Nofence
The world’s first commercial virtual fencing system for livestock.
Nofence’s virtual fencing system combines solar-powered, GPS-enabled collars connected via cellular network to an easy-to-use app, allowing farmers to create and adjust virtual grazing boundaries from their phone, enabling real-time tracking and responsive herd management.
When an animal approaches the boundary, the collar emits sounds that gradually increase in pitch, prompting it to change direction. If the animal continues forward, it receives a mild electric pulse designed to be half as intense as traditional electric fences. Over time, the majority of interactions are resolved with sound alone, resulting in calmer, more predictable grazing behaviour.
This innovation replaces the need for physical fencing, reducing infrastructure and maintenance costs, labour, and environmental impact. By giving farmers greater control over how and where their livestock graze, Nofence helps improve soil health, prevents overgrazing, and supports regenerative land management practices, particularly in remote or environmentally sensitive areas.

Crate.io
Distributed SQL database for real-time industrial data and IoT applications.
The next wave of big data will be generated by IoT (Internet of Things) devices such as sensors, wearables, and vehicles, generating millions of data points per second.
Crate.io was founded to help companies process this data and establish a standard for database developers with its decentralized SQL database for managing machine data and analyzing it in real time. Making traditional central databases obsolete and allowing companies to store their data on different application services, providing simplicity and scalability.
cylib
Sustainable technology for Li-ion battery recycling, for a true circular economy.

cylib
Sustainable technology for Li-ion battery recycling, for a true circular economy.
cylib aims to secure global raw material demands by recycling Li-ion batteries. This is realized by a proprietary, resource-efficient and environmentally friendly end-to-end process. The holistic cylib-process gives commodities another life by treating used batteries and transforming them into marketable raw materials. With cylib’s process, it is possible to recover all battery components. This also includes Lithium and Graphite among other materials that are currently not recovered from batteries in the EU.
The recycling process was developed over many years of research at RWTH Aachen University and contains all the relevant process steps, like mechanical, thermal and chemical treatments to reach high yields.
