Revolutionary laparoscopic surgical smoke removal
Revolutionary laparoscopic surgical smoke removal
Alesi Surgical is a leading innovator in the field of minimally invasive surgery technologies. The company has developed UltravisionTM, the world’s first system that eliminates laparoscopic surgical smoke without the need for gas exchange. Ultravision produces a low-energy electrostatic charge that can significantly improve visibility for surgeons by actively eliminating surgical smoke generated by energy-based surgical cutting instruments.
In addition to improved visibility, Ultravision also allows reducing surgery time by almost 20%. Minimizing healthcare professionals’ exposure to surgical smoke is increasingly important worldwide because of health concerns over the risk of long-term exposure. The technology also benefits the patient as it minimizes the amount of cold, dry carbon dioxide gas used during surgery. Excessive use of carbon dioxide leads to cardiovascular problems, complications in anesthesia, post-surgical pain and longer recovery time for the patient.

Justice-as-a-Service platform for enforcing consumer rights
CONNY is Germany’s leading platform for the enforcement of consumer rights. The Berlin-based Legal Tech company was founded in 2016 by lawyer Daniel Halmer launching wenigermiete.de, which today is Germany’s leading platform for tenants’ rights. On the website, tenants can reduce their rent with rent control law (Mietpreisbremse) and defend rent increases and contract terminations. In 2018 CONNY started mehrabfindung.de, a service for financial compensation for unlawful termination of employment. Later in the year, the company launched weniger-internetkosten.de – a service for financial compensation or the termination of DSL-contracts, if the internet provider has failed to provide the promised internet speed. In contrast to traditional law firms, the customers don’t carry any cost risk and don’t have to show up for on-site appointments. Instead, they submit the details of their case within a few clicks. A service fee is only charged when CONNY successfully enforces the claim.

Welcome to a fraud-free world
Welcome to a fraud-free world
Fraugster is a German-Israeli payment security company founded in 2014 by Max Laemmle and Chen Zamir. After years of working in the payments industry, the team experienced first-hand the challenges of fraud for e-commerce merchants. Their journey began with the vision to design and build an anti-fraud technology that could help create a fraud-free world — one where e-commerce merchants would never have to worry about managing risk again.
They found that all existing anti-fraud solutions were built on outdated technologies, insufficient for dealing with sophisticated cyber criminals. Existing rule-based systems, as well as classic machine learning solutions, are expensive and slow to adapt to new fraud patterns in real-time.
Their team of intelligence and payment experts spent the last several years designing a proprietary technology from scratch. The result is an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that not only eliminates payment fraud but also maximizes revenues by reducing false positives.
Fraugster has been operating around the world since 2016 and is currently responsible for tens of billions of dollars in annual payment volumes.

Improved outcomes for cardiac intervention
Improved outcomes for cardiac intervention
Miracor Medical has developed a disruptive therapy for patients with impaired cardiac function. PiCSO® (Pressure-controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion) is designed to improve clinical outcomes in patients affected by large heart attacks, specifically ST-elevation Myocardial Infarcts. PiCSO therapy is used in the cath lab to intermittently increase pressure in the coronary venous system. This leads to improved microcirculatory flow and improved perfusion of the infarcted area, ultimately leading to a smaller residual infarct size after acute myocardial infarction as compared to non PiCSO-treated patients. Decreased residual infarct size after acute myocardial infarction is shown to be directly correlated to reduced mortality and decreased hospitalizations for heart failure. The company has received CE Mark for PiCSO and is preparing for a commercial roll-out.

Tradico offers a non-banking alternative for SMEs to improve working capital management and obtain liquidity. The company acts as an intermediary between buyer and seller, known as “finetrading”. Tradico pays the seller immediately, and grants the buyer an extended payment deadline. For this, Tradico charges interest. Because the seller is paid immediately, he will often grant a trade discount, which offsets the interest the buyer needs to pay to Tradico. The whole process happens online through their software system tradiCORE, which includes a user interface for the customer, automatic risk scoring and generation of credit limits for the customer.
