Liver diseases represent a major global health crisis, affecting 25% of adults worldwide and often progressing silently until severe complications emerge, such as cancer and need for transplantation. Current diagnostic methods have numerous challenges: while the traditional enzymatic blood tests, imaging techniques and tissue biopsy lack in sensitivity and specificity, existing liquid biopsy solutions primarily focus on cancer detection using conventional genomic approaches, leaving a wide range of other liver conditions unaddressed. As a part of its mission to provide unparalleled information about disease processes in the patient’s internal organs and immune system, Senseera has developed the Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfChIP-seq) platform, a groundbreaking technology for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases via a simple and affordable liquid biopsy blood test. The platform reads gene activity maps that signal liver disease, with Senseera's patented technology, proprietary computational pipeline, and machine learning algorithms, enabling not only the identification of tissue damage, but also its underlying causes. The innovation has been validated on more than 20,000 human clinical samples, in collaboration with multiple clinics, biotech and pharma companies worldwide, with the results demonstrating the platform stability, reproducibility and high accuracy. Within the scope of the proposed project, Senseera will complete the clinical demonstration and launch cfChIP-seq as the first and only tool for non-invasive detection of liver transplant rejection. By further developing the platform application to enable early and accurate detection of a wide range of specific liver diseases, Senseera opens an unprecedented opportunity to bring molecular diagnosis to the next level, transforming liver disease diagnostics, improving patient outcomes and reducing the societal and economic burden of liver diseases.

The EU is facing a critical juncture in its freight transport sector. With trucks dominating over 50% of intra-EU freight transport and contributing significantly to CO2 emissions, there's an urgent need to pivot to more sustainable methods as the economy—and consequently freight transport—is projected to grow substantially by 2030 and 2050. This growth trajectory, if unaltered, threatens to exacerbate emissions and road congestion. Full truck loadings (FTL), while flexible, are becoming increasingly unsustainable. Intermodal transportation, which combines different transport modes like road, rail, barge, and sea in a single supply chain, offers a viable solution. It promises sustainability through the sea leg and flexibility through inland transport modes. With the EU advocating a shift of long-distance road freight to rail or waterborne transport by 2050, intermodal transport is not just a strategic alternative but a necessity. However, the shift to intermodal transport is hampered by digital bottlenecks. The current infrastructure lacks centralized, accurate data and seamless coordination among the myriad of stakeholders involved. Logistics managers are encumbered by the fragmented landscape, reverting to traditional, less sustainable methods. BuyCo will revolutionize this space. Its innovative platform will automate and centralize the intermodal supply chain, making planning, booking, and tracking across modes simple and efficient. With advanced AI, it will integrate data from carriers, providing a single hub for collaboration and driving efficiency and sustainability in the EU transport sector. BuyCo will make intermodal transport a compelling alternative, significantly reducing the EU's CO2 footprint and overall costs. This step forward, positions BuyCo at the forefront of the EU's freight transport evolution, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient future.

300 TWh energy – that’s €51 billion – from heat sources is wasted every year in the EU due to the lack of cost-efficient, space-saving, and scalable storage systems. Heat losses equal net heat demand – a dramatic waste of resources and capital. Industrial companies and energy producers waste excess energy because intermediate storage or conversion to electricity is not economic. With KRAFTBLOCK, economic energy storage and conversion becomes affordable for the first time. Our patented storage granule is produced from 85% upcycled blast furnace slag and a self-developed binding agent. With this patented granule, storage-capacity/m³ is increased by a factor of 10 while the storage price per MWh is reduced by a factor of 12. The granule is part of our energy storage system, which are stackable units of 60MWh, enabling heat-to-heat, heat-to-power, power-to-heat, and power-to-power operations in the steel, glass, ceramics, metal, cement, food and paper industry.

The SQUEEZE consortium comprehensively addressed how biomarkers can be used to optimize disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is a chronic immune-mediated disease with enormous health-related quality of life and socioeconomic impact. A broad choice of DMARDs with different targets is up to date available in clinical care, however without sufficient markers indicating the best choice for a particular patient, treatment strategies can be ineffective, cumbersome and expensive. The team of leading academic centres with a first-class record in translational and clinical research, together with patients and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) has set out to deliver a collaborative programme to advance the clinical application of biomarkers to improve benefit, safety, and value of approved DMARDs. SQUEEZE utilizes models from data science, clinical trials, translational science, and behavioural science to engage in a complementary, synergistic, and non-overlapping manner addressing the use of biomarkers to improve the ability to select the DMARD with the highest likelihood of fitting the immunophenotypic and clinical profile of the patient, to optimise dose and route of existing DMARDs; and to inform an innovative model of care focusing on patient´s preferences and needs to increase adherence to prescribed drugs. Through nine dedicated work packages SQUEEZE integrates to validate clinical, laboratory, molecular, digital and behavioural biomarkers to enable the recognition of patients with high likelihood of response to treatment and the selection of the drug with highest chance of benefit for an individual patient; and as such improve efficacy and safety of existing therapies (by squeezing the most out of existing drugs) in synergy with other EU-wide activities.
