TU/e innovation night: Dream Big, Act Together What do an autonomous rover, sustainable rockets, light objects for social impact and a firefighting drone have in common? They are the creations of tomorrow's innovators - engineers of the future, ready to contribute to solving society's greatest challenges. These creations are not the work of a single genius, but collaborative brainpower, addressing real-world problems where a singular solution is insufficient. At TU/e innovation night, bright minds and the spirit of entrepreneurship came together, in the inspirational environment of TU/e innovation Space students, alumni and experts connected to reimagine a possible future.

New: At a laboratory in a Southern California warehouse, scientist Heng Su unveils what could be a world-changing solution to the global water crisis. The small handheld object looks unremarkable, consisting of stacked white fins that resemble a miniature old-fashioned apartment radiator. But when Su puts the device on a scale, it silently gains weight within seconds. As the minutes pass, it gets heavier and heavier. That’s because the gadget is invisibly gathering water molecules from the surrounding air. A few feet away, four of the water harvesters sit inside a plastic enclosure shaped like a transparent birdhouse. The warm air inside dislodges the H2O molecules from the harvesters and a condenser transforms the water vapor into liquid, which is dripping into a beaker. The technology, called metallic organic frameworks (MOFs), doesn’t require electricity and can produce water with just ambient sunlight. It’s Irvine-based startup Atoco’s vision for how to provide water in an increasingly arid world. This is a lab prototype designed to only produce a few milliliters of water as scientists work to perfect the technology. The company plans on building a full-scale commercial version that could produce thousands of liters of ultrapure water a day for a community. A unit the size of a residential air conditioner could supply water to your home. Free link for seven days: https://lnkd.in/gM7Q4h-3

This paper shows that large tech clusters not only make local inventors more productive but also affect the productivity of inventors and plants in other clusters, which are connected to the focal cluster through their parent firms' networks of innovating plants.

A warm welcome to our six new 2025 Startup Collaborator program members! “By collaborating with forward-thinking startups, we aim to explore new technologies that can bring significant value to our customers in agriculture and construction. We look forward to working closely with these organizations to learn, grow, and drive the future of productive, sustainable, and efficient farming and construction practices," said Jahmy Hindman, our chief technology officer. The 7th cohort includes: Array Labs – A space technology company building the first constellation designed for frequent, high-quality 3D imaging of Earth's entire surface LandScan – A digital twin company fusing proprietary soil and remote sensing signals to generate unique analytical insights for the optimization and management of land and its resources Lidwave – A pioneering 4D LiDAR-on-a-chip developer, providing unprecedented sensing for advanced automation, mapping, and inspection applications Presien – A physical AI company partnering with OEMs to deliver plug-and-play, on-machine solutions that transform worksite safety and productivity ReSim.ai – An embodied AI testing company that automates hardware, simulation and replay evaluations, unlocking safer, faster development for autonomy WiTricity – A trailblazer in wireless charging technology for commercial and passenger vehicles, eliminating the hassle of plug-in charging and setting the stage for future autonomy News release: http://spr.ly/6043ahqpd
