AUSTIN TECHNOLOGY INCUBATOR

Akt-Bionics: Advanced prostheses made affordable. Alt-Bionics provides unique bionic and artificial intelligence driven prostheses for upper limb amputees that are a fraction of the cost of competitive devices. Our vision is to substantially reduce the cost of bionic prostheses across the artificial limbs market to provide an accessible, high functioning solution to amputees.

Atlas Sensor Technologies: Hardness sensor for water softeners. Atlas Sensor Technologies produces easy-to-use, cost-effective devices for the detection of calcium and other ions in water.

The company aspires to change the paradigm of salt-regenerated water softening by introducing a new method for determining when a softener needs to be regenerated. Atlas’ suite of sensors will allow real-time detection of water quality, improve reliability of water treatment equipment, and reduce negative impacts from waste discharges.

Bovi: Bolt-On automation solutions for existing equipment. Bovi’s orchard tractor retrofit kit allows for autonomous mowing, spraying, and fertilizer spreading while also carrying around a “mini-bus” of A.I. agricultural expertise; a tractor driver, agronomist, and entomologist all in one.

GS Vortex Systems: Radically enhancing flow efficiency. Much of the energy used for pumping fluids is spent overcoming flowing frictional forces in pipes. Vortex technology uses static devices (no moving parts, energy or maintenance needs) to greatly reduce this drag, saving operating costs and raising system productivity.

Herdsy: Taking the guesswork out of livestock production. Herdsy solves the biggest issue for the livestock industry, financial and environmental sustainability, allowing ranchers to have highly profitable, low-impact livestock.

Herdsy uses its signature collar tech to provide locational data, feed efficiency, real-time grading, and much more. Herdsy takes the guesswork out of livestock production.

HiPR Innovation: Focused on preventing high pressure ulcers. The HiPR Sense is an intelligent pressure management system that provides wheelchair patients, caregivers, and health professionals with real-time data points to optimize pressure ulcer prevention.

Induction Food Systems: IFS develops fluid heating equipment for industrial customers that improves margins and decarbonizes operations. Its patented, “middle-out” heating platform improves key heating metrics by 8x over conventional options and unlocks manufacturing productivity across the food & beverage and chemical industries.

Inductive Robots: Inductive Robotics is revolutionizing EV charging with autonomous mobile robots that deliver charging directly to parked vehicles. Their subscription-based solution enables parking operators to deploy EV charging without costly infrastructure upgrades, transforming any parking spot into a charging spot. Their technology charges 4X more vehicles using existing power infrastructure, accelerating sustainable transportation adoption.

Leviathan Air: Leviathan Air is revolutionizing the way cargo and equipment move across oceans.  Our specialized type of seaplanes, known as Ground Effect Vehicles, are not only exempt from FAA certification but offer a new middle ground in transoceanic transportation filling the gap between ships and aircraft.  Offering the speed of an aircraft, but at half the cost and CO2 emissions.  

Lumaegis: Lumaegis is developing flexible, conformal and uniform light delivery e-textile systems using proprietary technology. The team is tackling a critical issue, healthcare acquired infections, by providing effective and expedient decontamination for high-touch surfaces. Our product, RadBlanket™, deactivates antibiotic resistant bacteria and viruses in seconds.

New Dominion Enterprises Inc: New Dominion Enterprises Inc. is launching a three-phase introduction of inorganic electrolytes that progressively address the heat-related downsides of organic electrolytes of material degradation that reduces useful life and potential safety issues.

Persistent Biocontrol: Soil insect pests cause billions of dollars in crop losses each year and there are surprisingly few options to control them.  At Persistent BioControl, we offer farmers a new tool to protect plant roots – persistent insect attacking nematodes.  One simple application protects crops for multiple years, recovers lost yield, and increases farmer profit.

Quantum Power Systems: The electrical equipment used to connect to the power grid hasn’t changed in over 100 years. Quantum Power Systems is revolutionizing this field by developing cutting-edge power conversion equipment utilizing solid-state semiconductors. Our technology delivers a smaller, lighter, and more sustainable solution, driving the transition to renewable energy.

Tubular Network: Tubular Network delivers goods underground using autonomous shuttles inside tubes with the goal of eliminating carbon emissions from transportation. Each delivery arrives in minutes instead of hours because every route is point-to-point and nonstop within the network.

Turbo Power Semiconductor Inc., a fabless semiconductor startup emerging from the University of Texas at Austin, aims to transform the power electronics landscape with its innovative, patent-pending TurboIGBT technology. For the past four decades, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) have been pivotal in driving the global transition toward decarbonization and electrification. With the market projected to reach $12 billion by 2030, Turbo Power Semiconductor is strategically focused on advancing IGBT technology to meet the growing demands of this dynamic sector.

Waterloo Solutions: Waterloo Solutions is the material sciences company responsible for inventing a revolutionary diamond metamaterial called Qrystal™. Qrystal™ is a diamond wafer with conductive internal graphite structures. This has applications in the defense, semiconductor, and product authentication sectors, but our preliminary focus is on the defense industry.

Well Water Finders: The Well Water Finders patented technology locates depth and volume of groundwater down to 5,000 ft. in minutes. Ideal for real estate development, food production, ranching & municipal supply – the company is working towards manufacturing units that can be used to determine groundwater levels for two important applications: extraction through water well drilling; and ideal placement for aquifer recharge zones to collect harvested rainfall, returning water back to the earth.

Zero Electric: Zero Electric transforms used batteries into versatile energy storage solutions. By charging these batteries during off-peak hours or when surplus power is available, we enable their use for diverse applications such as EV charging, AI data center power, backup for buildings, renewable energy storage, and reducing energy loads in buildings and industries.
