Eurekite is the first worldwide provider of nanotechnology based flexible ceramics. They have developed a flexible ceramic PCB concept, merging the flexibility and lightweight of the polymer with the temperature stability and electrical insulation of a ceramic PCB. The concept offers a low dielectric constant and losses while keeping relatively high dielectric strength, thus providing an excellent platform for high quality signal transmission in several environments. The heat conductivity of the flexible ceramic PCB is much superior to that of the standard ceramic PCB. This unique capability of the flexible ceramic PCBs is one of the innovations enabled on the ceramic nanotechnology platform and the first product the company plans to bring the market. The flexible ceramic PCB can create breakthroughs in the fields of telecommunications, power electronics and high temperature sensing. Its properties will enable industry to break the design rules of electronic systems and devices, paving the way for new novel product concepts.

The damage birds inflict at airports worldwide is estimated in the billions of dollars, including both property damage and occasionally loss of life. Birds also create billions of dollars of damage in agriculture, at waste management sites, oil and gas industrial sites and at harbors. The problem is that birds are intelligent and learn how to circumnavigate existing bird control solutions. Clear Flight Solutions builds lifelike robotic birds, "robirds," that mimic the real flight of a peregrine falcon (a natural predator for most nuisance birds) so well that real birds believe they are their natural enemies. This natural approach plays on the fear instinct of the birds, which short circuits the learning process and prevents habituation.
