We're excited to be listed as one of the top European startups to watch in Drug Discovery by Sifted! It's inspiring to see the progress made in this space. We will be sharing more news about our own soon, stay tuned! If you work on vaccines or immunotherapy development, contact us! We're always happy to talk and discuss how we could collaborate. Let's create a future where we can combat any disease, together! #techbio #drugdiscovery #cancer #AI

Europe is back in space! Our portfolio company, Orbital Matter, is part of the mission. With a total thrust of 26,000,000 horsepower and a top speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour, Ariane 6 successfully completed its maiden mission on Tuesday. Building the rocket was a massive European team effort involving 600 companies from 13 countries. We are incredibly excited because our portfolio company, Orbital Matter, is part of the mission and has successfully deployed its first 3D printer into space. Jakub Stojek attended the launch at the hub in French Guiana. Robert Ihnatisin, the other co-founder, and I participated in the launch event at the Embassy of Bremen in Berlin (see picture). I love SpaceX, but it's great to see alternatives emerge. This will help increase European sovereignty and encourage more innovation through competition. A big week for Europe, Orbital Matter, and Sunfish Partners!

We’ve launched our first 3D printer into space! 🚀 From concept to space in just 6 months, #Replicator1 was successfully deployed from #Ariane6 on its maiden flight, which means our main mission objective of validating our technology for launch has been achieved! 💫 Over the next few weeks we will attempt to initiate contact with our satellite and try to conduct our bonus objective of testing our printers in orbit. While we hope to perform a successful demo on the first try, our iterative development process includes plans for up to 5 CubeSat missions in the #Replicator series, with each mission improving our product. 🛰 If you want to join us on this amazing journey, feel free to get in touch as we are assessing launch opportunities for the upcoming missions and always looking for talented people to work with!

Why sunfish? A question we hear frequently. Here's why we chose this peculiar fish as our name giver. 🐟 When setting up our company in 2016, we brainstormed names. We looked at the animal kingdom for inspiration and became aware of the ocean sunfish (Mola mola). Its incredible growth and resilience instantly inspired us. 🐟 Known for being the heaviest bony fish in the world, the ocean sunfish can grow from a tiny larva measuring less than 2.5 millimeters (0.1 inches) and weighing less than a gram to an adult weighing up to 2,268 kilograms (5,000 pounds) and reaching lengths of up to 3 meters (10 feet)—a growth rate unmatched in the vertebrate world. Check out the picture below to see how it compares to a diver. 🐟 The sunfish's ability to grow over 60 million times its original size resonates with our vision for the startups we support. This extraordinary transformation perfectly mirrors the journey we want our portfolio companies to take: start small and scale rapidly. 100 to 1,000 times is fine; it doesn't even have to be 60 million times ;) Sources and further reading: https://lnkd.in/e4jzyhAr; https://lnkd.in/eQNgvyvA; https://lnkd.in/e7SfXeMt; https://lnkd.in/eXRc-RE4 Picture credit: Daniel Botelho/Barcroft Media via Getty Images

We've been listed by Sifted as one of the most promising Europe's early stage spacetech startups to watch - and we couldn't agree more! Follow us as we continue to progress with our 3D printing technology and bring in-space manufacturing to life. Stay tuned for more updates on our journey! 🛰️

Orbital Matter is our portfolio spotlight of the month. They aim to build space infrastructure in the orbits of the Moon, Mars, and Earth. 🚀 Their proprietary 3D printing technology enables them to miniaturize and simplify payloads launched on rockets to space and maximize the size of the structures 3D printed in space. 🚀 Their first product will replace some existing satellite parts, offering up to 20x volume savings. Orbital Matter collaborates closely with Thales Alenia Space under the Space Business Catalyst Accelerator to mature the product. 🚀 ESA has selected the company to demonstrate its technology in space aboard the Ariane 6 maiden flight in July this year. If successful, it will be the first global 3D printer operating outside the International Space Station (ISS). 🚀 We will, of course, keep you posted on the space launch. You can learn more about them at https://lnkd.in/eBVcSDfe or by contacting the founders, Jakub Stojek & Robert Ihnatisin.

Modern healthcare is hindered by outdated electronic health record (EHR) systems that burden physicians with administrative tasks, detracting from patient care. Physicians spend nearly 45% of their time on EHRs. Packed with facts, Konstantin has written an insightful analysis of a software revolution in healthcare.

Last week, our incredible Zeus bionic hand user Andy Hitz attended the recent #EmpowerFest event in Hollywood, FL, where he made lasting connections and enjoyed every moment.🤩 The event was full of exciting activities and challenges, bringing amputees together to share their stories, learn from each other, and connect through fun and support.🦾💙 We'd like to extend a special thanks to the Hanger, Inc. team for their efforts in making this event truly unforgettable. #empowerfest #hangerclinic #prosthetics #oandp #limbloss #limbdifference #amputee #amplife #zeus #zeushand
