The field of medical aesthetics has witnessed remarkable growth, driven by the increasing demand for non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Patients are increasingly seeking minimally invasive procedures that provide effective results with minimal discomfort, reduced downtime, and fewer side effects. This has spurred the development of advanced technologies such as dermal fillers, injections, and various energy-based devices to address common concerns like wrinkles, skin laxity, and volume loss. Despite these advancements, traditional needle-based injection methods still present challenges. They can cause discomfort, bruising, and anxiety, which often deter patients from seeking treatment or lead to suboptimal results due to patient hesitation. Additionally, needle-based procedures carry inherent risks, such as infection, uneven distribution of the injected substance, and potential damage to surrounding tissues. To overcome these issues, a laser-guided, needleless drug injection device has been developed. This technology utilizes a 2940nm Er:YAG laser that interacts with water to create internal explosions, generating strong pressure. This pressure converts the drug, sprayed from a nozzle, into a jet form, allowing it to be delivered precisely and evenly into the desired skin layer. The technology enables the rapid injection of large quantities of medication, offering a pain-free, controlled, and efficient alternative to traditional needle-based injections. The technology owner is seeking collaboration with partners in the aesthetics, pharmaceutical, medical laser device manufacturers, and professional medical institutions. The goal is to expand the application of this technology beyond aesthetics, into areas such as drug delivery for vaccines and other therapeutic uses.

Pollution in oceans and rivers is a global concern due to contaminants like oil spills and microplastics, which harm biodiversity. In response to marine pollutions, extensive human and technological resources are typically deployed to mitigate the situation, this includes absorbent, oil skimmer machineries, drones or vessels depending on the complexity of required clean-ups, resulting it being costly and time consuming. Designed and developed by a Korea-based startup, the technology proposed herein is a robot deployed onto the water surface to efficiently recovers pollutants autonomously with minimum human intervention. Unlike conventional pollution recovery equipment that uses additional devices connected by hoses, the robot combines the recovery of pollutant, transportation and storage of pollutants into a single robot device that can travel up to 1000 m range. The robot is equipped with a proprietary hydrophilic ratchet-based contaminant recovery technology, which generates a flow that sucks water through the movement of a hydrophilic material and controls the attachment and detachment of contaminants on the surface of the material by capillary force. This proprietary recover technology enables the robot to recover bunker fuel spills including high viscosity low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO), low viscosity heavy fuel oil (HFO), diesel, as well as microplastics in an efficient manner. The technology owner is seeking to collaborate with companies that provides marine pollution control/recycling service and government agencies to conduct a pilot trial in Singapore, with an option to further co-develop and integrate technologies that enhances the capabilities of the robot, such as identification of marine pollutants.

Eldercare centres have a unique structure due to the several variables & constraints regarding the elder and service type. Unlike the other item or passenger transportation problems, the eldercare industry does not have a standard approach to match the number of elders and vehicle capacity because some elders are transported by a wheelchair which covers approximately two seats, whereas the others may be ambulant. In addition, for some cases, such as an elder with dementia, a caregiver may accompany the elder, making the capacity-elder match more complicated & dynamic per vehicle trip. Considering this capacity utilization problem in the eldercare & healthcare industry, this technology was developed, which is a routing algorithm that optimally matches the number of elders and vehicle capacity to minimize the number of vehicles deployed per trip while maximizing vehicle utilization by providing the minimum travel distance and travel time. As a result, eldercare service providers will provide faster services to customers and reduce their outsourced vehicle costs.

Root rot diseases in food crops are devastating diseases currently without solution. Examples of such diseases are the Basal Stem Rot in oil palms, Fusarium Wilt in bananas, and Phytophthora Root Rot in citrus.  While fungicides have in vitro efficacy, most do not possess phloem mobility and therefore cannot reach the roots to effect treatment. Thus, despite widespread usage of fungicides, root rot diseases are still inadequately treated or are not treated at all. This Nano Delivery Technology imparts phloem mobility to fungicides, allowing them to reach the roots from the application site to treat and protect the crops. The technology is designed as a ready-to-use adjuvant that works with commercialised fungicides. Growers can independently and safely nano encapsulate the fungicides with basic mixing equipment and a simple, one-step mixing process. This technology is patent-pending and ready to market.
