Lightricity is an environmental impact focused company aiming to eliminate the need for battery proliferation in many applications of IoT which threaten to add billions to trillions of batteries to environmental waste. We enable organisations wishing to realise the benefits of IoT and wireless technologies to do so without the scalability and cost challenges of battery change as well as the sustainability impact. Lightricity is based in the Oxford Science Park and has patented novel indoor photovoltaic technology (PV) material structures, manufacturing processes and power management architectures that enable entirely battery-free devices. This PV, already in volume production, is six times more efficient at harvesting indoor light (LED, fluorescent) than competing options including at much lower light levels and over a much wider temperature range. This has changed the possibilities on what can now be practically powered. It has enabled us to develop a range of entirely light-powered battery-free devices including asset tracking tags, sensor devices and indoor navigation beacons that have been deployed in UK hospitals, industrial and retail applications.

Nucleome Therapeutics is decoding the dark matter of the human genome to uncover novel ways to treat disease. The dark genome holds more than 90% of disease-linked genetic variants whose value remains untapped, representing a significant opportunity for drug discovery and development. The Company has the unique ability to link these variants to gene function and precisely map disease pathways. Nucleome’s cell type-specific platform creates high resolution 3D genome structure maps and enables variant functional validation at scale in primary cell types, enabling the discovery and development of novel, better and safer drugs. The initial focus of the company is on lymphocytes and related autoimmune disease. Nucleome’s ambition is to build a robust pipeline of drug assets, with corresponding biomarkers. Nucleome Therapeutics was founded by leading experts in gene regulation from the University of Oxford.

Quantum Dice is an award-winning spinout from the University of Oxford.  Leveraging its patented source-device independent self-certification (DISC™) protocol developed at the University of Oxford, Quantum Dice is developing the first compact, high-speed and continuously self-certifying quantum random number generator (QRNG). Self-certification is a feature which enables a real-time and reactive health check of the encryption key generator instead of the retrospective and static entropy tests that are currently used across the security industry. This is important for both existing classical and quantum security systems.  Quantum Dice is creating standards for QRNGs alongside the UK’s National Physical Laboratory and is currently working with customers to integrate QRNGs into security systems for a wide range of applications, from protecting terrestrial Internet of Things (IoT) networks to satellite communication systems.
