VOCSens, founded in 2019 as a spin-off from the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) in Belgium, aims to meet the global demand for precise and cost-effective gas sensors. These sensors facilitate accurate monitoring of gas emissions and indoor air quality across various industrial sectors, ensuring ambient air quality and safety, tracking the effectiveness of interventions, and enabling compliant impact reporting. The widespread adoption of accurate emission and air quality monitoring is currently limited by existing sensing technologies that fail to provide the necessary miniaturization, durability, and versatility for effective pollutant and hazardous gas detection. VOCSens addresses these challenges by developing and marketing highly selective and affordable multi-gas sensing technology, utilizing its patented CMOSEnvi™ technology. This technology, based on nanomaterials integrated on a semiconductor chip, allows for up to 16 multi-gas measurements with high selectivity and exceptional durability. VOCSens stands out as the only company offering multi-gas detection on a single sensor while ensuring miniaturization, selectivity, and a low total cost of ownership. While our sensors can be used in various industries, our initial market focus is on the agricultural sector, particularly livestock farming, and the smart building industry. With support from the EIC, we aim to complete crucial development steps to achieve TRL 8, capitalize on market opportunities, and successfully enter the market, thereby creating significant economic and environmental impacts.

MOSAIC addresses a grand challenge for European competitiveness: technological independence and filled fabs in the landscape of automated systems. By fostering innovation in Electronic Components and Systems (ECS), MOSAIC aims to propel Europe to excellence and digital autonomy, directly linked to the EU Chips Act. The project achieves this through a comprehensive strategy. It will develop next-generation ECS offering superior, cognitive system intelligence, enabling energy efficiency and robustness. These results will be tailored to the demands of automated systems, enabling rapid data processing and intuitive, AI-enabled decision- making. MOSAIC tackles the challenge of integrating diverse perception hardware configurations, ensuring that automated systems can perceive their surroundings in a non-invasive manner, avoiding a single point of failure, with unparalleled accuracy and decreased complexity. Additionally, the project emphasizes standardized communication protocols and interoperability, fostering a collaborative ecosystem across several industries, namely automotive, aerospace, maritime, industrial automation and infrastructures. By spearheading such advancements, MOSAIC empowers European ECS manufacturers to gain a competitive advantage. The project's achievements will be demonstrated in 31 cutting-edge technical showcases, indicatively global perception through 360° distributed radar, AI-enabled reasoning through magnetic field signature and resilient communications by means of non-terrestrial networks. 2 accompanying impact studies, will solidify Europe's position as a global leader in automated systems. MOSAIC leverages a pan-European consortium encompassing the entire ECS value chain, ensuring a comprehensive effort towards filling the European fabs and ensuring digital sovereignty. In essence, MOSAIC is an investment in Europe's future – a secure digital future of technological leadership, economic prosperity, and strategic independence.
