AETech Corporation
Hiroshi Sasaki
President

Industry : LED semiconductor

AETech Corporation (AETech) was founded in May, 2010 as a research and development (R&D) company of Gallium Nitride (GaN) substrate for LED lighting application.

LED lighting is becoming very popular worldwide, and this industry is expected to grow for another several years at least 15% or more growth rate. However, AETech believes, in order for LED lighting to spread in full scale, price of LED lighting should be at least half or even less from current price level. LED lighting price is as high as 10 times the price of fluorescent light, and the life of which is just about 1/3 from LED’s which is said to be about 10 years.

AETech’s prime theme is to develop better LED chips in both quality and price. To resolve this theme, AETech has acquired the patent from Dr. Yao, Emeritus Professor of Tohoku University, and has filed spherical patents invented by AETech. These technologies will enable to reduce LED cost to half or even less than current price level.

AETech is aiming at the final development of GaN substrate by the end of April/May, 2012 to start sample sale from later this year which has more than double luminance at just half price from current LED lights.

Industry : Biotechnology

In 2005, Professor Dr Suhaila Mohamed and her student, Fatihanim Mohd Noor, from the Faculty of Science and Food Technology of Universiti Putra Malaysia initiated a research to reduce the amount of oil absorption in fried food as well as reduce fat deterioration. Focus is given to fried food, as in many countries frying food is a common practice in cooking. In 2007, they successfully patent their finding which is an extract from selected plants. This extract is the first natural phenolic based additive that, not only reduces oil absorption in fried food, but also retard oxidation with no harmful side effects. This additive is named Add-X.

Add-X, when incorporated with cooking oil would render the oil composition to be more resistant upon oxidation under prolong heating while reducing oil absorption in fried food. Subsequently, consumption of the prepared food is less likely to contribute to obesity and other harmful effect on the health of consumers due to the less excessive intake of fat or calories.

Cooking oil would also be less wasteful with the addition of Add-X in it as it would be more resistance against degradation due to oxidation. Thus, the volume of cooking oil required will be less to fry the same amount of food as compared to cooking oil without Add-X added. It is also an environmental friendly product as it is capable of enhancing cooking oil usage efficiency, thus reducing the amount of oil waste to be discarded.

Clearbridge BioMedics Pte Ltd
Johnson Chen
Managing Director

Industry : Medical Device

Clearbridge BioMedics Pte Ltd is a National University of Singapore spin-off company that is developing the next generation of cancer diagnostic tests using cutting edge microfluidics technology.

Building on years of research by Professor Lim Chwee Teck from the Department of Bioengineering, Clearbridge BioMedics has developed a microfluidic biochip that can capture rare Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) using agnostic and label-free methods. Such approaches are key to the accurate detection of CTCs as the current methods using cell surface biomarkers and antibodies are potentially too specific. Cancer cells can undergo rapid genetic changes, leading to varying cell surface antigen expression and this could lead to incomplete detection of CTCs when antibody based methods are used. The use of CTCs in a rapid, point-of-care liquid biopsy will pave the way to improved cancer detection assays, and revolutionize cancer management.

The huge potential of this technology lead to the formation of Clearbridge BioMedics, to commercialize this technology and develop it into an in vitro diagnostic test that will greatly impact cancer management.
