🏷️Labelled for success - https://hubs.ly/Q02Zj0Kc0 #OurImperial startup and Imperial Enterprise Lab alumnus PulpaTronics has raised £430,000 in pre-seed funding to begin pilot trials of its low-cost, recyclable RFID tags. Traditional radio-frequency identification tags used for inventory control in fashion and other retail sectors contain metal, a silicon chip and plastic, making them a nightmare to recycle. PulpaTronics has a plan to get the same functions from paper alone, helping retailers and packaging companies reduce costs, recycle more and cut down on carbon emissions. Pulpatronics won the Venture Catalyst Challenge's Consumer and Creative track in 2023, and also participated The Greenhouse accelerator from Undaunted: Tackling climate change with innovation and Cranfield University's Future Frontiers Fund prior to their latest achievement. 🎉Congratulations to Chloe So, Barna Soma Biro and everyone involved.

💵🧠 Minted a million to develop less invasive neural implants https://hubs.ly/Q02Y9NLM0 MintNeuro, an Imperial spinout developing semiconductor technology for minimally invasive neural implants, has closed a £1 million funding round led by Empirical Ventures, including support from Imperial College Enterprise Fund and MedTech SuperConnector. This fundraise will enable MintNeuro to advance the development of their low-power semiconductor chips, making implants smaller, more efficient, and accessible, thus significantly reducing the need for invasive surgical procedures. By accelerating innovation, MintNeuro aims to make neural implants a practical solution for conditions like epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and dementia by working with partners like Amber Therapeutics, Innovate UK and Imperial College London. 🎉Congratulations to Timothy Constandinou, Dorian Haci, PhD and everybody involved!
