RheoCarti is developing titanium–hydrogel orthopedic implants designed to reproduce the low friction and shock absorption of natural joint cartilage.

Stellar Alpina is developing rotating-detonation rocket engines and in-space propulsion systems for satellite mobility and future orbital logistics. Its engine uses a continuously propagating detonation wave to generate thrust; after completing an early hot-fire test in Switzerland, the company is developing the technology toward flight-capable propulsion hardware.
