Introducing DeepTech Unleashed

In this episode of DeepTech Unleashed, host Christian Noske sits down with Francesco De Stefano, co-founder and CEO of Caracol. Founded in Italy, Caracol is a pioneer in Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM). By combining robotic arms, sophisticated software, and circular materials, Caracol prints massive industrial parts for demanding sectors including aerospace, maritime, automotive, and energy.

In this episode of DeepTech Unleashed, host Christian Noske sits down with Adrien Briod, co-founder and CTO of Flyability. Founded in 2014 as a spin-off from EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, Flyability is a global pioneer in indoor inspection robotics. Their collision-tolerant drones allow heavy industries—ranging from power generation and mining to chemical refining—to inspect hazardous, confined spaces without putting human lives at risk.

In this episode of DeepTech Unleashed, host Christian Noske sits down with Sai Shivareddy, the CEO and co-founder of Nyobolt. Born out of a decade of cutting-edge research at the University of Cambridge, Nyobolt is a battery scale-up tackling the all-important last metre of energy storage. Their revolutionary technology enables ultrafast charging, reaching an 80% charge in under five minutes, without the typical degradation associated with conventional lithium-ion batteries.

In this episode of DeepTech Unleashed, host and partner at NGP Capital, Upal Basu, sits down with Brian Manning, Co-Founder and CEO of Xona, to explore the future of satellite navigation. Xona is pioneering a secure, high-performance navigation system from low Earth orbit (LEO) designed to meet the demands of modern automation, providing accuracy down to the centimetre level.

In this episode of DeepTech Unleashed, host Christian Noske sits down with Rhona Togher, the CEO and co-founder of Lios. Based in Dublin, Lios is on a mission to reduce noise pollution and prevent hearing damage through advanced material science. Rhona and her co-founder, Eimear O'Carroll, have developed SoundBounce, an award-winning acoustic material that is thinner, lighter, and significantly more effective at dampening low-frequency noise than traditional solutions. From its origins as a school science project to winning the European Patent Office’s Invention of the Year 2023, Rhona shares the remarkable story of Lios’s growth. The conversation explores the challenges of building a hardware powerhouse in a risk-averse industry, the importance of long-term customer relationships, and the unique dynamics of a co-founder partnership that began in high school.
