AssistMe develops alea, a medical device and integrated care platform that provides event-based, actionable information such as incontinence events, body signals, posture and location to support care professionals in elderly care. Alea is already in use across care homes in eight European countries, where it helps tailor care to individual needs by making otherwise hidden events visible. The company plans further product development, broader expansion across Europe, preparation for US market entry, and expansion of alea into home care. AssistMe’s leadership includes CEO Julio Brandl and CFO Alexander Meiritz, who led the company through the recent financing. The company raised €6.5 million in the announced round to fund these initiatives, backed by both new and existing investors including CRB Health Tech SGEIC and Vorwerk Ventures.

DEScycle develops a distributed, modular metals recovery platform that uses proprietary ionometallurgy and eco-friendly deep eutectic solvents to extract critical and precious metals from underutilised waste streams, starting with electronic waste. The company positions its modular units as lower-capex, lower-energy alternatives to traditional smelting, enabling metals recovery closer to waste generation and faster returns on capital. DEScycle is progressing construction of a demo plant in Teesside with a planned launch in H2 2026 and intends to operate the demo longer to generate data and refine designs. It has secured strategic and commercial validation from partners including Mitsubishi, GAP Group and Cisco, with GAP and Cisco confirmed for customer trials in 2026. Financially, DEScycle has combined more than €10M in competitive non-dilutive grants from EU Horizon, SPRIND, the EIC Accelerator, Innovate UK and UKRI, and raised a €12.2M Series A in November 2024. The company is also working on digital product passports to provide traceability and provenance for recovered metals as it moves toward industrial validation and commercial scale-up.
