BizWeist—OnKure, a CU Boulder spinout, is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of best-in-class precision medicines that target biologically validated drivers of cancer.

The �Թ��� of Colorado is a national leader in startup creation with a growing suite of entrepreneurial resources giving innovative researchers opportunities to spin ideas into businesses.

BizWest—BizWest has announced the winners of its 2023 IQ Awards, which honor the “innovation quotient” among companies in the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado. This year's winners include CU Boulder startups Goodie Bag Food Co. and Prometheus Materials Inc.

Interesting Engineering—The primary goal of soft robotics is to achieve smooth and complex movement by mimicking the locomotion of soft bodies found in the environment. Researchers at CU Boulder and CU Boulder startup Artimus Robotics are leading innovation with a new type of "artificial muscle" to enable life-like movements.

New Iridium—New Iridium was awarded $1M NSF SBIR Phase II grant to advance its photocatalysis platform to produce low-carbon chemicals at a lower cost the today’s incumbent processes.

In taking its technology from the lab to the streets, Solid Power is changing how electric vehicles run with less expensive, more efficient and safer battery technology.

Say “hello” to the robots of the future: They’re soft and flexible enough to bounce off walls or squeeze into tight spaces. And when you’re done with them, you can toss these machines into a compost bin to decompose.

Chemical Engineering—The partnership with New Iridium focuses on CO2 conversion via photocatalysis, the startup’s expertise, which is an innovative solution based on the use of light sources (for example, LEDs) and CO2 from industrial emissions in combination with low-cost raw materials.

What if improving one’s athletic performance through supplements was simpler and more affordable? What if, instead of producing emissions, airplanes could take carbon out of the air? These ideas and more are realities in the making, thanks to many aspiring entrepreneurs who pitched their products at the 16th annual New Venture Challenge (NVC) finals.

Scientists from CU Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) made an important leap forward in the quest to diagnose disease using exhaled breath, reporting that a new laser-based breathalyzer—born of Nobel Prize-winning technology from CU—powered by artificial intelligence (AI) can detect COVID-19 in real-time with excellent accuracy.
