We have developed in cooperation with the Technical University an atractive Small Electric Vehicle of category L/6/L7 for the city transportation. Vehicles are designed for manufacturing in micro-factories close to consumer markets, to optimize logistics & increase the efficiency of supply chains. We offer a licence (Franchise) and a production line to start a perspective electromobile business. We are also open to discuss another way of cooperation, for example Joint-Venture either in your country or in the Czech republic, but franchising enables to start with a smaller investment. Last but not least option is a Technology transfer which is intended for a competent and forward-looking entity planning to develop an international business. The Technology transfer, which is prefered, seems to be the most probable in view of the circumstances.

• Patents for licensing

This technology relates to the synthetic pathway for non-toxic, water-soluble antifouling compounds capable of preserving underwater surface integrity. The compounds developed are environmentally friendly solutions that meet the needs of the market. The agents inspired by natural products are less toxic and economical. The compound's effectiveness has already been proven in the laboratory on commercial marine paints and are more effective than one of the newer biocides. A proof-of-concept in ocean (30 weeks) allowed to obtain promising results compared to a 30% copper formulation.

TwiSCo is a Digital Twin solution demonstrator whose purpose is to promote the sharing of data on construction products in order to finally have complete, accurate and reliable data on a built asset and thus be able to better manage its construction, maintenance and end of life, and to reduce the gap between designed and as-built performance of future constructions. To this aim, TwiSCo offers value-added services which, by enabling players of the construction supply chain to optimize their practices, lead them to formalize and structure their data, and to share them with a win-win perspective. Here are some examples of the gains that the construction supply chain can expect from the tool: Development of new BIM use cases dedicated to the construction phase of buildings, using IFC data coming from BIM models in order to optimize material deliveries on construction sites; Integration of product data from manufacturers (according to new ISO 23386 and 23387) using an ontology to ensure collaboration and efficient data exchanges; de facto, enrichment of as-built model; Implementation of Just-in-Time logistics through a web platform where construction companies and their subcontractors can customize kits and define where they will be delivered and installed, how it should be packaged and when it should be delivered; ·Better control of delivery conditions through the integration of sensors data on site; ·Customization of delivery means and constraints for each project based on user defined business rules ; ·Improved monitoring of the construction site thanks to parcel tracking that enables to locate the place where a material is stored or installed; ·Multi criteria evaluation of current delivery scenarios and alerts on unmanaged constraints; ·Proposition of optimized delivery scenarios calculated by a genetic algorithm.
