Incubatees

Xylene GmbH

The Reutlingen-based start-up Xylene was also admitted to the ESA BIC in Reutlingen and started its one-year incubation period on 16 December 2019. The founders Christopher Edwards and Giuseppe Benenati offer a blockchain solution for companies who obtain their product in critical markets that transparently represents the entire value creation process from logging to processing. The solution is particularly effective for industrial sectors that are potentially in contact with conflict minerals. Xylene’s service makes the fair and sustainable use of materials visible.

SwarmLogistics GmbH

In the selection round on November 12, 2019, the Suttgarter start-up SwarmLogistics GmbH successfully managed to be admitted to the ESA BIC Baden-Württemberg. The company offers logistics companies a technical solution to avoid empty journeys and to make optimal use of the loading area of the trucks. Using algorithms, they connect the vehicle fleets of a company with each other and thus achieve the optimum utilization of their capacities for their customers.

AridGreen Technologies Gbr

The start-up AridGreen Technologies of founder Dr. Avdesh Chaudhary is also included. The company uses artificial light conditions originally developed for space to create optimal conditions for plant growth. Due to special light wavelengths, the plants can also grow in the dark. An AI-based algorithm also shows the user what needs the plant has, e.g. the supply of fertilizer light or irrigation.

Alb Radmanufaktur GmbH

The start-up Alb Radmanufaktur GmbH has been part of ESA BIC Baden-Württemberg since the end of January 2020. The team around Caroline and Ulrich Füllemann develops a trike that is ergonomic and tilts with the body in the corners and adapts to it. In addition, it has an electric drive and is therefore addressed to all age groups. The use of GNSS offers various additional functions – it serves as safety and theft protection, as an emergency and motivation system and as an energy optimizer for the electric drive to support the cyclist.

Vioonic GmbH

The start-up Vioonic from Reutlingen was admitted to the ESA BIC Baden-Württemberg in Reutlingen on 18 March 2020. The young entrepreneur Barry Fogarty is developing an encrypted real-time communication service for the exchange of confidential information, especially in the medical field. The application is also equipped with a location capability, so that it can be tracked when and where the user received and viewed the information.

Blackpin GmbH

The start-up Blackpin GmbH has been Incubatee at the ESA BIC location in Reutlingen since May 2020. The Aalen-based company is developing an encrypted messenger app with integrated location function, which allows information to be sent in a data-protected manner. The app is primarily intended for the business sector, where the encrypted transmission of information is essential.

AR Experts GmbH

The company AR Experts GmbH was also successfully incorporated on 18 March 2020. The start-up realizes augmented reality solutions for companies to be able to map processes and work steps on production machines with smart devices. This allows employees to have digital access to the required information about the work process on site and allows them to store company knowledge in a decentralised manner. Employee training and further education measures can also be carried out easily and easily on the smart devices.

Heliopas.ai GmbH

The start-up Heliopas.ai was also included in the selection round on March 18, 2020. Ingmar Wolff’s team analyses the soil moisture of agricultural land using Sentinel 1 and 2 satellite data. Their high-precision analysis reaches up to a resolution of 10m. This enables them to make predictions about the state of the arable land and the plants growing on it, and what measures need to be taken.

ConstellR

Since 15 June 2020, the startup ConstellR has been part of ESA BIC at the site in Friedrichshafen, Baden-Württemberg. The company visualizes high-resolution temperature data based on existing satellite images and computer simulations. Remote sensing data in thermal infrared (TIR) makes an important contribution to agricultural information management. The estimation of evapotranspiration, which is possible by TIR observations, describes the loss of water to the atmosphere. It is composed of evaporation, which indicates the moisture content of the upper soil layers, and the transpiration of plants, which is closely related to the water content in the deeper root layer.

Asvin GmbH

Since 15 December 2020, the Stuttgart-based startup Asvin GmbH has been part of the ESA BIC Baden-Württemberg. The founders support IoT operators in recording and controlling devices, providing a solution for managing updates and monitoring the cybersecurity status over the entire lifecycle of devices. Confidential Company knowledge can thus be protected against cyber-attacks.

DeepCare GmbH

The startup DeepCare GmbH from Stuttgart has been part of the ESA BIC Baden-Württemberg since February 5, 2021. At the Reutlingen site, the company led by Dr. Milad Geravand and Simon Fiechtner is developing a digital health assistant that ensures that the user is in the right sitting position and moves regularly in the office or home office. Using a lidar sensor, the upper body of the user is displayed on a small screen and the 3D depth information is analyzed using artificial intelligence to derive optimal recommendations for action.

Woodkrew

WoodKrew has also been part of ESA BIC Baden-Württemberg since 16 February 2021. Also at the Reutlingen site, the startup is developing an application in the field of forest monitoring to give forest owners precise statements about the nature and condition of their forests. By means of an offshell antenna, the predictions can be made centimetre-accurate, even if there is no reception through the leaf cover.

Black Engine Aerospace GmbH

Since 15 February 2021, Black Engine Aerospace has also been part of ESA BIC in Baden-Württemberg. The company around the two founders Markus Ortelt and Oliver Thirsty dive deep into space development – with the development of a new rocket propulsion using ceramic composites, they make rocket engines cheaper, safer and more fatigue-resistant. They also focus on sustainability, because the engines should be reusable.

Waldstolz

The startup Waldstolz is part of the ESA BIC Baden-Württemberg since July 15, 2021. The two founders Fabian Popp and Tobias Jäger are developing a platform to protect local forests from pests. Using satellite data, predictions are made for agriculture as to which trees in the forest are infested and therefore need to be cut down.

Sentrisense GmbH

The startup Sentrisense GmbH around founder Sebastian Cerone has been part of the ESA BIC Baden-Württemberg at the Reutlingen site since August 3, 2021. The startup develops a small smart device that can be attached to power lines with an eyelet to measure their effectiveness and condition as well as to locate possible damage caused by storms or fires.

Medicalvalues GmbH

The startup medicalvalues from Karlsruhe is part of the ESA BIC in Reutlingen from the 8th September 2021 on. During their incubation time the founders are working on their AI-software for medical diagnosis. The software tool gives doctors the possibility to get support in making diagnosis for patients which includes weather data and habitat conditions by introducing and analysing satellite data.

Klaus Space Transportation GmbH

The startup founded by Sebastian Klaus is part of the ESA BIC Baden-Württemberg since 20th October 2021. The vision is to offer 24/7 space access at minimum cost and maximum environmental protection. The team develops a parachute which makes it possible for launch provider to reuse their rockets by bringing the rocket stages in a safety way back to earth. This system is enabled by an easy to use plug & play system. For the futur the startup plan to offer the service of a complete package of cargo transport into and from space.
