Svarovsky, s.r.o. is the largest European manufacturer of white canes with a 20-year tradition. They produce circa 18,000 items annually, of which 90% of them are intended for export.
Czech Space Research Center company participated on the European Laser Timing project – ESA ACES experiment. This project used the principle of detecting the impact of a photon sent by a laser on a SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) sensor. The moment of photon impact is sensed by the SPAD detector with such a resolution that it allows the calculation of the distance with very high accuracy.
Svarovsky, s.r.o. decided to use this sensor technology to create a device that could be integrated into the handle of a blind cane and would allow the user to keep an awareness of their surroundings using an acoustic signal or vibration.
The project was scouted by Technology Centre Prague and supported by €60,000 from the ESA Spark Funding programme within the project ESA Technology Broker.

In order to improve services in the field of Photonics Integrated Circuits (PIC), Czech R&D company Argotech sought cooperation with ESA Technology Broker. In order to overcome the challenges associated with high-frequency signals and electromagnetic interference, Argotech and ESA Technology Broker drafted a technology need for a suitable solution that would result in a reduction of the time required to test Argotech’s designs. Through the distribution of the need in the international network of ESA Technology Brokers, a connection was made with CST (later acquired by Dassault), a German company specialising in software analysis of electromagnetic components and systems, including space ones. By eventually successfully applying their software into the texting processes, Argotech has significantly reduced simulation processing time and improved the accuracy of high-frequency data transfer modelling for PIC-based solutions. These advances have enabled Argotech to optimize its products and increase its capabilities in projects such as the PhLEXSAT photo receiver for satellites. 

Technology transfer between ADVACAM s.r.o. and the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics of the Czech Technical University in Prague (IEAP).

ADVACAM s.r.o., a company providing radiation imaging cameras and spectral imaging detectors for imaging solutions, was involved in activities to support technology transfer in the field of Space implemented by the Technology Centre Prague within the ESA Technology Broker project. As a result, the company cooperated with IEAP on a project to develop a pixel particle detector for radiation monitors for terrestrial applications. IEAP uses this technology on a license fee basis and they have entered foreign markets successfully with the new product.

A leading innovator in virtual prototyping software Mecas ESI fostered an interior noise decrease in ŠKODA transportation.

Thanks to the in-depth knowledge of virtual prototyping in software and manufacturing industries, an established Czech transportation manufacturer was able to use Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) in vibro-acoustic simulation, and thus significantly decrease interior noise levels in subway rail vehicles. 

Czech software and systems engineering company Space Systems Czech upgraded an archaeology map of the Czech Republic for the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague.

The engineering company translated its know-how in software development for critical infrastructure into a mapping system. During this process, errors and failures were removed due to knowledge of Big Data and GIS, additional functions were added.
