3. UbiQD
Developer of low-cost quantum dots for industrial applications. The company produces low-toxicity quantum dots, which are being used to develop semi-transparent windows that convert the energy-passive facades of buildings into distributed energy generation units, while simultaneously reducing the heat gain of the building. The technology works by tinting a window with a fluorophore that absorbs sunlight and subsequently luminesces monochromatic light. This light is guided through the window to the edge where a small PV device converts the light into electricity. The LSC is semi-transparent, and filters visible light neutrally, so as not to impart unnatural colour to the transmitted light.
