We are delighted to be supporting a diverse range of businesses as part of our 2018 programme.
Spring Cohort 2018
EMSOL
Transport emission compliance will be a growing need for Governments, City Authorities and owners of vehicles to manage the essential global need to reduce concentrations of pollutants. Testing structures in place today are expensive, prone to fraud and on a very infrequent basis. These practices for the future are not workable with the growing pressure to solve the Air Quality challenge in most countries and especially in Urban areas. EMSOL will create an independent emissions platform that will support a range of new sensor-based hardware units installed by the exhaust which senses and transmits real-time data of emission with current GPS position of vehicle. Emission data (proportion of CO2, CO, HC and NOx) will be provided as a comparison to emission standards for the country/city, assigned on a vehicle basis. The data and the associated vehicle will be fully connected and will provide live emission readings journey by journey linked with location. This accurate and timely emissions data will be part of a growing eco-system that can be used by the various stakeholders; to prove compliance to contracted emissions declaration for projects, or within specific hot spot urban areas. The customers will be construction projects/sites that are regulated under their planning condition to meet emission criteria. Also key Business Improvement Districts will impose expectations on all vehicle movements in their area. Plus, large organisations especially transport authorities, local authorities and all the vehicles associated with contracts or owned fleets will be expected to be fitted with such units to ensure compliance and reporting on the current emissions footprint. Other clients include road vehicle users required to comply with emission testing, saving against their cost of annual check up fees, from expensive, labour intensive local garage service providers. The objective of the hardware unit would be a mail order delivery and self install process and registration, enabling a simpler and quicker approach to distribution and take up of the service.

Microspray Technologies
MicroSpray Technologies’ mission is to revolutionise particle manufacturing for pharmaceutical and research industries using an innovative, simple and cost-effective spray technology. Currently, biopharmaceutical industries use costly chemical methods to manufacture microspheres, which rely on batch-type processes, have a low throughput and require a lot of bench space. This is costly, having poor processing efficiency (i.e. polymer-to-particle conversion) and the consumption of plastics is very high (i.e. lab consumables). Through support, MicroSpray Technologies will to bring to market multiplexed atomization devices that enable the manufacture of particles at a rate 16x faster and cheaper than current conventional methods. This process is safer, sustainable and economical, with dramatically reduced size complexity. Our device enables reproducible control over particle size and therefore allows clinicians to administer control over the rate at which drugs are delivered to patients, cutting down on repeated administrations currently costing the NHS £700M/year. This platform technology (known as the electrospray) is considered the “holy grail” of particle manufacture in aerosol generation methods and can now provide the sufficient production of polymeric particles for high-value added applications, such as pharmaceutical drug delivery.
Percept Imagery
Percept Imagery are working towards aligning the vision of property developers, architects and artists with that of the buyers through immersive experiences. Our bespoke virtual reality services targeted for each of them make sure that the buyer experience is at the heart of everything they do. By using our expertise to fully utilize this new technology, artists and designers will thrive from the ability to visulaise their plans in incredible detail by virtually stepping into their creations like never before. We will help the construction industry not only win tenders, enhance the design process and boost sales, but most importantly wer allow their clients to share their vision.
Mobilized Construction
Mobilized Construction helps town councils and governments detect and monitor potholes in real-time. We equip fleets like public buses or council vehicles with our proprietary sensors to collect data at 0 extra operation cost. Creating network-wide maps of potholes enables proactive scheduling and bundling of repairs which can reduce costs by up to 35% with a double benefits to improve road safetyt. Mobilized Construction has been recognised in Denmark and the UAE for our work on road repairs.
