Multi-Dose IV Delivery Platform
Technology Sectors:
Health & Bio, Medical Devices & Imaging
The Opportunity: Reducing IV Medication Errors and Infection Risk | Intravenous medication administration is essential to modern healthcare, yet frequent IV-line access creates opportunities for medication errors, contamination, and bloodstream infections. Current practice often requires multiple syringes, repeated line manipulations, and complex workflows that increase risk in emergency, critical care, and other high-pressure clinical settings.

AI-Enabled Drug Discovery Platform
Technology Sectors:
AI & Data Science, Health & Bio
The Opportunity: Unlocking Previously “Undruggable” Diseases | Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) drive many of the biological pathways involved in cancer, autoimmune disorders, and other serious diseases. Yet many PPIs remain difficult to target because of their complexity and dynamic behavior. As pharmaceutical companies increasingly invest in AI-enabled drug discovery, there is growing demand for platforms that

Respiratory Therapeutic for Chemical Exposure Emergencies
Technology Sectors:
Health & Bio
The Opportunity: Addressing a Critical Preparedness Gap | Chlorine is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals in the world and is a leading cause of toxic inhalation exposure. Accidental releases, transportation incidents, industrial accidents, and intentional misuse can result in serious lung injury, respiratory distress, and death. Despite the ongoing risk, there is

Low‑Cost Surface Alloying for Copper & Brass Castings
Technology Sectors:
Industrial Technologies
Improving corrosion resistance and safety in critical metal components This technology enables foundries to produce safer, more durable copper and brass components by selectively upgrading surface performance. It improves corrosion resistance and reduces lead leaching using existing foundry processes—delivering higher‑quality products without changing bulk alloys or investing in new equipment.

Secure‑by‑Design AI for Edge Devices
Technology Sectors:
AI & Data Science
Protecting real‑world AI before it’s exploited As AI moves onto cameras, robots, and sensors, security must be built in—not bolted on. By embedding protection directly into edge operation, this on‑device software helps defend against malicious attacks, reducing risk and enabling broader, safer adoption of AI beyond controlled environments.
