We recover and select depleted Li-Ion batteries from electric vehicles and we give them a second life in stationary energy storage systems. Once the batteries have been selected, we build DC energy storage systems with our own BMS (Battery Management System), and we integrate them with commercial power conversion systems.

We have developed a new technology for Thermal Management. Refrigeration of electronics and bateries for electical cars. Our tech is completelly silent and generates savings in weight and volume versus traditional ones. For example, versus fan assisted heat sink our devices are half the weight, half the volume for the same heat transfer needs.

We developed an innovative and efficient production system for recycling plastic lubricating oil packaging, composed of equipment and processes with a granted patent, which completely separates the oil from the ground plastic and the label, in an ecological way: without using any water, without generating waste, and with a cost of 30% less than the water process.

FibreCoat develops and markets high-performance fibre materials. The aluminium basalt fiber "AluCoat" is the first market-ready product. Unlike currently used conductive yarns, AluCoat is thermally and electrically conductive as well as temperature resistant up to 600°C. Compared to pure aluminum fibers, AluCoat can be produced at one-tenth the cost.

We have developed an integrated membrane reactor that solves the H2 transport problem. #1 convert molecules into H2 where the H2 is needed. Instead of transporting H2 , which is difficult, end users can transport molecules with well known supply chains like ammonia or methanol and produce H2 onsite with yields higher than 95%.

Wheelcoin is the first move to earn Web3 solution that rewards users for using sustainable modes of transport. For every 1KG of emissions saved using green transport the user earns a Wheelcoin. Wheelcoin is a cyrpto currency that can be used to access mobility services in Iomob's mobility marketplace (Bolt, Tier, Voi etc.), used to get discounts on EV car or bike subscriptions, donated to green charities, traded or sold for cash.

Mitiga has a scalable SaaS that allows risk takers to protect assets with advanced parametric risk modeling and alternative risk transfer solutions. The team is working with the $3T insurance/re-insurance industry and risk management stakeholders and their initial results have been great.

NÜWIEL’s eTrailer is the world’s first “zero-force” electric trailer for bikes available on the market, which can be used by any person regardless of gender, age or driving skills. Our patented "zero-force" sensor technology enables an automatic and millisecond-precision synchronization with any bike. The eTrailer can move 300kg ensuring safe and comfortable ride for the user. 

Ontruck is a digital road freight platform that offers the most efficient and low-carbon solution to transport goods. Combining data, artificial intelligence and market-leading technology, Ontruck is transforming the €600 billion trucking industry in Europe to reduce transportation costs for shippers, increase earnings for carriers and remove carbon emissions generated from empty trucks.

Zeleros' vehicle combines a unique levitation system with a propulsion system based on a e-powered jet engine, like an electric plane traveling through a tube without wings. This unique combination minimizes infrastructure cost/kilometer and ensures a straight certification journey, as we can use vastly proven aviation standards for the cabin safety systems, and we can cut down the cost of the project in comparison to other alternatives such as maglev inside a tube with space pressure solutions.
