ispace technologies Inc. is a space resource exploration company founded in 2013 to develop micro-robots that will locate the resources necessary to extend human life into outer space. ispace manages the technological and business development operations of Team HAKUTO in the Google Lunar XPRIZE Competition. Team Hakuto is a front runner in the $30M competition to land a privately funded robot on the Moon and was one of only three teams to win a $500,000 Milestone Prize in mobility. ispace specializes in developing extremely mass and power-efficient sensors and mobility systems to maintain cutting edge performance for even the smallest swarm systems. Utilizing this technology allows mission architectures to be eminently scalable: as the mission size increases, so does the ispace robot swarm. ispace micro-robots will explore larger areas faster, at a fraction of the cost of large robots.

Tempo Technologies is the leading innovator of RFID-based inventory and asset management systems. We help organizations automate and streamline to reduce costs and increase efficiency using our proprietary, cutting-edge technologies. SmartPart is an award-winning cloud-based software platform that helps organizations: - Increase efficiency, accuracy and traceability - Automate and streamline counting, picking, shipping and workflows - Reduce labor, material and machine operating costs - Reduce losses, downtime, errors and much more SmartPart makes it easy to track, locate, count, process and maintain inventory and assets. Tempo's best-in-class RFID and barcode scanning hardware solutions are fully integrated with our SmartPart software, allowing for rapid, cost-effective and highly scalable system implementations. Other vendors force you to adapt to "one-size-fits-all" solutions. These solutions are either overly-complex - making them inefficient, confusing and user-unfriendly - or they have limited functionality and feature gaps. Tempo takes the opposite approach. We work closely with each customer to determine goals, timelines, budgets and operational restrictions. We customize our highly-flexible software and hardware solutions to meet the specific requirements of each project. This tailored approach ensures success, allowing us to provide efficient, cost-effective solutions that are easy to use and highly scalable. We provide complete solutions that include all necessary components for each project. This includes software, hardware, tags, printers, onsite installation services, custom software development, integration with ERPs and other software, maintenance and ongoing support.

From prototype to production, karkhana.io helps teams build products faster We are building an on-demand manufacturing platform to bring manufacturing to the desktop through a customer focussed, computer co-ordinated supply chain. We are enabling faster product development by making users submit a digital file of the part they need on karkhana.io and receive unbiased, high quality expert manufacturing advice as well as quotation for manufacturing based on the company's algorithm. Because of high volume of orders across our network, we will be able to pool multiple jobs into a single batch and achieve economy of scale. By quickly identifying the shops and machines best suited for each job and intelligently routing orders, we can offer a far shorter turnaround time than that of traditional manufacturers
