BATCH 2 – START 2022 (COMPLETED)

That was the second batch of the NHA!

The teams of Sera from Immenhausen with MesoMat from Hamilton (CA), the Kassel-based transition system specialist Hübner with Cozero from Berlin, the Kassel-based Viessmann Group with Blue Heart Energy from Alkmaar (NL), Die Pharmadrucker from Melsungen with innovey from Bremen and W. & L. Jordan from Kassel with Planner 5D

from Vilnius (LT) cooperated successfully.

That’s what the new round of the second batches was all about:

predictive maintenance
of pumps

Sera | MesoMat

predictive maintenance of pumps

The Canadian start-up MesoMat and Immenhausen-based sera GmbH are developing a sensor system for a membrane to predict maintenance intervals. They collaborate to create a new sensor system for a diaphragm that predicts maintenance intervals. sera pumps are widely used in different industries. The new sensor technology aims to predict faults and prevent failures.

identification of the
CO2 footprint

Hübner | Cozero

identification of the CO2 footprint

The Kassel-based HÜBNER Group, in cooperation with Berlin-based Cozero GmbH, convinced the jury with a project that aims to reduce a company's carbon footprint in the long term and to identify opportunities for decarbonisation. With the help of an easy-to-use tool based on a standard spreadsheet, HÜBNER itself can create these CO2 footprints and make them available to customers.

heat pump
optimisation

Viessmann | Blue Heart

heat pump optimisation

In the collaboration between the Dutch company BlueHeart energy and Viessmann, the experts focused on increasing the efficiency of heat pumps. The models of the future are to be compatible with every type of building without more costly additional measures and thus become significantly more affordable, so that more households can afford this type of energy generation.

3D room
& carpet planner

Jordan | Planner 5D

3D room & carpet planner

The cooperation between W. & L. Jordan GmbH and Planner5D from Lithuania enables room planning with almost all senses. Together, the companies implemented a solution to integrate floor coverings into a precisely fitting plan and to enable consultants and customers to configure with the intended interior. In addition, the planning software can be used to replace and standardise the existing different configurators.

automated
funding search

Die Pharmadrucker | innovey

automated funding search

Die Pharmadrucker from Melsungen and the start-up Innovey from Bremen present their cooperation. When looking for funding for various projects, many get lost in the sprawling requirements and forms. Innovey's app picks up exactly where it left off and helps with a simple search mask to find the right funding. In this way, SMEs in particular can push ahead with their disruptive ideas and benefit from dynamic innovations.

get to know us

We at NHA are always very happy to welcome you in person at events and to show you what interesting solutions the

start-ups and medium-sized companies have developed together in a short time. At the last 6 events, we were able to meet almost 400 participants.

On 28.03.2023, the NHA “Demo Day” took place in the Science Park Kassel. In addition to an exciting panel discussion on the topic of sustainability & innovation, we welcomed extreme athlete Jonas Deichmann as keynote speaker.

BATCH 1 – START 2021 (completed)

That was the first batch of the NHA!

The teams of Faubel from Melsungen with Saralon from Chemnitz, W. & L. Jordan from Kassel with immersight from Ulm, the Kassel-based transition system specialist Hübner with Footfalls and Heartbeats from Nottingham (UK), and the Viessmann Group with Vypno cooperated successfully.

That’s what the first batch, which ran until March 24, 2022, was all about:

Intelligent
Transition Systems

Hübner | Footfalls & Heartbeats

Intelligent
transition systems

Together with the British startup Footfalls & Heartbeats, HÜBNER has developed a use case for intelligent transition systems. By integrating sensors into elastomer-coated textiles, e.g. for transition systems of articulated buses or streetcar vehicles, data is generated to derive information about operating conditions during the journey.

Satellite based roof detection

Viessmann | Vypno

Satellite based roof detection

In the collaboration project between Viessmann and the startup Vypno, the measurement of roofs for the preparation of offers for PV systems was innovated. Based on satellite images, roofs including interfering surfaces can now be measured in a matter of seconds by a semi-skilled AI.

Virtual workspace

Jordan | Immersight

Virtual workspace

The creation of a virtual workspace was the objective of Jordan and the startup Immersight. With a 360° camera, a digital twin of the room was created in which measurements, documentation of work results and the use of the images in a virtual showroom for the flooring and interior design trade are possible.

Intelligent blisters

Faubel | Saralon

Intelligent blisters

The project team around Faubel and Saralon focused on tablet blisters with printed conductive tracks, which are intended to store the time at which the medication is taken. Based on several printing tests at Faubel, Saralon developed a special ink that plays a decisive role in the production of a "smart blister.
