An anonymised look at live deal flow across the chapter. You see the sector, the thesis and the traction - members see company names, founders, full due-diligence notes and the live data room, and vote at the forum.
Two companies pitch in person, each for 30 minutes including questions from the room.
Compostable biocomposite granules and bio-barrier paper coatings made from agricultural residues - drop-in alternatives to fossil-fuel plastics, designed to run on the moulding machinery converters already own. Built for tightening packaging rules in India, the GCC and Europe. Patent filed, food-contact cleared, and paid pilots with converters under way.
A wearable motion-intelligence platform - IMU sensors, motion reconstruction, analytics and an SDK/API - so device makers can add motion sensing without building the sensing, calibration, sensor-fusion, firmware and wireless stack themselves. Sports technology and rehabilitation come first. The technology already ships in the company's own certified assistive product, with 400+ customers.

The chapter is working on deals across MedTech and eldercare, clean materials, EV and mobility, assistive technology and industrial IoT - one open for commitment, two presenting on 3 October, one round closing, and the rest in post-forum diligence or mentoring. The board also records recent outcomes: one company our members took to pre-forum stage was acquired, and one that cleared full diligence was funded in full by a climate fund. The full board shows each one's sector, stage and headline traction; names, due-diligence notes and the live data room are reserved for members.
