　almost no propulsion systems available in the market. Based on the ion engine technology developed at the University of Tokyo, Pale Blue is developing a water-fueled propulsion system for micro-satellites. By using water as the ultimate clean fuel, the product takes into consideration the space environment and the safety of workers. Pale Blue has already been successfully demonstrated their technology in space and is expected to expand globally in the future. Global Brain has decided to additionally invest in Pale Blue because of its advanced technology and competitive advantage. Through this investment, Global Brain will continue to support Pale Blue's business development and product development for further growth. https://lnkd.in/gng-YTPq

📌 “One third of [biotech] companies created in Oxford since 1959 have formed in the last five years” - and the real estate sector has taken notice. A new life science incubator is under construction to provide small companies with R&D space. Currently, up to 30 companies are in need. As someone from a small company, I’m thrilled at this development. Our time in Singapore’s Life Science Incubator not only equipped us with lab space, but also surrounded us with a dynamic, risk-taking, scrappy community of startups that support each other. This kind of ecosystem is what sustains entrepreneurs for the long haul. #lifescienceindustry #startups #biotech For Boston companies, check out the recently launched Bioburst.io!
