Algen

AlgEn is a micro SME specialized in development and system integration of algae technology based systems providing consulting and engineering services. Main activities include pilot and prototype scale algal biomass production and algal-bacterial wastewater treatment, particularly biogas digestate. AlgEn was established in 2010 by four partners. Annual turnover for 2013 was close to 150 k€. Internal biobased production was limited to a Spirulina test production in 2012 (600 m2) and algal (or algal bacterial) biomass production in pilot and demonstration waste water treatment plants. Present R&D is focused on biogas digestate treatment using algal bacterial process for recycling nutrients, CO2 and producing algal biomass for various uses, including biogas feedstock. This is the core of the AlgaeBioGas project (http://algaebiogas.eu/) which is an Eco-innovation pilot and market replication project. AlgEn operates a modestly equipped lab for photobioreactor testing, culture growth and analysis. Some pilot plant construction and operation is facilitated by own electronics and mechanical workshop, with many activities also outsourced to partners. Some software development is done in-house. AlgEn is strongly connected to many academic and commercial institutions and is interested in cooperation. Occasionally AlgEn hosts educational activities connected to algae technology. Future plans include: • active participation in the research area of algal technology • market algal-bacterial treatment of biogas digestate and feedstock production • renewed (moved) algae production for human consumption (including, but not limited to Spirulina) that will be organized with partners. This facility will also aim to higher value products, like phycocyanin from Arthrospira, astaxantin from Haematococcus and carotenoids from Dunaliella.

Mycomedica D.O.O

MycoMedica is one of the leading independent European producers and suppliers of medicinal mushrooms and food supplements. For the past 15 years, we have been researching and developing technologies for cultivating medicinal mushrooms and processing them into high-quality food supplements. Our concept is to cultivate and process mushrooms to final products completely independently, in an environmentally friendly manner, on the highest quality level for our consumers. We have complete control over the whole production process, from the initial fungal culture and composition of the mushroom growth substrate, to the methods of final mushroom processing into food supplements. Since we control every aspect of the manufacturing process and the products are regularly tested, we completely guarantee the quality of our products. Our production is environmentally friendly, which means we only use recyclable materials, our premises are heated exclusively with renewable wood biomass and all fungal substrates are composted after use, for cultivating garden crops. Moreover, in the manufacturing process we do not use any chemical preparations, but only everyday cleaning products. Our food supplements from medicinal mushrooms are supplied in bulk to many pharmaceutical companies, at home and abroad, which are used in their products. In addition, for some companies we also customarily manufacture products for their own brand labels. Our trademark GOBA® comprises high-quality products from medicinal mushrooms for human use and pets. These are marketed by national as well as international distributers. We are one of the leading European manufacturers who cultivate mushrooms 100% organically. Our products are made exclusively from our own raw materials and materials of a 100% European origin. Thus, we support European suppliers and avoid the import of inexpensive non-quality raw materials. The mushrooms used in our products are cultivated in a clean rural environment, according to the European Union guidelines for organic production. Our own development and technology of production guarantee high quality and traceability of the entire manufacturing process – from culture cultivation and processing to the final product. Thus, we ensure that our products do not contain any harmful microbes nor pesticides and heavy metals, which wild mushrooms readily absorb from their natural environment. On the other hand, cultivated mushrooms provide themselves with what they need the most. Using these products, we help restore balance and well-being. Our products are primarily customised to the needs and health issues of our clients. According to their requests we have chosen the best methods of mushroom cultivation, the most appropriate raw materials and the most convenient packaging. Our high-quality products are the result of continuous biotechnological research and development carried out in collaboration with various national and international research institutions. The efficiency and the quality of our products, which is regularly examined by independent laboratories, as well as the fact that they have a 100% organic origin and are 100% manufactured in the European Union, is what allows different pharmaceutical companies to use them in their own brands of food supplements. At all times, we strive to offer only products that improve the quality of well-being and health of humans as well as animals as much as possible. We offer you a 100% natural and a 100% reliable way of helping your body and yourselves.

Ctgct

For most rare diseases and cancers, there are no effective cures yet. Remarkable advances in the field of life sciences promise to cure the cause of many diseases in the years to come. Advanced treatment approaches such as gene and cell therapies are highly effective because they are targeted, tailored to individual patients or groups of patients, and can even lead to a lasting cure. The approach to each patient is central to the development of new therapies. Access to the latest treatment methods is particularly important at this time. At the CTGCT Centre of Excellence, we will develop gene and cell therapy technologies, and work to bring advanced medicines to clinical trials for diseases for which we do not yet have effective treatments. This is to improve survival possibilities and quality of life for patients. Co-funded by the European Union, this project has received funding from Horizon Europe (grant agreement No. 101059842) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the UK government’s Horizon Europe funding guarantee (grant number 10069462). Views and opinions expressed are of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Research Executive Agency (REA).
