Xenium Cloud Technologies
Scaling your business shouldn’t mean drowning in cloud bills or hiring expensive DevOps teams. Yet every day, companies like yours waste time and money fixing infrastructure fires instead of focusing on growth. Let’s change that!
You already know the struggle:
🚧 Scaling your high traffic/AI workloads = skyrocketing cloud costs
🚧 DevOps hiring = time-consuming, expensive
🚧 Deployments = slow, error-prone across staging , production incidents, unhappy customers
That’s why we built XePlatform, Platform Engineering as a Product!

Phenaros Pharmaceuticals
Phenaros Pharmaceuticals is a Swedish spin-off from Uppsala University, focused on transforming drug discovery through a cutting-edge AI-first platform. Specializing in phenomics, the company combines large-scale cell morphological profiling with AI and automation to accelerate the identification and repurposing of drugs, particularly for rare diseases. Phenaros’ approach utilizes Cell Painting, a method of detailed, high-content imaging of cells, to capture unique cellular signatures. These profiles enable predictions of a drug’s mechanism of action, target identification, and cellular toxicity.
The company’s platform is powered by a robust AI engine that processes vast amounts of data generated by automated experiments. This AI-driven methodology significantly enhances the speed, efficiency, and safety of the drug discovery process, bypassing the traditional, slow-paced methods. In addition to its own drug discovery pipeline, Phenaros collaborates with pharma and biotech companies, providing them with access to its innovative discovery platform.
Phenaros is committed to automating data collection and leveraging it as a key asset to continually improve its AI algorithms. Their unique, integrated approach leads to faster and more efficient drug development, helping bring treatments to market with fewer resources. By focusing on rare diseases, Phenaros addresses a significant unmet medical need while also aiming to transform the way drug discovery is conducted globally.
Seaqure Labs
Seaqure Labs is revolutionizing the aquaculture and animal feed industry by producing high-quality, sustainable mycoproteins using fermentation technology. By upcycling industrial sidestreams, Seaqure Labs minimizes waste and provides a protein-rich alternative to traditional fishmeal and soy-based feeds.
Their adaptable and circular production model allows localized manufacturing near feed producers, reducing transportation costs and emissions. The company’s mycoprotein ingredients are tailored for aquaculture, pet, and livestock feed, offering superior nutritional value while drastically lowering land and water use compared to conventional protein sources.
By leveraging FDA- and GRAS-approved fungal strains, Seaqure Labs ensures safety and scalability in its fermentation-based approach. The aquaculture sector, which heavily relies on fishmeal and soymeal—both volatile in price and environmentally taxing—can benefit from this cost-effective, sustainable protein source. As global demand for seafood rises, Seaqure Labs is positioned to drive the transition toward a more circular and resource-efficient protein supply chain.
FibreCoat
All areas of our lives from our clothing to communication satellites are based on materials. The higher the volume in these markets, the higher the price pressure. As a result, the best technical solutions cannot be used in mass markets. FibreCoat is changing that. By producing composite fibres at high speeds, we achieve exceptional properties at low cost. Aluminium-coated basalt or glass filaments already available on the market achieve the properties of full metal fibres at one-tenth of the price. This cost advantage makes highly technical applications inexpensive and entirely new products feasible for the first time. These aluminium coated fibres are also an affordable solution for shielding against EM-radiation (5G, Wifi,...). In a world where everything is becoming more and more connected EM-shielding will become a part of our daily lives. We are convinced that continuous progress in material sciences will sustainably improve our environment, our society, and our lives. Therefore, in our pursuit of innovation, we realize sustainable, accessible, and affordable materials for our planet and beyond.
