Based on CERN cooling technology, we use the power of phase change cooling to transport the heat in a much faster, and energy-efficient way. Unlike traditional cooling systems, we only target the problem areas (hot spots) without having to cool the whole infrastructure around it. By utilizing the unique properties of high-pressure refrigerants, we can dissipate the excess heat of the computing units in a more direct, efficient way whilst creating an optimal thermal environment, ideal for processors with a high heat density.

Company Name: Leyden Jar Technologies
Description: In short, we use silicon anode technology to improve the storage capacity of Li-ion batteries by up to 50%.

To date, the company has managed to attract significant funding. This has meant that in November 2018 Hiber became the Netherlands’ first commercial satellite company, launching its first two nano-satellites into orbit.

Company Name: Circularise
Description: Our economy is ‘linear’, meaning that raw materials are used to make a product, and after its use, any waste is thrown away. We at Circularise believe that by moving towards the circular economy these outcomes can be prevented. However, in order for that to happen, we need cooperation between manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, recyclers and other parties involved.

That’s the reason why we are developing a blockchain‑based communication protocol to promote value chain transparency without public disclosure of datasets or supply chain partners (focusing on textile, plastics & electronics). This system will allow these parties to increase trust in each other, increase transparency and allow them to communicate data that wasn’t accessible before, leading to an uptake of recycling, reusing and repurposing practices on a massive scale.

Bath, shower and washing machine water are treated so it is clean, clear and safe and meets the highest international standards.

It’s re-used for toilet flushing, washing machine, garden irrigation and pool top-up. Hydraloop can generate a huge impact worldwide: greywater accounts for 60% of all waste-water discharged into the sewer but is perfect for recycling/reuse. Hydraloop offers to reduce mains water consumption by 45% (so UNSDG6 goal becomes more achievable) and the sewage system is taxed 45% less, so infrastructure of existing pipeline network can, therefore, provide more homes and in new housing estates a smaller network may suffice.
