Water2kW: the Spanish startup producing green hydrogen with eco-friendly technology
Water2kW is one of the supported startups in the first S3E Charge Accelerator Programme.
The technology developed by Water2kW enables the production and use of green hydrogen wherever it is installed. It requires only one source of energy, preferably from renewable sources, enabling the process to be 100% sustainable, using environmental humidity as sustainable water supply.
Their Humidity® technology provides another differential fact: the total use of the process by-products. Advanced by-product recovery systems are capable of 1) Recycling O2 to produce hydrogen peroxide or electricity 2) Recovering waste heat or 3) Taking advantage of the excess produced water. All this, without the need to add chemicals to the process and without generating emissions, rejections or toxic discharges, as is the case of current reverse osmosis and grey hydrogen installations. This new modular, circular and no-waste approach can significatively contribute to climate change objectives.

RespiBit: the startup providing personalised, predictive and protective solutions for healthy living with respiratory diseases
RespiBit is one of the supported startups in the first S3E Charge Accelerator Programme.
Problem: Asthma management is currently insufficient and needs to be improved as many of the current hospitalizations and deaths due to asthma are avoidable. Notably, asthma is the leading cause of hospitalization for children under the age of 18 today. Despite the significant costs and seriousness of the asthma problem, no solutions exist to effectively manage the condition or to predict asthma attacks.
Solution: The AsthmaFit system is the first predictive and personalized product to monitor and manage asthma in a deep and effective manner. It's a completely unique approach to monitor the condition of asthma patients, their exposure and symptom histories, and predicting asthma attacks by providing actionable, preventative and protective metrics.
Product/Services: The AsthmaFit product consists of a wearable device, an app and cloud software. AsthmaFit services address the specific needs of people with asthma of different severity (i.e., mild, moderate, and severe) and provide personalised solutions for monitoring asthma and minimising asthma attacks. AsthmaFit provides a unique and powerful solution by means of broad monitoring of exposure to the 3P’s (pollen, particulates and pollutants) that influence asthma in different ways, by monitoring individual symptoms, and by advanced algorithms that analyse the exposure entities, determine the sensitivity profile and then predict next day probable outcomes.
Value Proposition: AsthmaFit delivers to the user: a comprehensive exposure history in terms of pollen, particulates and pollutants, asthma status and sensitivity profile, and exposure warnings based on long-term exposure to specific irritants and short-term exposure to specific triggers. It is estimated that AsthmaFit will be able to predict 60%, or more, of severe asthma attacks reducing overall costs of asthma for people with severe asthma.

Psychomeasure: the medtech startup decoding mental health
Psychomeasure is one of the supported startups in the first S3E Charge Accelerator Programme.
What? Psychomeasure© is a clinical tool based on natural language processing (NLP) to support physicians in their diagnosis and monitoring of schizophrenia patients, adding quantitative resources to the qualitative analysis of patients. Psychomeasure© is based on scientific research that has been produced from over one decade of ongoing interdisciplinary investigation and has already been submitted to clinical trials monitored by mental health experts.
Why? The traditional psychiatric diagnosis process is lengthy, subjective, and prone to errors. By using NLP technology, Psychomeasure© can significantly decrease the time of evaluation and diagnosis, adding precision and accuracy. Traditional diagnostic methods for schizophrenia rely on psychiatric evaluation, behavioural examination and medical history assessment. According to scientific literature, misdiagnosis of schizophrenia ranged between 39.16% and 56.7%. In contrast, their NLP solution has been found to have an accuracy of 90%.
How? Psychomeasure© provides a Software as a Service (SAAS) subscription-based product that provides cognitive markers based on speech that can be used in a similar way as a hemogram. These results are then used by psychiatrists to support their qualitative assessment of patients, enabling faster and more accurate diagnosis and patient monitoring.
The science behind Psychomeasure's algorithm was tested, validated, published, and awarded by some of the world's most renowned research centres, such as the Columbia University Medical School, the University of Edinburgh and King’s College in London. They currently have clinical trials taking place at hospitals and research centres in Europe and in Brazil using their Beta app. The company owns its intellectual property (IP) and has a formal agreement with the universities where it was initially developed.
Learn more about Psychomeasure by watching the pitch done by their CEO, Eduardo Barros, during the Charge Open Day on 6th July 2023.

Digital Bites: the startup that conducts product and consumer research with Virtual Reality
Digital Bites is one of the supported startups in the first S3E Charge Accelerator Programme.
Digital Bites is a B2B platform that allows the developers of physical products to test their concepts on their target audience before having to build them. This is possible with the use of our Virtual Reality based consumer experiments that can test, capture, and analise the conscious and unconscious behaviour of a product’s real target audience in a fast and accurate way.
Consumer insights experts, marketing departments or NPD teams can validate new product concepts easily and rapidly, measure the attraction of designs or predict the performance of their product against its competition.
Through the Digital Bites platform, any physical product, building facility or experience can be tested or validated for different aspects (e.g. attraction, usability, feedback, etc) very easily. The major competitive advantage over their competitors is that product and consumer experiments conducted with the Digital Bites platform require no trade-offs; they are fast to conduct, extremely accurate in their results and require less resources to design and execute. This is achieved by:
1) Enabling the testing of product prototypes that have not yet been developed physically,
2) Gathering more data from a 90% smaller than normal consumer sample, and using AI models to create “virtual consumers”,
3) Having a controlled “closed-system” experiment in which zero-party data are collected extremely accurately.
Learn more about Digital Bites by watching the pitch done by their Co-founder and CTO, Loukas Kakalis, during the Charge Open Day on 6th July 2023.

Bluana Foods: the Romanian startup that has developed a chef-made plant-based sashimi
Bluana Foods is one of the supported startups in the first S3E Charge Accelerator Programme.
Bluana is a pioneering startup that is revolutionising the plant-based food industry by offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fish-based seafood products. Their unique and proprietary technology allows them to develop a new type of fish substitute that addresses several pressing challenges in the seafood industry.
Firstly, Bluana tackles the significant environmental impact of the fishing industry, including overfishing and the destruction of ecosystems. By utilising their innovative approach, they can reduce the reliance on wild-caught fish and help preserve marine biodiversity.
Secondly, it address the negative consequences of intensive fish farming, such as the overuse of antibiotics, antibiotics resistance, and the use of processed feedstock. Bluana's plant-based seafood substitute offers a healthier and more sustainable alternative, free from these concerns.
Moreover, its solution significantly reduces GHG emissions associated with global seafood transportation and cold chain management. By enabling local production with minimal setup costs, Bluana products contribute to a more efficient and eco-friendly supply chain.
In addition to these environmental benefits, Bluana offers an exceptional customer experience. Their plant-based seafood substitute, initially focusing on salmon, provides a shelf-stable product that can be stored at room temperature. This eliminates the need for extensive cold chain logistics and reduces food waste due to the short shelf life of fresh seafood.
Bluana's commitment to quality extends to taste and nutritional value. Their product has been rigorously tested through blind tastings, confirming its superior taste compared to other plant-based seafood substitutes and achieving the same or even better taste compared to fish meat.
From a business perspective, Bluana offers a substantial advantage to value chain stakeholders. With higher margins compared to both traditional seafood and existing seafood substitutes, Bluana presents an attractive opportunity for retailers, distributors, and foodservice providers.
Overall, Bluana is poised to disrupt the seafood market by providing a sustainable, high-quality, and delicious plant-based alternative that addresses environmental and social concerns, meets customer expectations, and offers attractive business opportunities.
Learn more about Bluana Foods by watching the pitch done by their CEO, Florin Irimescu, during the Charge Open Day on 6th July 2023.

ARCAN: the Italian startup that helps you decide when and how much to invest in software quality thanks to AI
Arcan is one of the supported startups in the first S3E Charge Accelerator Programme.
Estimating software development costs is difficult because there are so many factors to consider. One crucial factor that is always overlooked is technical debt, which indicates the quick and dirty solutions put together by (usually) software developers when they are in a hurry. Technical debt impacts software quality, such as reliability, security, and also sustainability, since poor quality software wastes more energy than good quality one. All around the world, technical debt costs 500 billion dollars.
Software companies still struggle to tackle the problem because they cannot project the benefit they can get in "repaying" the debt (fixing the software). Thus, they tend to avoid acting until it's too late and experience project delays, enormous maintenance costs, and frustration. Arcan wants to give companies the necessary forecasting data to push investment in improving their software sustainability and let them save thousands of dollars in software development. Specifically, Arcan is a SaaS B2B platform that can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud.
Arcan scans the source code of a software application, automatically detects technical debt and finally projects the costs of future maintenance. Software houses can use Arcan continuously to save development time and money; non-software companies can use Arcan to assess the sustainability and maintenance costs of software assets, for instance during M&A processes.
Learn more about Arcan by watching the Pitch done by their Founder and CEO, Ilaria Pigazzini, during the Charge Open Day on 6th July 2023.
