CYRUS’ Metal Hydride Compressor has unique advantages, including no use of CRMs, and use of low – grade thermal energy resulting in very low O&M costs. Its main target market is Hydrogen Refueling Stations (HRS) for vehicles.

EnzyQuest is the first company operating in the field of enzymatic biotechnology in Southeast Europe. It has already developed a portfolio of 70 products and currently focuses on the identification and discovery of enzymes with novel properties and pioneering applications from Extremophiles, i.e microorganisms that are able to grow optimally under very low or very high temperature, extreme pH, and high salinity.

EnzyQuest has developed a wide distribution network in Greece and Cyprus, which is currently expanding to Europe and Asia. 

FoodOxys is a spin-off of the University of Thessaly. Capitalizing on more than 15 years of world-class research on functional food and metabolic control of oxidative stress, the company aims to create and appropriate value from the global trend of self-directed care, by focusing on food as a means of wellness to prevent disease, improve health and enhance quality of life.

FoodOxys has developed a patented portable device for the assessment of the levels of glutathione in blood. A single drop of blood of the person tested is required for the testing, while results are delivered in less than 30 minutes; nutrition plans are then generated based on the individual’s antioxidants’ level to achieve better health and wellness. Other services of the company include analyses of the antioxidants in foods to assess the products’ quality level.
