Airmony by TBiom

Airmony, a compact solution helping people affected by sleep apnea, raised approximately €250,000 via crowdfunding to start commercial production of the first systems.

Enviro-Cool (V-Tex)

Developed in collaboration with Heineken, V-Tex is an innovative energy-saving cooling technology with €4.83 million of investment secured. It is currently being tested by several UK and international distribution partners.

Airmony by TBiom

Airmony is a super-portable, efficient, and effective Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device. It allows people suffering from sleep apnea (cessation of breathing during sleep) to have constantly open airways via mild positive pressure. Since current oxygenation devices are bulky, restrictive and not portable, the device addresses a major customer need. It is easy to use and equipped with a longer-life battery.

TBiom has raised approximately €250,000 to start commercial production of the first systems.

Enviro-Cool (V-Tex)

A novel product V-Tex helps to chill the drinks on demand and store them at ambient temperatures, with increased efficiency and reduced energy cost. This addresses a major need within the beverage industry as current devices are slow, hefty and energy intensive, requiring 24/7 operation to keep drinks chilled.

V-Tex was developed in collaboration with Heineken. In 2014, the product was invited to Academy Awards to chill drinks for the stars and featured on the popular Channel 5 programme ‘The Gadget Show’. It is currently being tested by several UK and international distribution partners.

Commercialisation stages:

Phase 1. FP7 funding (€930,000) raised for R&D to test a range of rapid cooling methods, develop a proof of concept, secure patent protection for the technology and deliver a stage 1 prototype to demonstrate the technology.

Phase 2. H2020 funding (€1.3 million) secured to continue R&D and develop more advanced applications of the technology for high-turnover retail environments.

Phase 3. €2.6 million of investment secured to take V-Tex to market. Market research conducted to establish the most suitable first application of the technology and development from the prototype stage to the finalised product and launch. Sales & PR strategy planned and implemented.
