Beyond Scroll and Emovo Care get FIT Boost

Beyond Scroll: the green hydrogen efficiency booster

Beyond Scroll envisions a world where green hydrogen satisfies our global energy needs and eliminates our dependence on fossil fuels. As of today, hydrogen production efficiency is the main friction point in the widespread use of this energy carrier worldwide. Beyond Scroll’s novel oil-free compressors offer an efficient and affordable solution to this problem.

Their innovative products pivot on their patent-pending spinning scroll technology and can efficiently compress hydrogen (as well as other gases) at low pressure without contaminating it. This lowers the amount of energy needed to produce green hydrogen and makes it more cost competitive, thus fostering the growth of the required infrastructure.
Beyond Scroll’s compressors can serve several applications: hydrogen distribution, hydrogen refuelling stations, compressed energy storage systems and any green hydrogen production installation. The startup can also offer solutions for off-grid energy production and storage systems, carbon sequestration, e-mobility, and aerospace.

With the CHF 100’000 Tech Seed loan from FIT, Beyond Scroll will build its own manufacturing facilities and bolster the development of its flagship product tailored to hydrogen towards first pilots planned for 2024.

Emovo Care: groundbreaking wearable hand exoskeleton for stroke patients

Emovo Care is at the forefront of medical technology with its innovative hand exoskeleton tailored for patients suffering from neurological or orthopaedic injuries. This groundbreaking device will seamlessly integrate therapy into daily life, offering quantified metrics and intuitive non-invasive controls such as brain-based control. With two patents safeguarding its design, the exoskeleton boasts strong closing and opening forces and unparalleled portability.

Coupled with a companion app, Emovo Care’s product will be the first device that can treat and measure, which means patients can do therapy while pursuing their daily life.

With the CHF 100’000 Tech Seed loan from FIT, Emovo Care has two objectives: to validate its device on the market and establish proof-of-concept sales streams. In particular, the startup aims at obtaining the CE mark and producing the first paid pilots by the end of 2023.
