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

Wi-Fi, even with minimal satellite bandwidth.  Airfree removes the need for having products onboard and can be easily integrated with the systems of retailers, thus allowing for selling a wider range of products than classic inflight retail.

WiN MS
Founder Arnaud Peltier, Marc Olivas
Category
Location Orsay, France
Product

WinMS develops diagnostic tools for monitoring and troubleshooting complex wired infrastructures. The system reduces downtime and diagnostic errors while improving maintenance productivity by 5x.

WinMS modules use multi carrier time domain reflectometry (MCTDR) to locate permanent or intermittent electrical faults on all cables including live wires. Their module includes a connection kit that fits to any cable in any aircraft and connects wirelessly to a tablet for immediate diagnostics.

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.

Sightec
Founder Prof. Joseph Francos
Category Aviation
Location Tel Aviv, Israel
Product

Sightec develops real-time image analytics software allowing for autonomous drone inspections. Their real-time detection & tracking feature allows for continuous coverage of large areas and high- precision object location, with applications including security and first responders. Their gimbal-free stabilization feature reduces the payload’s weight and extends flight time.
