NASA is seeking autonomous therapeutic modules and behavioral health monitoring systems for long-duration space exploration.

As missions extend farther from Earth, crews need tools that can support mental health and cognitive performance with limited real-time access to ground-based care.

Solutions should be practical for autonomous use in constrained, remote spaceflight environments.

Here's what we're looking for:

✅ Autonomous mental health and therapeutic support modules
✅ Behavioral health and cognitive performance monitoring systems
✅ Tools for early detection of stress, fatigue, mood changes, or cognitive decline
✅ Digital interventions designed for limited-connectivity, self-guided use
✅ Compact, low-burden solutions suited to spaceflight operations
✅ Technologies beyond basic wellness tracking or consumer-only applications

We're scouting for breakthrough technologies that restore degraded cropland to productive use.

Syngenta is seeking soil-applied solutions that rebuild the physical, chemical, and biological function of soil. The focus is on acting on the soil itself, not on helping plants tolerate poor conditions.

What qualifies:
✅ Rebuilds organic matter, water infiltration, nutrient cycling, or microbial activity
✅ Directly addresses salinity, compaction, or poor drainage
✅ Deployable at field or farm scale
✅ Measurable improvement within a few cropping seasons

Out of scope: biostimulants, seed coatings, cover crops, or standard inputs without a novel mode of action.

We're searching for electrode technologies that maintain a stable signal throughout the full duration of a plant's growth cycle.

Syngenta is seeking innovations that solve a specific problem: electrodes losing contact as monocot stems elongate through intercalary growth, causing signal loss during long-term crop stress monitoring.

What qualifies:|

✅ Stable, high-resolution signal capture for 2+ months in actively growing crops
✅ Proof-of-concept or validation data in plants or transferable electrophysiology domains
✅ Deployable in greenhouse and field conditions
✅ Micro-needles, surface electrodes, wearable/tattoo concepts, or novel attachment systems

Electrode and interface innovation only. Not complete data platforms or analytics packages.

We're on the hunt for technologies that improve the efficiency, consistency, and safety of digging and loading operations in heavy-duty off-highway environments.

A client is seeking sensors, software, analytics, or decision-support tools that give operators, supervisors, and fleet systems better real-time insight into material conditions, loading performance, and machine interaction with the dig face. Full machine control is not required.

What qualifies:

✅ Improves bucket fill factor, payload consistency, or cycle time
✅ Operator guidance, coaching, or situational awareness tools
✅ Dig-face sensing, fuel efficiency, or machine health monitoring
✅ Integration with fleet, planning, or autonomy systems

Relevant across mining, construction, earthmoving, agriculture, and defence. Commercial systems, pilots, prototypes, and technologies from adjacent sectors are all welcome.

We're on the hunt for faster, more efficient assembly solutions for heat-shrinkable compression rings and strips.

Our client is seeking a manufacturing method to accurately position and secure compression rings (or an alternative external compression solution) along a heat-shrinkable tube used to protect electrical cable joints. The goal is to replace a labor-intensive manual process with a reliable, production-ready approach that improves speed, lowers cost, and delivers consistent quality.

Here's what we're looking for:

✅ Precise positioning of compression rings or strips along a 730 mm tube
✅ Faster, lower-cost assembly than the current manual process
✅ Reliable handling of thin, flexible heat-shrink materials without twisting or folding
✅ Consistent, repeatable placement with minimal operator dependency
✅ Alternative compression methods that achieve the same functional performance are welcome

If you have a manufacturing solution that fits, we'd love to hear from you.

Encapsulating non-polar, solvent-like liquids is one of the harder problems in colloidal science. Conventional oil-based microcapsules leak under real-world conditions or rely on chemistries that contribute to microplastic load.

A yet2 client is seeking novel delivery, stabilization, and encapsulation technologies for complex non-polar functional liquids. The goal: protect the active, handle it cleanly, and trigger release on demand, with materials that are not classified as microplastic.

Areas of interest:

Emulsion and dispersion stabilization for non-polar actives
Bio-based, hybrid, or naturally derived encapsulation matrices with tuneable permeability and degradation
Trigger-based release: humidity, light, enzymatic, mechanical, or time-dependent
Spray-drying, electro-spraying, and supercritical CO2 processing routes
Alternative low-energy inputs including electromagnetic, acoustic, and microwave-assisted methods

Cross-industry solutions from food, home care, personal care, fragrance, agriculture, pharma, textiles, and advanced coatings are all in scope. Early-stage and low-TRL work from academic groups and startups is welcome.
