Magnes AG (Main partner): Magnes is a spinoff of the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems of ETH Zurich. Magnes has developed a disruptive real-life-monitoring solution to analyze walk patterns of patients with neurological disorders. It is the only solution to give direct vibrotactile biofeedback to patients. Using smart sensors embedded in sneaker-like shoes it collects data while the patient is walking or doing daily activities. Magnes AI processes the data to generate automatic reports and provide the patient with direct feedback on their gait or warn/prevent situations like falling. The technology can change the way clinical trials are performed today and improve efficacy by enabling data-driven therapy through tailored medication dosage.

Established in 2002, by the will of Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi-Montalcini, EBRI addresses the need for a center in Europe where fundamental research on the brain can be conducted with the aim of identifying new therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and other serious disorders of the nervous system. The goal of the European Brain Research Institute is to study the biological basis of the higher functions of the mammalian brain: the relationships between mind and brain and the mechanisms of memory. Today, there are technologies that allow the brain to be studied at every level of its complexity and EBRI will utilize new technologies such as those provided by genetics, molecular biology, neurophysiology, cellular and molecular imaging, computer sciences, and the study of behavior and, above all, emerging genomic and proteomic technologies.

Deep Blue is an Italian company, founded in 2001, that specializes in research and consulting on human-centered design and validation in transport, manufacturing, healthcare, and environment. Its mission is to help organizations innovate by analyzing problems and procedures, designing tailored solutions, and validating them in the field. They provide consultancy in human factors, safety, security, and sustainability, as well as professional training. It has gained an international reputation due to its extensive high-quality contribution to the field of aviation and air traffic control. They are the first SME to participate in a number of projects in safety and aviation under H2020. Deep Blue served the European Commission, Eurocontrol, and SESAR Joint Undertaking, among other EU bodies.
