Three DTU teams won their categories in the Venture Cup Startup Competition 2012 finals held at Copenhagen City Hall. Biosyntia won the Cleantech & Environment category. The team has invented a technology that promotes enzymes and pathways, which may prove crucial to making biofuel the energy resource of the future. Windshare succeeded in the Mobile & Web category. The team has invented a pocket-sized WindSensor and the application WindShare, which provides instant shareable knowledge about the wind at a very competitive price. Optical Accelerometer won the Product & Technology category and has developed a cost-effective optical sensor that can help cut costs linked to repairing wind turbines. The sensor provides notification when a wind turbine is on the point of breaking down, allowing repairs to be carried out before major damage occurs.
