Investment portfolio

Synergis Technologies shares a track record of success with our parent company Porton Capital in supporting new and cutting edge technologies, some of which include:

WAT

Warwick Audio Technologies

Warwick Audio Technologies has developed a thin film loudspeaker technology which is as flexible as paper, can be shaped and is multi-directional. The technology has a diverse range of applications, from consumer entertainment markets through to industrial and automotive usage. It offers vastly superior quality and ease of deployment over current loudspeaker systems.

Microvisk

Microvisk

Microvisk has developed a novel viscometer that can physically measure pro-thrombin times for blood coagulation. This is of particularly importance for those on anti-coagulants. The technology is of particular importance as it enables early detection of an individual’s tendency to suffer a stroke or other blood clotting disorder.

Petrra

Petrra

Petrra has developed a positron emission tomography system for earlier and more accurate diagnosis of heart disease and cancer, at significantly lower cost to healthcare providers. Petrra provides non-invasive imaging of the body to detect abnormalities.

WWarp

Warwick Warp

Warwick Warp has developed a series of software algorithms to enable a more accurate fingerprint recognition method primarily for the user authentication and civil access control markets. The software incorporates non-linear deformation, shading corrections and third level features to better match fingerprint data sets.

Acal

Acal Energy

Acal has developed a novel fuel cathode technology that can dramatically reduce the cost of fuel cell production, by eliminating the need for precious metals in cathode manufacture. The technology has the potential to enable fuel cell systems to run up to five times longer than is currently possible

Psynova Neurotech Limited

Psynova is the Synergis Seed Fund's first investment. Originating from the University of Cambridge's Institute of Biotechnology, and associated with the Cambridge Centre for Neuropsychiatric Research (CCNR), Psynova is developing a series of biomarkers to both diagnose and better treat neuropsychiatric conditions such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, and other significant mental illnesses. The company is working on a novel, precise, blood based clinical test for these illnesses to replace conventional interview and therapy diagnosis. The Synergis Seed Fund is providing the first tranche of an anticipated overall £2M commitment from Porton Capital.
