Hoptroff's is a technology entity disrupting the way time is measured in the virtual world. It asserts that its Traceable Time as a Service (TTaaS) is more cost-effective than current solutions, which require clients to set up and operate complex multi-supplier, mixed hardware-software installations. Hoptroff claims that it has onboarded new clients, including a Tier 1 Investment Bank, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has also partnered with the media industry, allowing broadcasters to transfer and re-synchronise large files using IP distribution, with greater ease and at a lower cost. Hoptroff has tied up with global standards setter, Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, (SMPTE) to validate Hoptroff time for SMPTE Precision Time Protocol. It intends to become a contender in a $1.2 billion timing solutions market. Hoptroff will use the investment to accelerate client growth, hire key personnel, ramp up marketing activities, invest in product development, and expand its global timing hub network.

Heat Vault's main focus is pioneering large-scale, long-lasting energy storage by harnessing patented technology to store heat energy underground within rocks. Our subterranean storage system in natural rocks, accessed via deep boreholes, allows cost-effective deposition and retrieval of heat or power as needed.
We've initiated partnerships across the EU and established a collaboration agreement with a Swedish municipal heat utility, potentially leading to a phased construction plan.
Looking ahead, we anticipate substantial growth in the global heating and cooling market, estimated to reach about four trillion dollars by 2050. In Sweden, our calculations suggest a €3.6 billion municipal heat market, with the EU market valued at around €126 billion in 2022.
Our business model involves constructing Heat Vaults for municipal and industrial partners, providing an opportunity for energy arbitrage by storing energy at low costs and utilizing it during high-demand periods.
