AITHON
We build flying robots for force-intensive tasks! This saves workers lives and improves construction site efficiency. In Switzerland alone, over 9000 construction workers injure themselves severely through falling. AITHON has seen this issue and has created a flying robot to drill holes and perform other manipulative tasks on concrete walls. Not only can we create forces of up to 150 Newton horizontally, but also apply these forces with millimetre-precision. Besides keeping the construction worker out of harms way this can improve efficiency, by eliminating the need for scaffolding. By working on our team, you can apply yourself to many different fields, as we build our own hardware, controlled by our own software! \nIf you are interested in supporting us, feel free to contact us anytime to talk about partnerships!

Ememe
Ememe Town — this is a town where AI characters live freely. With generative AI technology, NPCs (Non-Player Characters) autonomously engage in conversations, take actions, build relationships between characters, and live their everyday lives as they please. You can create a reality drama with AI characters, as if it were the Truman Show, by creating new AI characters living in this town, setting their personalities, and sometimes intervening in their actions. AI automatically generates a daily schedule based on your NPC's personality. They might oversleep, skip meals, rush to school, have silly conversations with friends, come back, stay up a bit late on social media, and then go to sleep... AI generates such daily life of your favorite character. NPC conversations are generated in real-time by LLM. And animations, too! Using our proprietary technology, AI predicts and outputs appropriate facial expressions and body animations from over 1,000 motion data options based on conversations and schedules. Your character will come to life, laugh, dance, and automatically output 3D animations without the need for complex development techniques. You can freely converse with AI characters! By taking on the inner voice of NPCs or becoming other NPCs in conversation, you can influence actions of NPCs. Encourage them to skip school or badmouth their boyfriend... Let’s see what NPCs do! (Don’t go overboard with pranking AI though.) In this town, unexpected events sometimes occur. Meteor collisions, visits from aliens, winning the lottery, murder cases... and you can create these events! Create slightly spicy surprising events and throw NPCs into the whirlwind of confusion. Upload your favorite 3D character models*! Summon your faves to the town as AI NPCs. You can freely set their personalities. Recreate the appearance and essence of your favorite characters! Ememe aims to be a new AI-driven storytelling platform. In the next development phase, we plan to transform Ememe Town an open-world, where a multitude of NPCs coexist. Additionally, we provide users with tools to develop various multiplayer events (game missions) taking place in the town....

Hephaistos
At Hephaistos, we are revolutionising the chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries with our innovative approach to enzyme catalysis. In today's rapidly evolving industries, the demand for efficient and sustainable processes is greater than ever. Conventional chemical synthesis, which is at the core of many industrial processes today, often relies on harsh conditions, toxic reagents and requires substantial energy, making it both environmentally and economically inefficient. However, nature itself presents a solution: enzymes. These natural biocatalysts operate under mild conditions, with high specificity and precision, create minimal by-products, while catalysing the same reactions used in conventional chemical synthesis. Despite their immense potential, suitable enzymes for all industrial applications are not always already found in nature. To solve this problem, we have created Hephaistos, a machine-learning (ML) model that learns from atomistic 3D structure data of existing enzymes. By using cutting-edge tools in protein engineering and bioinformatics, our model will be able to generate novel catalytic cores for any desired reaction – even on substrates not found in nature. We do not compete with existing enzymes, but instead create entirely new ones....
Hier Summts
Insects play a central role in our ecosystems. They are important for pollinating various plants and form a substantial part of the food chain. Unfortunately, the diversity and quantity of insects has declined sharply in recent years and decades. Where they used to hum loudly, they are now silent. There are many reasons for this, ranging from intensification of agriculture to changes in land use patterns to the increasing threat of climate change. It is imperative to protect insects and their diversity. For this reason, Hier Summts is committed to raising awareness about the diversity of insects, their benefits and insect mortality throughout Switzerland by educating members and the general public about the importance of insects to local ecosystems. General knowledge about insect conservation is to be conveyed in as many ways as possible, such as through school visits, excursions and lectures. So far, we have been able to offer various events on entomology and biodynamic viticulture which are open to both members and non-members. Join our events and/or association to learn and discover much more about insects! ...
