Meet our startups
AURAX
Aurax is a Barcelona-based technology startup redefining how people interact with the digital world. We design human-centered, hands-free technologies that put people back in control of their digital lives.
Our first product, MouthX, is a custom-made intraoral wearable that enables precise, hands-free control of smartphones, computers and digital environments using subtle movements of the tongue, jaw and head. Designed to be discreet, comfortable and intuitive, MouthX empowers people with limited upper-limb mobility to access technology with the same freedom, speed and precision as traditional input devices.
At Aurax, we believe technology should adapt to people, not the other way around. Our mission is to unlock digital autonomy and create a more inclusive future through innovation, accessibility and thoughtful design.

ATOM H2
ATOM H2 develops a containerised hybrid energy systems that replace diesel generators in critical, off-grid and weak-grid infrastructure. The solution combines solar panels, lithium batteries for daily storage, and solid-state hydrogen storage for long-duration backup—delivering clean, reliable power with fast response and high uptime.
Designed for critical assets such as telecom sites and other essential infrastructure, the system addresses the real pain points operators face: recurring grid instability, expensive maintenance, noise constraints, and fuel-logistics risk. By reducing diesel dependency, it cuts CO₂ emissions and operational complexity while improving resilience during long outages.
When the Iberian Peninsula blackout in April 2025 left entire regions without electricity, it made something clear: modern life depends on infrastructure that must stay on—communications, emergency services, and basic coordination. ATOM H2 is built to keep those critical systems running when the grid fails, with a scalable platform that can be deployed quickly and monitored remotely.

HYDROSKIN
Hydroskin is redefining the maritime industry with a disruptive technology, an advanced high-performance coating designed to prevent biofouling adhesion and minimize hydrodynamic drag, significantly improving vessel efficiency while reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
In one sentence: Ultra-durable, biocide-free coatings that save fuel, extend vessel life, and safeguard marine ecosystems.

POSEIDONA
Poseidona transforms recovered and invasive seaweeds into functional and bioactive ingredients through a patented biotechnological process to upgrade low-value marine biomass into clean-label solutions for food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic markets, combining sustainability with high-margin applications. With first products ready for market, Poseidona is raising a Seed round to scale commercialization.
