FRIZ Biochem is a privately-owned biotech company
located in Munich-Neuried. Founded in 2004, the company
currently generates revenues by out-licensing, services and
providing proprietary chemicals. The main focus, however,
is on the development of electronic biochips and its use in
life science and diagnostics. FRIZ gradually extended its
biochip R&D efforts to complete workflow integration of
MDx to Lab-on-a-chip systems. As a result, the CYCLE®
technology platform emerged in co-operation with
renowned research institutes, clinical research organisations
and hospitals as well as biotech companies. The well
attuned staff of FRIZ possesses expertise for complex
technology development ranging from bioinformatics and
software via physics and chemistry to biology and
diagnostics. Personnel and network succeeded where
others failed: to realise a complex interdisciplinary
development that is ready for the market.
Our product:
FRIZ Biochem's CYCLE® offers a first-time-ever
opportunity to serve the molecular diagnostics
customer at the point-of-care in the testing of multiple
drug resistant (MDR) ailments.
MDx testing could be one of the biggest game-changers
health care has seen in decades. MDx is a new class of
diagnostic tests that identify molecular and genetic markers
for an individual patient. These markers determine
potential benefit of a
specific therapy, or
risk of developing a
specific disease or
other health
conditions.
MDx tests’ fast turn-
around times and
reliable high
accuracy have the
potential to reduce
the occurrence and
costs of ineffective
health care services,
enhance patient
outcomes and
improve disease
management.
While much has
been written about
the promise of new molecular and genetic diagnostic tests,
they also cause a tidal wave of complexity, cost and quality
issues for health plans.
FRIZ Biochem’s CYCLE® technology offers a unique
opportunity to pioneer next generation MDx testing. While
all other technologies rely on fluorescence-based detection
capable of discriminating only five sequence biomarkers in
one test run, there is a growing demand for high resolution
testing (tens or hundreds of biomarkers), e. g. for MRSA-,
tb-, MRGN- , HPV- or Pathogen-testing.
The use of CYCLE® avoids the involvement of skilled labour
and will reduce the budget necessary to improve health
care costs associated with MDx testing as well as overall
costs for the treatment due to early and complete
diagnosis. The achieved technological advancement
anticipates the problem of growing incidents of chronic
and infectious diseases as exemplified in the need for cost-
effective and fast screening to fight hospital-acquired
infections. This issue was even addressed at the G7 summit
in 2015. Besides, CYCLE® is prepared to be exploited in
developing countries at regions without laboratory infra
structure or in the field of companion diagnostics.
Our target audience:
Hospitals and diagnostic centres
NGOs focused on tuberculosis management
A strategic partner with business development
and sales capabilities to promote advanced point
of care tuberculosis testing in Africa
Government health agencies

The company was founded in 2010 by Liisa Petrykowska
who gathered a team of scientists and researchers from
institutions like NASA and moved to West Africa. In 2013
the company started piloting with farmers, and now has a
team of 15 top meteorological scientists, programmers,
and emerging market business experts - all of whom work
and live in West Africa. The team is working to provide
better weather forecasts for the tropical region, especially
for farmers as they produce 70% of the food in Sub-
Saharan Africa and are often those who are the most
vulnerable, and can benefit the most .
Our product:
Ignitia provides highly accurate forecasts for small scale
farmers via SMS. The company developed a weather
model specifically calibrated for the tropics, resulting in
forecasts that are twice as accurate as global models
(~84%). We get these forecasts to farmers by partnering
with telcos to send GPS-specific daily forecasts, as well as
monthly and seasonal predictions. The message is sent in a
simple text-lite format, and can be received on any mobile
phone (no smartphone required). Farmers don’t have to
pay a large sum upfront, instead they subscribe via their
mobile operator and pay in micro-instalments from their
existing mobile credit. It costs just $0.03/message, adding
up to just 1%-2% of a farmer’s total costs for a year.
Our target audience:
Businesses that are operating in the
telecommunications space
Meteorological agencies
Emergency response agencies (flood, etc)
Businesses that work along the agricultural
supply chain, especially those that have direct
linkages with small scale farmers
Investors
Why us:
Ignitia was awarded the European Union’s Horizon 2020

At Nordic 24/7 Services our mission is to engineer eco-
friendly coolers that give major Point of Sale (POS) and
Point of Purchase (POP) brands the ability to improve
their green social responsibility and reduce waste while
boosting their retail presence.
Our product:
Home of CoolTM is a unique environment friendly
electronic cooler that uses an innovative combination
of peltier elements and insulation materials, hence
omitting completely the compressor and refrigerant
fluid. The only moving part is an efficient and low-cost coil
fan, similar
to a computer fan, which blows the hot air away from the
unit. The fan has a lifetime that is at least five times longer
than that of the
compressor
(depends on
quality of fan).
Therefore, the
greatest benefit of
the cooler is that
it is service free.
Changing the fan
is a simple and
cheap technical
solution, and the
replaced fan
(composed of
plastic, magnets and copper coil windings) is not a threat to
the environment. Moreover, our refrigerator elements take
less than 8% of the total volume of the cooler (compressor
is 30%). Hence, another benefit is that our coolers take 60%
less space and are 70% lighter than the smallest
compressor coolers available in the market. Other
important benefit of our
cooler is that it is
vibration free and it is
free from any chemical
regulation since the fluid
refrigerant has been
removed. Furthermore,
the coolers do not
contain any flammable
gases, hence certifications
are by far lower than
conventional coolers.
All these benefits lead to
huge cost savings in manufacturing and maintenance.
Bottom line: the solution gives the customers great benefits
for a lower price!
This radical achievement in cooling technology, has allowed
Nordic 24/7 to be the first company to offer POS & POP
(Point Of Sales and Point Of Purchase) coolers that can be
placed in limited spaces, such as next to the cash
register.
Our target audience:
