Whitefox Defense Technologies
Founder Luke Fox
Category Defense

Prime Lightworks
Founder Kyle Flanagan
Category Propellant-less electric propulsion for satellites
Location Culver City, CA
Product

Prime Lightworks is developing a RF resonant cavity thruster for satellite propulsion that could replace satellite propellant mass and conventional satellite propulsion systems. Prime Lightworks fully electric propulsion systems would increase satellite payload mass and orbital velocities, while lowering fuel emissions and launch costs to orbit. Satellites’ lifetime would be increased by making it only limited by their components failure, and not anymore by propellant capacity.

Airfree
Founder Etienne de Verdelhan, Valéry Méary, Agnès Debains
Category Aviation
Location Paris, France
Product

Marketplace connecting travellers to duty-free retailers and travel-related service providers. Customers can browse and securely purchase products on their personal device using inflight

Hionos
Founder Valentin Brossard, Amin Elmrabti
Category Aviation
Location Grenoble, France
Product
