Founded in 2021, OXCCU is developing proprietary catalysts and reactor designs that directly hydrogenate CO₂ to create hydrocarbon syncrude branded as OXFUEL, which can be refined into jet-fuel-grade SAF. Its single-step, iron-based Fischer-Tropsch process eliminates the RWGS stage and reduces hydrogen demand, promising lower capital and operating costs than competing e-fuel pathways. The company operates from Begbroke Science Park and London Oxford Airport, where its OX1 demonstration plant was validated in 2024. OXCCU is positioning OXFUEL to help the UK meet its target of 10% SAF in jet fuel by 2030 and is now researching how its fuel can limit non-CO₂ warming effects such as soot-induced contrail formation. Financially, the start-up secured €20.6 million of initial funding in June 2023, followed by a €23.7 million round in September 2025, and most recently obtained a €2 million grant from the ATI Non-CO₂ Programme. These funds support technology scale-up, commercial deployment and climate-impact validation, underscoring OXCCU’s emergence as a leading UK climate-tech innovator.

Apeiron Synthesis produces a ruthenium-based catalyst powder for olefin-based metathesis reactions, developed from research following a Nobel Prize discovery. The company has set up production lines and says the powder currently costs up to €70,000 to produce. Apeiron reports its catalyst reduces process phases from 20 to 16 and can lower clients' production costs by about 20%, equating to roughly €20 million in annual savings for customers. A leading Polish corporate, PKN Orlen, has agreed to deploy the technology in its petrochemicals division, providing an early commercial partner. The research team was mentored by professor Karol Grela at the Polish Academy of Sciences. Apeiron aims to secure a niche in metathesis catalysts alongside existing suppliers as global demand grows.

Invert Robotics develops robotic inspection solutions and operates an inspection services business alongside a robot product sales division. The company announced a second close of an investment round that adds €2.5m and brings total funding to €25m. The new capital will support growth of a Dublin-based research and development centre and expansion of its robot product sales division. The product sales division is intended to make Invert's technology available to traditional inspection services companies and large global clients with internal maintenance and inspection teams. The announcement was shared on LinkedIn with a link to coverage in The Irish Times. No operating metrics were disclosed in the announcement. Invert Robotics develops robotic inspection technologies and an artificial intelligence platform to inspect high-value industrial assets in hazardous, hard-to-reach, or toxic environments. The company serves customers across food production, aerospace, pharmaceutical, chemical and energy sectors. It plans to use new capital to accelerate growth by developing further innovations and expanding into new sectors and industries. The funding specifically supports continued R&D and deeper collaboration with strategic partners in energy and chemicals. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Invert Robotics positions its technology as a safer, more precise and efficient alternative to existing inspection methods. The company intends to trial its latest technologies across large energy and chemical operations as part of planned commercial expansion. Invert Robotics builds commercial inspection robots that climb walls using suction cups on treads and a special chemical to reduce friction and maintain a sliding vacuum seal. Managing director Neil Fletcher explained the design uses a plunger-like seal balanced with controlled air leakage to allow movement while keeping adhesion. The machines target hazardous inspection work in food, chemical and aviation industries where automation can improve safety and reduce shutdown time. Invert is already working with customers including Dow Chemical and BASF to assess processing assets. Investors like Finistere Ventures highlighted applications across the global food supply chain, while Yamaha's Silicon Valley arm invested as part of a strategic robotics push. The company recently raised $8.8M in new financing to support commercialization and global market expansion.
