ZENIT's business idea of Smart Polycrystals is based on the production and sale of polycrystals for the solid state laser (SSL) machine market.

Existing SSL systems have high manufacturing costs and the machines are heavy and bulky. These laser beams are generated by a single-crystal that heats up locally during laser emission, causing the temporary deformation of the crystalline cell, degrading the quality of the beam and reducing its efficiency.

The company activity consists in research, development, production, and marketing of cosmetics for personal care and beauty, based on Italian milk whey of animal origin, obtained through a cheese making process.

The innovation lies in the use of liquid rather than freeze-dried whey as the main ingredient, unlike products currently on the market, completely substituting water.

After successful applications in the medical world, the Neurality methods are expanding to other markets, including industry and agri-food.

eSteps acts to counter increasing motor disability in the lower limbs, providing monitoring solutions before, during, and after hospitalization. It applies biomechanical and telerehabilitation protocols along with sports telemonitoring. These combine with hi-tech customized, sustainable solutions that prioritize patients and sportsmen.

Bioverse is a start-up that develops and markets electromedical equipment specially designed for emergency and low resource contexts.

Bioverse's mission is to reduce a gap in the health service, by exploiting the approaches of reverse engineering and frugal innovation.

The main product of Bioverse is Corax, an innovative device that monitors ambient conditions for patients with repressed immune defences, and in particular children suffering from burns.

The business idea underlying PerFormS is the innovative formulation of health products through the application of advanced technologies for the delivery of bioactive molecules, both natural and synthetic, in order to improve bioavailability, helping to overcome the biological barriers associated with the various forms of administration.

VST, innovative start-up and spin off, of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.

This new company is involved in the design, production, and marketing of furnishing and fashion accessories. They develop innovations in applied physics using polymethylmethacrylate in the lighting accessories sector. The aim is to develop optical properties for optimizing lighting capacity within the limits of the standards in force.

The unique design products conceived by NICOLAZZARO implement innovations in applied physics capable of achieving new breakthroughs, with patents pending, for the protection of human health.

In vitro cell cultivation is a widely applied technology worldwide in the fields of pharmacology, cosmetics, diagnostics, and research, normally using foetal bovine serum (FBS) as a nutrition source. However, its use is subject to the limitations of high and constantly rising costs, and some ethical issues since the production process is mainly based outside of the European continent.
