Lightpoint Medical is a technology company that is a pioneer in developing and marketing precision-guided cancer surgery. Surgeons aren't able to see if the cancerous tissue has been removed in its entirety or not during a surgery. To better this situation, the company has developed an imaging technology based on PET radiopharmaceuticals, more precisely, Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging (CLI), which helps surgeons to detect cancer in a real-time during surgery. The company's first product has received marketing authorisation, i.e., the CE (European Conformity) Mark. A second product, a laparoscopic device for prostate cancer is in development. A non-clinical device has also been released. For its efforts, Lightpoint Medical won the 'Best in Show' Award at the 2014 MedTech Investing Europe Conference. The company aims to utilise the investment to scale its business.

Mootral is a British Swiss agro-technology company that has come up with its patented natural feed supplement that significantly reduces methane emissions from ruminants by up to 38%. It claims that cow burps are the single biggest source of methane apart from the oil and gas sector. Mootral argues that its product addresses the above issue. The company teamed up with its flagship UK partner, Brades Farm, to provide them with Mootral for their cattle. Mootral has also earned carbon credits from enteric methane reduction from cattle, averaging >70 € per credit. The company intends to use this to finance the cost of its ruminant and help governments around the world reduce their emission targets. It has also received support from the Swiss Climate Foundation and featured in press entities such as CNN and Sky News. The company states it will use the investment to reach 10% of today's almost 1 billion industrialised cattle by 2030, hire key personnel and develop more climate-friendly solutions.
