A total of 125 start-ups submitted their applications for the programme, which aims to create a platform for technology developers to take their solutions to the oil and gas market.
Following a review process, involving more than 50 TechX mentors, partners and members of the Technology Centre, 16 finalists were selected.
Finalists are Blue Gentoo, Deep Cryogenics, DeepMiner, Envio, Immaterial Labs, Innerpath Technologies, Paragon Inspection, PicSea, Qwilka, RAB Microfluidics, Resolute Energy Solutions, Sensalytx, Specialist Safety Systems, Tenzor Geo, test 1 srl, and Tubular Sciences.
TechX director David Millar said: “We believe that the 16 finalists selected to pitch have technology ideas that could truly transform the future of the oil and gas industry.”
Companies selected will be given a chance to present their business and technology idea to a panel of industry experts on 7 March in the Technology Centre’s Innovation Hub.
