Henkel (Düsseldorf, Germany) and LAIIER (London, UK) have announced a partnership to scale novel printed electronics solutions for smart building applications. Jointly the companies aim to drive the implementation of LAIIER´s Severn Water Leak Detector for commercial and industrial buildings and to combine their unique technology and innovation capabilities to further develop the solution. The novel sensor system solution aims to detect water leakages in buildings at a much earlier stage to minimise the high repair costs resulting from a water leak.
Microelectromechanical sensors are essential components in all walks of life. However, bringing biospecific elements into miniaturised sensors has been a challenge, obstructing the development of bioanalytical applications. A new European project aims to change this by developing key enabling technologies for producing silicon-based multiplexed biosensors rapidly and cost-effectively. This could transform semiconductor-based biosensor industries in Europe.
Pixelligent Technologies LLC (Baltimore, Maryland) has secured $38 million in non-dilutive growth capital backed by its intellectual property portfolio. The capital was provided by a funding vehicle managed by MVolution Partners LLC and facilitated by insurance and valuation services provided by Aon. This additional growth capital brings the company’s total funding in this round to over $45 million, including equity capital from its strategic and financial shareholders.
