display area, which was very helpful since
there are tens of thousands of attendees.
We met with several large corporations
and thought-leaders in the field as a direct
result of the Startup Booster programme.
This is an opportunity not to be missed!",
adds Josh Martin, Co-founder and CEO
of 3D Fortify, also a Startup Booster
Winner in 2017.
- "We are looking for innovative solutions
to optimize the costs of our current production, but also to meet our ambitious
research targets. The robustness of processes throughout the carbon composite
lifecycle, including reuse/recycling, is a
key requirement for successful implementation. Reducing non-value-added operations and increasing process automation
are key parts of this, with both thermoset
and thermoplastic technologies within our
scope of interest", said Jelle Bloemhof,
Head of Composite Manufacturing
Technologies, Airbus.

10 Finalists
Carbon Waters designs and produces carbon-based nanomaterials (graphene and carbon nanotubes). Thanks to its innovation
water-based solution process, the company brings a new paradigm
- safer and stable - to nanocomposites and coatings.

Composite Research brings an innovative technological solution, called MadFlex, for the creation of an ultra-light composite
material panel with unique mechanical features, which makes it
flexible on the one face and crushproof on the other.

Tikat with its In-K strain system offers a new approach to
Structural Health Monitoring. This stand-alone solution is standard and low cost and measures strain, temperature, tilt and seismic
activity for infrastructures with no wiring.

Inca-Fiber has a new electroplating procedure to metallize carbon fibres in a single step using environmental friendly electrolytes to enhance the properties of carbon fibres. Those fibres can
be used to create functional CFRP as well as new fibre reinforced
metals.

Coyotex reduces the spending for multiaxial carbon fibre reinforcement of 20 to 40% thanks to its brand new industrial 4.0
production process. The company produces bespoke carbon fibre
stacks near net shape
N12 Technologies introduces vertically aligned carbon nanotubes at inter laminar interfaces to allow tougher, lighter, and more
durable composite structures.
Synthesites has developed a unique technology for estimating in
real-lime and during production the on-going viscosity and cure
properties of the composite product. This technology enables the
real-time tracking of the manufacturing process, saving time and
energy ensuring product traceability and online process optimisation.

Sound Bounce has developed is a novel patented material which
provides over 100 times improved noise attenuation in a smaller
package compared to conventional materials. This solution could
greatly facilitate the adoption of composites in many sectors.
Adesso Materials solves recycling and reuse requirements of
carbon fibres in the automotive sectors. This solution reduces of
+30% the cost of raw materials and of +50% the manufacturing
cost.
Yoneshima Felt proposes ultrathin sandwiches structures for
smart phone micro-speaker diaphragm. The company has developed high precision ultrathin slicing of foam and high productive
manufacturing system.
