Become the Next IDTechEx Launchpad Start-up Success Story!

Ahead of the IDTechEx Show! Berlin, 13-14 May 2020, IDTechEx looks back at the stories of some companies propelled to success by the IDTechEx Launchpad initiative.

Global Initiative for Electric-Truck Charging Infrastructure

The E-Mobility Group of Daimler Trucks & Buses is now launching a worldwide initiative to establish a charging infrastructure for battery-electric trucks. The initial focus is on charging stations installed at the depots of truck customers.

The Potential of Robotics in the Oil and Gas Industry

Aker BP and Cognite announced a strategic initiative to explore how robotics systems can be used to make offshore operations safer, more efficient and more sustainable.

Small, Solar Powered Desalination Units

Researchers have developed a revolutionary desalination process that has the potential to be operated in mobile, solar-powered units.

Artificial Intelligence Finds Disease-Related Genes

An artificial neural network can reveal patterns in huge amounts of gene expression data, and discover groups of disease-related genes. This has been shown by a new study. The scientists hope that the method can eventually be applied within precision medicine and individualised treatment.

Wearable Medical Sensors will get Major Sensitivity Boost

Biosensors integrated into smartphones, smart watches, and other gadgets are about to become a reality. Researchers now describe a way to increase the sensitivity of biological detectors to the point where they can be used in mobile and wearable devices.

Human Textiles to Repair Blood Vessels

What if we could replace a patient's damaged blood vessels with brand new ones produced in a laboratory? This is the challenge set by Inserm researcher Nicolas L'Heureux, who is working on the human extracellular matrix - the structural support of human tissues that is found around practically all of the body's cells.

OBEX: Protective Surf Hood

Even during activities, like surfing, where people desire to escape to nature, embedded technology can be a life-saving companion. OBEX is designed to enhance the experience of surfing and not detract from it in any way: elevating human potential.

VestasStill Rules Turbine Market, But Challengers are Closing in

Developers commissioned almost 61GW of wind turbines globally in 2019, compared with 50GW in the previous year. Most of these were on land (88%) but the share of turbines installed offshore is growing, up four percentage points to 12%. Just four manufacturers accounted for more than half, or 55%, of the machines deployed: Denmark's Vestas, Spain's Siemens Gamesa, China's Goldwind, and General Electric of the US.

Powering Towards Net Zero: Pioneering Energy Projects Get Green Light

£21m awarded to 10 ground-breaking smart energy projects across UK from Coleraine to Rugeley to trial new technology which could become a blueprint for greener localised energy generation on the road to net zero.

Growth Sectors for Conductive Inks as They Solve More Problems

In 2020 the market for conductive inks will be $2.4Bn, according to extensive research by IDTechEx. Of that, 95% of the conductive ink supply by value goes into just three applications. However, for years now there has been work on a myriad of new applications for conductive ink, in this article we assess some of those opportunities.

Navigate the Emerging Graphene Market

Graphene is on the cusp of significant market growth; the opportunities are exciting and diverse, each with significant potential. Graphene and 2D Materials Europe 2020 (13-14 May, Berlin) is the largest B2B event on the topic with a dedicated focus on the commercial frontiers. www.GrapheneEurope.tech

Aggreko Generators Powered by Biogas Deliver Cost Savings

Aggreko plc is working with RE Power Group to produce electricity from clean biogas for a facility in Thailand.

Touch-Responsive Indium Tin Oxide is Very Thin and Flexible

The first highly transparent, touch-responsive and conducting ultra-flexible thin sheets of indium tin oxide have been made by researchers in Australia. Made using a new liquid metal printing technique, the sheets are just 1.5 nm thick and can be deposited onto a variety of substrates - which can then be rolled up like a tube.
