A patent offered by a Spanish research centre is based on splitting the juice by centrifugation in a
major fraction with low pulp content and a pulpy fraction. The first one is pasteurised at low
temperature with the objective of destroying microorganisms while keeping the fresh taste of the
juice; the pulpy fraction receives a stronger treatment. Both fractions are joined together under
hygienic conditions before packaging. They look for a company to license the technology.
A German mid-sized flour miller and bakery supplier has developed a highly innovative egg-replacer to
be used in cake batter or ice cream for the baking and food industry. Among others a high pentosan
and high protein fraction from rye with outstanding technological properties has been introduced
lately. Suspensions of the product in water can be whipped to form foams or emulsify oil to result in a
stable mayonnaise-like consistency. They are looking for a joint venture or technical cooperation.
A research group from a Spanish public research institute has developed several technologies to
obtain different minimally processed vegetable foods. The technologies combine physical methods
with natural chemical preservatives to keep the organoleptic, nutritional and microbial quality of
products under refrigeration. The technologies are cheap and easy to implement. Companies from
the agrofood sectors are sought for technical cooperation agreements.
An Israeli SME has developed a machine for extracting arils from pomegranate fruits. Advantages over
devices on the market include its small size, no water consumption, and no need for air pressure in
the technological process. The company is looking for strategic partners interested in joint ventures
for further common development of a home machine and marketing the technology offered.
An Italian public organization, involved in technological energy and environmental projects, in
cooperation with university research centres, has developed new eco-compatible methods to treat
phytophagous which limit some cultivation in the south of Italy, useful for each agricultural area.
Licence, commercial agreement with technical assistance and financial resources are sought.
A Scottish company has developed a range of technologies for the commercial breeding/propagation
of Bluefin Tuna, and is suitable for hatchery development in countries that have a failing fishing
industry or the selling-on of the juveniles to existing tuna farming facilities that currently use the
diminishing wild stocks for their juvenile supply. Contact is welcome from organisations interested in
funding development, facility licensing or joint venture/collaboration of this technology.
A Dutch university has developed a new series of easily deformable vesicles with elastic membranes
entirely based on surfactants. These elastic vesicles are very promising candidates for topical
application of moderate hydrophilic drugs that can be bound to the vesicles, partitioning very fast
into the horny layer of the skin together with the vesicle bound drug compared to rigid conventional
vesicles. The organisation is looking for partners for technical cooperation to test new applications.
A research group from Barcelona has a large experience on gene and cell therapy by using stem cells.
They have developed a non-invasive technique to track stem cells after brain transplantation. This
technique can be used on neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington’s disease. The group is looking
for a partner from industry or academia to establish technical cooperation or research collaboration.
A major Italian charity has developed new methods for preventing, inhibiting, and/or reversing ocular
neovascularisation in mammalian subjects by interfering with the Hedgehog signalling pathway. Ocular
neovascularisation is responsible for many diseases, including age-related macular degeneration,
diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, and retinal vein occlusion. Partners should develop
drugs/compounds/vector-based gene delivery systems for treatment of the above-mentioned diseases.
A research group at a UK university has developed a novel, scaleable and widely applicable system for
deriving and propagating neural precursor cells from human embryonic stem cells without the use of
animal products, proprietary formulations or genetic manipulation. Partners for licensing and further
development are sought.
The south German SME is a manufacturer for routine medical use. It developed the first standardised
method to process high and low speed handpieces, contra angles and turbines manually for dental
use. The solution is used for the gentle, easy disinfection of water- and airways. It is the first company
which proofed the disinfection inside these channels of dental instruments directly. The company is
looking for licensees throughout Europe.
A team of researchers at a Russian medical university has developed an extractor for removal of
urethral calculus. The extractor can be used in urinology and urologic surgery. The advantages are
effective urethral calculus removal and fewer complications due to poor kidney drainage and tissue
damage common in other approaches; the extractor offers a possibility of using lithotripsy without
damaging the tissues. The team is looking for partners to develop production and sales.
ELECTRONICS, IT AND TELECOMMS
A Scottish university has developed a new reflective bi-stable liquid crystal display which requires power
only to change a displayed image. The technology is therefore ideal for largely static advertising uses,
and in addition requires no backlighting due to its reflective properties. It can operate independently
from connected power sources. Interest in licensing or joint further development is welcomed.
A research group from the Electronics Department of a Spanish university has developed a robot that,
by recognising words from different people, identifies the speaker announcer and executes the
necessary movements to gather and deliver the set of instruments used in a surgical operation. The
robot acts as a surgical instrumentalist. The group is looking for partners for license agreements or
commercial agreements with technical assistance.
A Canarian university has developed a phase camera for tomographical 3D spatial object and distance
measurements, with application to different fields such us industry, robotics, astrophysics,
photography, ophthalmology diagnosis or even the movie industry. The university is looking for
companies or centres to establish license agreements.
