Angiodroid SpA is an Italian medical technology company based in San Lazzaro di Savena, Bologna. The company specializes in developing and manufacturing advanced medical devices, with a focus on automatic carbon dioxide (CO2) injection systems for angiography. Angiodroid's flagship product is the first and only automatic CO2 injector authorized for use during peripheral angiography procedures. This innovative technology offers a safer, more cost-effective, and less risky alternative to traditional iodine-based contrast media, particularly beneficial for patients with renal insufficiency. The Angiodroid CO2 injector has received over 30 international certifications, including CE marking for the European market. As of February 2023, the company reported a turnover of EUR 3 million for 2022.
Angiodroid's patented automatic CO2 dosing control system enables safer angiograms with fewer side effects while providing imaging quality comparable to standard methods. The technology eliminates the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury, which affects approximately 30% of patients undergoing traditional angiography procedures. Angiodroid has expanded its product portfolio to include Angiopulse, an innovative IABP console for passive counterpulsation therapy, designed to improve efficacy and patient stabilization.

Angiodroid srl, a medical technology company, focuses on hemodynamics, vascular surgery, and interventional radiology. It offers an automatic injection system for carbon dioxide angiography.

OUR MISSION We are Botanical Explorers seeking the next frontier of plant health benefits while preserving wild biotopes. We firmly believe that medicinal plants deserve a new standard of uncompromising quality, and we are committed to explore their health potential further while respecting the planet. Hence, our two core values: Explore & Respect.  OUR VISION Indoor Precision Farming offers a unique opportunity to sustainably grow potent medicinal plants. We have developed our own indoor farming approach under ultra-clean conditions. Our cultivation facilities are one of the largest vertical farms in Europe. There, by optimizing the growth environment, we ensure that our botanicals reach their full potential in terms of Health benefits, bringing full-spectrum product to the next level, and combining Wild Quality with Lab purity. OUR PRODUCT With more than 3000 years of medicinal tradition and more than 5000 scientific publications about its health benefits, Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng CA Meyer) is, without a doubt, the most precious and revered medicinal plant in the world. At BOTALYS, we are shaping its molecular profile, making our full-spectrum ginseng root powder comparable to a 20 years old wild Korean ginseng specimen. And ginseng is just the first botanical milestone of our journey…

aveni delivers innovative metallization processes that improve device performance and yield, enabling future technologies, today. Their production-ready solutions revolutionize the copper-plating process for damascene and TSV applications critical to semiconductor and MEMS device manufacturing. aveni’s Electrografting (eG™) technology is a wet, electrochemical-based process that enables the growth of extremely high-quality thin films of various types. Chemicalgrafting (cG™) is based on the same fundamental mechanisms as Electrografting, but is used on nonconductive substrates. Both technologies have been successfully demonstrated in manufacturing at and below the 14 nm node, as well as 40:1 aspect ratios. The company was originally founded in 2001 as a spinoff from the Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) to develop and market groundbreaking nanometric deposition technologies for a variety of electronic applications. Since that time, aveni has partnered with several R&D centers, and leading global equipment and device manufacturers on a variety of projects. Based in Massy, France, the company has a strong team of scientists and engineers who excel in the fields of surface science, chemistry, electrochemistry, physics, materials science and semiconductors.

SBA Materials is dedicated to the development of functional porous inorganic and inorganic/organic hybrid materials for a wide range of technologies. Different synthesis and processing conditions allow for a variety of material compositions, structures, and applications. They can be fabricated as thin and thick films, powders, fibers, and even optically clear solid monoliths all consisting of highly ordered mesoporous networks. The resulting surface area is extraordinarily high and can be chemically functionalized, e.g. with organic dyes, quantum dots, magnetic materials, or biomaterials enabling applications ranging from electronics and optics to sensors, catalysts. SBA Materials is located in Albuquerque, NM, at the Science and Technology Park, adjacent to the University of New Mexico and the Sandia National Laboratories Materials Research Center. The facility includes R&D laboratories, offices, and meeting space.
