Lux Research Highlights Top 10 Innovative Companies From 2015
Brain-Computer Interfaces, Advanced Water Treatment, Cybersecurity, and More, Present New Business Opportunities Based on Lux's Ongoing Emerging Technology Scouting
(firmenpresse) - BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 12/22/15 -- Leading emerging technology research firm profiled 1,189 companies across 20 different emerging technology domains during 2015 as part of its ongoing intelligence services. Drawing on the deep domain expertise of its analysts, Lux Research uses primary research to provide information and analysis on firms developing emerging technologies that impact global megatrends like energy and infrastructure, health and wellness, and information meets matter.
Each firm gets a "Lux Take" that ranges from "Strong Caution" to "Strong Positive," to provide a bottom-line assessment of its prospects, with a "Wait and See" rating for companies that still face too much uncertainty for a definitive call. As the end of the year approaches, Lux analysts selected the 10 companies profiled in 2015 that are poised to make a significant impact on their target industries.
1. (Positive - BioElectonics; Sensors) -- NeuroSky develops a number of bioelectrical signal detection and processing systems, most notably its electroencephalography (EEG) sensors that have enabled mind-reading brain-computer interface devices like Uncle Milton's .
2. (Positive - Water) -- In addition to providing significant reductions in energy consumption, sludge production, and overall footprint for wastewater treatment, Organica builds low-cost greenhouses around its treatment plants to reduce odor, allowing it to locate plants closer to wastewater sources and enabling cost-effective reuse within cities.
3. (Strong Positive - Connected Objects and Platforms) -- PFP uses a physics-based approach to detecting cyber threats by analyzing the electrical patterns of processors, ideal for securing for Internet of Things (IoT) devices that can't support modern security software or are limited by memory or compute constraints.
4. (Positive - Advanced Materials) -- 3D printing is best known for producing customized but pricey plastic pieces -- Norsk's plasma arc deposition allows it to 3D-print parts from titanium that are up to 70% cheaper than those made via conventional machining methods, due to greater material utilization.
5. (Positive - Food & Nutrition) -- Offering genetic testing to provide individualized recommendations on seven specific dietary components, Nutrigenomix is a step in the right direction for personalized nutrition.
6. (Positive - Alternative Fuels) -- Biojet fuel and renewable diesel are going to be major plays in 2016 and Fulcrum is well positioned to make both fuels from municipal solid waste (MSW) -- it has strong partnerships along its entire value chain, and is the only Fischer-Tropsch biojet process developer with proven production at some scale.
7. (Positive - Exploration and Production) -- The use of lasers in the oil and gas industry isn't widely known, but Hungarian player Zerlux is a leader, with high-powered lasers for well stimulation, hard-scale removal, and subsea pipeline remediation.
8. (Positive - Sensors) -- As the number of sensors in products from cars to mobile phones continues to grow, sensor fusion -- integrating the interpretation of data from different sensors -- is becoming more critical; strategic relationships with Bosch, Atmel, and ARM position Hillcrest to be a dominant player in this market.
9. (Wait and See - Intelligent Buildings, Sustainable Building Materials) -- More efficient electrostatic filters from ENS Europe can help clean indoor air, much like a HEPA filter does, but the technology has the potential to scale up to clean smog and address other city-wide air quality issues.
10. (Positive - Agro Innovation) -- Finding successful business models for precision agriculture , but AgDNA has been able to get traction licensing its technology -- which integrates data from existing equipment into a decision-support system for growers -- to OEMs like John Deere.
See the that made "Honorable Mention."
