Better treatment of particularly aggressive cancers in the lungs, heart and pancreas: The Berlin startup PRAMOMOLECULAR is working on this with the help of innovative siRNA drug candidates (small interfering RNAs) that down-regulate the cancer protein. This gene silencing was previously only possible in the liver - the young biotechnology company is making it possible in other organs as well.

Enabling the energy turnaround for apartment buildings: The Munich-based startup implements the construction of photovoltaic systems with the help of their innovative hardware and digital services. For the first time, they offer a profitable alternative to current tenant electricity concepts. As a one-stop shop, PIONIERKRAFT enables an all-round carefree package without administrative effort and integrates PV, heat and mobility applications for optimal decentralised energy use.

Innovative technologies for the production of sustainable packaging. With PapairWrap, the three founders of Papair have developed a bubble wrap made of 100% recycled paper with comparable cushioning properties to conventional bubble wrap. The use of PapairWrap achieves a significant CO2 reduction and saves plastic waste. The production process does not require any additional adhesives. This makes the product completely biodegradable.

Making the smallest impurities and pollutants visible more quickly - this is what the four-member founding team of NanoStruct makes possible with their precisely reproducible nanostructures. These bring greater sensitivity and reliability in the analysis of dangerous substances and thus ensure greater safety in relevant sectors such as biotechnology or environmental analysis.

Helping women and couples with their desire to have children in four simple steps - quickly, smartly and digitally. This is what the team of LEVY Health, a Berlin startup, wants to achieve and thus close the care gap in fertility medicine.
