Biorce develops Aika, an AI-native platform trained on roughly one million historical clinical trials to predict risks, reduce errors, and minimize costly protocol amendments. By shortening preparation timelines and limiting amendments that can each add €500,000–€1 million and six weeks of delay, the company aims to make clinical research faster, more reliable, and more accessible. Aika is already used in oncology, neurology, and rare-disease studies and is intentionally therapy-agnostic so it can scale across diverse programmes. Backed by more than $60 million in total funding, Biorce plans to grow its workforce and open a development and R&D hub in Austin, Texas to support U.S. customers. The roadmap through early 2026 includes expanding Aika’s protocol-intelligence engine and rolling out new modules for contract management, negotiation, budget planning, and operational execution. These enhancements are designed to further improve trial efficiency and accelerate patient access to new therapies.

Founded in 2021, WNWN Food Labs (branded Win-Win) has developed patented fermentation technology that turns ingredients such as rice and carob into chocolate-like products that look, melt, taste and snap like traditional chocolate. The company’s cocoa-free formulations use up to 80 % less water and generate 82 % fewer CO2e emissions than conventional chocolate, directly addressing deforestation, climate-driven yield declines and other ethical issues in the cacao supply chain. Win-Win applies classic chocolate-making steps—roasting, grinding, refining and tempering—to its alternative base, enabling seamless substitution in pastries, cookies, coatings, desserts and more. Its portfolio currently includes award-winning vegan “M.lk” and dark varieties and has secured a distribution partnership with Martin Braun-Gruppe for the DACH region. With growing demand from manufacturers, food-service providers and retail, the startup plans to scale UK production and enter major European markets.
