(startupticker.ch, August 07, 2020)

Demonstrating the continued relevance of Swiss ingenuity in the advancement of robotics and cleantech solutions, ETH Zurich spin-off Sevensense and startup Bloom Biorenewables recently awed the judges of the Deutsche Bahn Mindbox and CEE Startup Challenge, respectively, and took home several prizes, including collaboration contracts and investment deals. By leveraging AI, computer vision, and sensors, Sevensense has developed a technology that allows autonomous mobile robots, including forklifts and cleaning machines, to move independently and safely in dynamic indoor and outdoor spaces full of people. Bloom Biorenewables on the other hand transforms plants into renewable materials and energy to substitute detrimental petroleum-derived products, by using a groundbreaking chemical process that is able to convert up to 80% of biomass into a select number of petroleum-like chemicals.
