• Optistring was developed by Anders Lindgren, Stockholm and his team. Innovation is a VSD system for photovoltaic panels where the system controls the conversion on a panel level, which increases energy yield by up to 25 percent.

• MicProS developed by Matilda Olstorpe from Uppsala and her team. The innovation converts waste and food waste into protein feed for fish farms.
