3Brain
3Brain’s BioCAM system is a new generation high-resolution microelectrode platform. Briefly, the unique capability to spatially and temporally resolve extracellular signals over a large field of view makes the BioCAM platform a unique experimental tool to image spiking, bursting and field potential activities in networks of cultured neurons, in acute preparations of brain tissue or other electrogenic cell cultures such as cardiac tissue preparations. 3Brain’s technology is the result of several years of developments and of experience on CMOS-MEA chips. After years of incubation and further developments at the Swiss Center of Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), 3Brain GmbH was started in February 2011.

ChemAlive
ChemAlive SA serves an online computational chemistry platform that delivers highly accurate analytics for all of chemistry through its managed cloud computing, its in-house automation algorithms and its large-scale database. Through one-button, barrierless, access to state-of-the-art methods in chemical theory, the platform allows for fast and efficient results with up-to-date methodologies useful to experts and non-experts alike in academia, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and contract research (manufacturing) organizations (CR(M)Os). The ultimate goal of ChemAlive SA is to allow the full and automatic calculation of reliable quantum data for molecular properties and synthetic reactions available to all chemists from basic 2D chemical syntax towards the total in silico prediction of chemical processes.

Di.Meliora
The very experienced Di.Meliora team developed a dental implant with unique design. The implant addresses two unsolved issues that are bone augmentation for optimal implant placement and implant surface cleaning in case of inflammation offering superior results in terms of marginal bone level around implant collar.

Headswap
The Headswap makes knowledge transferable by allowing anybody to create, list, manage, and enrol in local courses and classes.

Lambda
Lambda Health System is a spin-off of the School of Business and Engineering of Canton de Vaud, focusing on development, production and commercialization of a rehabilitation robot for the lower limbs. The team developed "the Lambda", a rehabilitation device that offers the freedom of a plan workspace in which the leg can be manipulated throughout almost its entire working area. Because of this quality, various existing and innovative exercices and therapies could be realized without patient transfert between machines, including Serious Games and Virtual Reality applications.
