Our mission and vision is to match digital talent

with digital jobs – recruit, train and employ 500,000

ICT developers until 2020 from priority EU countries

facing higher unemployment rates and other social

challenges.

To implement our vision, we have developed a dis-

ruptive new business model for training, recruiting

and employing human resources, bringing together

four key stakeholders:

companies looking for digital skilled profession-

als across Europe;

candidates looking for a job in the digital labor

market but who lack skills and career guidance;

technical training partners able to provide online

java, sharepoint, sql, .net programing courses;

recruitment partners able to source candidates

across the globe to work in Europe in digital jobs.

We are interested in meeting investors, business

partners and customers.

Our product:

Cross Border Talents’ (CBT) ambition is to contribute to

solve the skill shortage challenge through consistently

facilitating employment transitions in increasingly volatile

and complex labour markets.

We are a specialist recruitment consultancy with a global

network of recruitment partners around Europe, Ameri-

cas, Middle East Africa and Asia. We provide recruitment

solutions for the Engineering, ICT Medical and Business

Process Outsourcing Industries.

We are a start-up company launched in 2013 by 3 part-

ners with large experience in the global recruitment sec-

tor over the last 2 decades and currently with 80 employ-

ees (direct and freelancers). We had a turnover of

400.000€ in 2016 (with an EBIDTA of 25% in the last quar-

ter).

Our product (CBT academy: match talent with digital

jobs) provides valuable services to all stakeholders at-

tending the trade fair:

academy’s clients (ICT companies) see their recruit-

ment needs met on a regular basis (not just one-off);

people who graduate the academy see their chances

in the job market enhanced;

technology partners who provide the academy’s

training contents and tools generate an extra reve-

nue;

public entities see the academy as an effective and

accountable tool to promote employment and mobil-

ity.

Our target audience:

We are happy to meet inves-

tors looking to invest in a dis-

ruptive business model to

recruit, train and employ over

500.000 ICT developers until

2020.

Why us:

Aside from the recognition received from the European

Union’s Horizon 2020 - SME Instrument Programme, CBT

Talents was also recognised by the grand coalition for

digital jobs (European Commission) as having two of then

ten best practices in labour mobility in Europe.

Moreover, Mr Ben Noteboom, former chairman of the

executive board and CEO of Randstad Holding, became a

shareholder of the company.

Up to date, CBT has closed business deals with compa-

nies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Siemens, Altran, Accenture,

Google, Amazon, Panalpina, and several business process

outsourcing companies such as Teleperformance, Trans-

com, Arvato Bertelsmann, Sitel, etc.

Elettrosystem deals in technology. Its vocation has

been, for forty years, to be continuously innovative

in automation.

Right now, more than sixty employees are contrib-

uting to Elettrosystem's growth with their compe-

tences and their dynamism; they are distributed in

the Commercial Office (feasibility studies and com-

mercial offers), Technical Dept. (electro-pneumatic

design, mechanical modelling, software develop-

ment), Mechanical Workshop (milling machines and

lathes), Assembly Dept and Service: the whole pro-

ductive process is internal and carried out in the

headquarter of Asti.

We would be interested in distributors, customers

and suppliers.

Our product:

Our product is a solution. Elettrosystem makes available

its experience in process automating and process im-

provement.

Customer's needs are matched with the most advanced

technology in the market; not only in terms of tangible

assets, but also with value added services of consulting,

maintenance, and training; based on 40 years of consoli-

dated know-how.

Irrespective of the size or the complexity, the machine is

served by a remote maintenance or a phone support in

order to guarantee the shortest fault solving.

In this occasion, the unique selling proposition consists of

our TWIMP machine: a fiber laser precise cutting/welding

machine for metal parts (also twip steel). TWIMP is the

inherited name of a European co-funded project. The

TWIMP machine’s main features are a reduced footprint

(less than 10 sqm), scalability (additional modules are

available for testing, marking...), flexibility (thanks to an

integrated environment it's possible to compile the pro-

gram in C++, ladder, ISO G-code...), and general applica-

bility (through customized fixtures a varied production is

allowed just via quick retooling).

It's a machine with a short time-to-market, shippable

without dismounting and with a quick rump up.

The TWIMP technology is normally promoted via real

tests. In fact, customer's parts could be welded following

technical specifications in Elettrosystem's facility and rela-

tive worked samples returned for submitting. It's a tangi-

ble way to evaluate TWIMP‘s results where the goal is the

customer's satisfaction. It is important to put TWIMP ma-

chine into the customer's context because it's the only

way to give a measurable parameter of the quality of the

product; the customer "plays at home" knowing its join-

ing issues, its process side-effects, its expectations.


Customers interested in precise laser welding regard-

less operating sector.

Distributors with expertise in welding applications or

automated processes with a deep knowledge of the

Far East industrial fabric, market and needs.

System Integrator, who is generally involved in supply

of special machines of industry, with gap of

knowledge in laser welding applications.

Supplier dealing in fiber laser equipment., compliant

with integrated components.

Why us:

Hungaro Lux Light Ltd. is one of the most innovate

outdoor lighting companies (manufacturer) in Eu-

rope with more than 20 years of experience and

continuous development.

Our core business is manufacturing street lighting

LED fixtures. LED lighting is already a well known

and accepted technology in the lighting industry

nowadays. It offers much more possibility to meet

the needs of the clients.

As a pioneer in LED technology, we are able to ef-

fectively fulfil all customer needs both indoor and

outdoor, no matter if it is a standard or a unique

one, which needs bespoke solution (development

and manufacturing).

We would be interested in meeting distributors and

customers.

Our product:

Our newest project is the development of our street

lighting family, with a brand new member, called Pearl-

Light+. About 60% of the electricity costs for a municipal-

ity is street lighting. Being able to spare energy in this

field means a great success from environmental and from

financial aspect as well.

These PearlLight lamps can reach 50-60% of saving, 15-

20% efficiency growth, which means altogether 80% of

saving on the same level of efficiency.

They lower the energy consumption even more than a

regular LED fixture and at the same time enhance the

comfort of the users and enable to meet the needs speci-

fied in the applicable standards (EN 13201 in Europe) .

Our efforts aim to lower the energy consumption and

make lighting more powerful two ways: on one hand we

are enhancing the efficiency of the lenses (lowering the

light loss, therefore same light requires less electrical en-

ergy), on the other hand we are developing a CAD pro-

gram with which highly optimized lenses can be offered

to every possible local circumstances (there are special

local needs in

terms of geome-

try/geography

(pole distance,

light height, pole-

to-road distance,

etc.)

Both solution cen-

ters around the

optics as it is a very important part of the design and it

plays a vital role in the overall efficiency. Thanks to H2020

SME Instrument our engineers got an opportunity to de-

velop a new Antireflective coating technology for poly-

carbonate substrate, which allowed to lower the con-

sumption of the lamps by means of high optical efficien-

cy.

Using this technology means 15% advantage compared

with competitors.


Optical designers - mainly for street lighting

Lightbee has a focus on three main areas:

Mobiles: optical transmission by means of led

flash light modulation

Lighting: geolocation solutions and smart man-

agement of Led Lighting

Automotive Industry: connected cars by means of

head/tail led lights

Our objective is to replace insecure wireless links

based on Bluetooth or NFC, RFID technology for

sensitive purposes, i.e. payments, control access,

interferences environments etc.

We are interested in investors, business partners

and customers.

Our product:

Lightbee has developed a middleware composed of a

hardware for decoding optical data and connecting to

the Cloud, and a software able to modulate leds for

transmitting data. We pretend to take advantage of the

huge amount of devices which already include led tech-

nology in their hardware, and have implemented our

middleware to develop three main products:

Lightkey: an App for using a mobile’s led flash light to

transmit data to our decoder, for control access and

payment purposes.

Lightdim: a geolocation and smart led lighting man-

agement solution for led lighting facilities;

Lightnosis: allows the use of led vehicle lights as a

control access solution, wireless diagnosis and car to

car communications.

Lightbee aims to exhibit and sell the first version of Light-

key for Control Access Market, ready to be implemented

in door locks so it can coexist with traditional keys. It is

composed of an App where the user can store as many

keys as they wish and a receiver integrated in a lock re-

sponsible of decoding and validating codes, and opening

the door. Lightkey´s unique selling points are: it improves

user´s experience in control access purposes because op-

tical wireless links contain data inside the light, so the

security of their passwords is ensured at the physical lay-

er (they cannot be copied as radiofrequencies can).

On the other hand, since we use an existing hardware

such as the mobile’s flash, the easy implementation al-

lows for the immediate use of smartphones to open a

door by just downloading an App from the appstore and

knowing the code.

Finally, users explained to us that they like knowing when

a payment or an access action has been made to avoid

mistakes. Lightbee offers that as you need a VOLUNTARY

action to align the mobile with the decoder.


Our main target are manufacturers. We aim to get agree-

ments with them to integrate our developments in their

devices so we ensure the scalability of our solutions in

the field of lighting, smartphones, smart home platforms

and vehicles. We vow for offering our solutions already

integrated in their devices so it is possible to open to

their customers additional features without the require-

ment of additional hardware at a very low cost of imple-

mentation, and without removing the lighting or signal-

ling function of the leds.

Our business proposition is based on the advantage of

implementing new features to manufacturers’ products at

a very low cost by improving the security and reliability of

their IOT solutions.

Why us:

Lightbee is internationally recognised as one of the main

players of this technology. It has: been

selected for pitching at Photonics West Fair in San

Francisco as semi-finalists of the Challenge Award

program for Early stage startups in the Photonics field

included as one of the main players in VLC technology

by major VLC Research Market Reports

selected by Valeo to participate at Vivatech in Paris

with our solution for Car Aftersales Market 2015

selected by Cisco EIR program as top15 IOT European

company in Vienna

Moreover, Lightbee is currently requesting two patents in

Europe, USA and China, and continuously work is for in-

cluding additional ones related to our solutions, so we

can offer a strong IP support to our partners in terms of

exclusivity of the possible collaboration established.

Seven Solutions is leader in accurate sub-

nanosecond time transfer and frequency distribu-

tion for reliable industrial and scientific applications.

Our vision is to become a worldwide leader provid-

ing ultra-accurate timing and synchronization solu-

tions.

Our mission is to provide solutions with time as a

first-order concept. Enabling next generation of mo-

bile infrastructure. Riding on Telecom Network to

bring disruptive service to Finances, Smart Grid, In-

ternet of Things, positioning and navigation.

Seven Solutions is a private limited liability company

with a strong technical profile on embedded sys-

tems. We were reborn in 2011 and we become lead-

er in timing in Scientific infrastructures by 2014.

We would be interested in meeting distributors,

business partners and customers.

Our product:

We provide timing and synchronization telecom equip-

ment (switches and nodes) for different industrial seg-

ments such as Telecommunications (5G requires synchro-

nized antennas), Finances (for distributing legal time

stamping from national metrology institutes and time

stamping of stock transactions, especially for High Fre-

quency Trading), Smart Grid (for a global time reference,

it facilitates data analysis across the grid also forensic

analysis in case of black-out), Defence (multiple antennas

synchronization and distributed radar).

Our solutions allow sub-nanosecond synchronization,

reliable and deterministic time and frequency transfer.

They are easy to deploy (including self-calibration mech-

anisms) and cost-effective because it does not require

dedicated optical fibers, it can use standard (existing)

telecom network (timing and synchronization signals can

share the link with data transference without affecting

accuracy).

In addition, it repre-

sents a GPS back up

for time critical infra-

structures. It miti-

gates GPS vulnerabil-

ity to jamming and

spoofing.

The White-Rabbit

technology was de-

veloped in collabora-

tion with the European

Organization for Nucle-

ar Research (CERN).

Currently we have pro-

prietary products inte-

grating this original tech-

nology. Time is a key

magnitude used in many

of our day-life activities.

There is a standard defini-

tion of a Universal time,

the UTC (Universal Time Coordinated). This UTC time ref-

erence is used in all the instruments and references all

around the world. In this sense there are new timing re-

quirements for 5G in Telecom, new directives for stock

trading (MIFID II in EU but also in other international

markets), opportunities in low latency trading and the

need to reduce GNSS vulnerability at time-critical infra-

structures such as Telecom, Finances, Defence and Smart

Grid. Our solutions allow sub-nanosecond synchroniza-

tion. We offer deterministic industrial time.


We are looking for partners in two main sectors, Fintech

and Photonic. In this sense, our target partner is a tele-

com operator or an equipment manufacturer, as we are a

technology provider. Other possible partners are leading

companies in telecom and finance sectors, or middle

companies with high expertise in network communica-

tions and timing products.

Why us:


Union’s Horizon 2020 - SME Instrument Programme

(including the best pitch award DIGITAL, Innovators Sum-

mit, SME 2016), the University of Granada awarded Seven

Solutions as the technology based SME with high poten-

tial and impact in the region and the University of Grana-

da.

Our medium-term goal is developing turn-key sin-

gle-photon generators, which are key components

for next-generation quantum cryptosystems. We

have significant expertise in the fabrication of galli-

um arsenide nanophotonic chips as well as quantum

optics.

We are looking to meet investors, business partners

and customers.

Our product:

Single photons are the key resource for a wide range of

photonic quantum technologies, such as quantum cryp-

tosystems, photonic quantum networks, and much more.

The Sparrow single-photon source is based on self-

assembled InAs quantum dots coupled to a slow-light

photonic-crystal waveguide made using our unique pro-

cessing technology. The

slow-light sections feature

a low group velocity in

order to increase light-

matter interaction while

the weak dispersion sec-

tions enable more efficient

chip out-coupling. Cur-

rently, customers must

integrate the chip with

their own quantum pho-

tonic setup while our turn-

key solution for single-

photon generation is in

the development phase.

In addition, we offer access

to our nanofabrication process for custom designs in the

university R&D sector.

Our devices give customers access to state-of-the-art

device quality and unparalleled single-photon coupling

efficiency in the form of advanced planar nanophotonic

chips made in world-leading nanofab. This allows cus-

tomers to save time and cost of their own nanofabrica-

tion, so they can focus on their core research.

Moreover, we offer a wide range of customization op-

tions in chip design enabling novel experiments and ap-

plications.


Investors: we are interested in meeting with potential

investors with interests in photonic quantum technol-

ogies.

Business partners: we are interested in meeting com-

panies with expertise in photonic integration.

Customers: Our current customer base is photonic

R&D, mainly university labs, but we are interested in

meeting with producers of cryptosystems and photon-

ic integrated circuits.

Why us:



Sparrow Quantum has secured two EUopStart grants, and

has obtained a venture capital injection in May 2016 with

Seier Capital Denmark A/S with an initial investment of

>€1.5m for building and commercializing the 1st-

generation single-photon chip, targeting demand from

the R&D market.
