LISBON, Portugal, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — G Camp, a startup incubation platform dedicated to bringing Taiwan’s startups to the global stage, is leading eight exceptional Taiwanese startups to participate in Web Summit, Europe’s largest and most influential tech event. Web Summit will take place in Lisbon, Portugal from November 11 to 14, 2024, at the MEO Arena, where G Camp will host a dedicated Taiwan startup pavilion. The goal is to showcase Taiwan’s innovative capabilities to the world, foster connections with global industries, and create new international business opportunities.

Since 2018, G Camp has been committed to helping Taiwanese startups connect to international resources. Through its “International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Camp,” it provides startups with international mentorship, guidance for participating in overseas exhibitions, and business connections. Over the past seven years, G Camp has nurtured over 100 Taiwanese startups, expanding their reach into international markets across 47 countries and generating more than US$25,000,000 in business opportunities.

For this 8th cohort of G Camp, a collaboration with Silicon Valley’s 10X Innovation Lab provided a three-day intensive training camp conducted entirely in English. The training camp offered lectures on the Silicon Valley venture capital ecosystem, fundraising strategies, and interactive workshops. Startups engaged in simulated business negotiations, and guidance was given on building LinkedIn connections and crafting international business presentations. Teams received personalized one-on-one coaching to develop overseas expansion strategies covering product development, marketing, and market entry.

After a rigorous selection process, 20 startup teams presented their progress in a final pitch competition in August. A panel of 11 experts in the venture capital and corporate sectors from Taiwan, the U.S., Japan, and Singapore selected the top eight startups to represent Taiwan at Web Summit 2024. The selected teams span five major fields: AI, green technology, the circular economy, medical technology, and information security.

The participating companies include:

Megasense Technology Corp.: Partnering with the Taipei Metro, they provide safety detection radar systems for the automotive and industrial safety markets.Frontier.cool Inc.: The world’s largest digital textile cloud platform, favored by brands like adidas and Under Armour.Turing Space: A global digital certification platform endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), with over 400 organizations onboarded.Strong & Wise Material Tech Company: Uses patented AI technology to convert over 90% of textile waste into green building materials, and used in projects such as recent Winter Olympic venues.PackAge Plus: Taiwan’s largest reusable packaging company, working to make Taiwan a sustainable island through its circular economy solutions.Jmem Tek: Backed by 500 Global, Jmem Technology offers an unhackable solution to prevent chip data theft and illegal copying.Coherence Bio: Backed by SparkLabs Taiwan, Coherence Biotech revolutionizes lab operations with automation solutions.AiSeed Tech: Developer of long-endurance, wind-resistant AI drones, with military contracts in Taiwan.

Web Summit, often hailed as Europe’s most prominent innovation and tech event, brings together leading tech companies such as SAP, IBM, and VISA, along with global media outlets like TIME, The New York Times, and Vogue Business. The 2024 edition is expected to attract more than 3,000 startups and 1,000 investors, as well as a total of 70,000 professionals from the tech industry. This event presents a prime opportunity for Taiwan’s startups to network with international corporations and investors, potentially securing collaborations and elevating the visibility of Taiwan’s startup ecosystem on the global stage.

Exploring Opportunities in Portugal and Spain’s Startup Ecosystems

In addition to participating in Web Summit, G Camp will also lead Taiwan’s startups to engage with Portugal and Spain’s thriving startup networks for the first time. The Taiwanese startup teams have already received invitations from several Portuguese and Spanish incubators and accelerators. An international roadshow featuring a series of bilateral meetings are planned, helping Taiwanese startups connect with global corporations and expand their footprint in international markets. Spain’s startup ecosystem is renowned for its diversity and global reach, ranking third in Europe according to a report on Europe’s top innovation hubs. The capital city, Madrid, boasts robust incubation and acceleration programs that continue to attract international startups and investors, particularly in sectors such as transportation, energy, and cybersecurity. By fostering these exchanges, Taiwan’s startups hope to ignite new collaborations and business opportunities with their Portuguese Spanish counterparts.

The Ultra-Processive UltraMarathonRT Kit Enables Consistent, Robust Amplification of Long RNAs in 80 Minutes with Very Low RNA Input

BRANFORD, Conn., Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RNAConnect, a pioneering life science reagent company, today announced the launch of the UltraMarathonRT® Two-Step RT-PCR Kit, a next-generation solution for researchers conducting RNA-to-cDNA conversion and amplification experiments. Designed for enhanced processivity, sensitivity, and fidelity, this kit offers a valuable solution for scientists working with complex, long, or highly structured RNA templates.

The UltraMarathonRT® Two-Step RT-PCR Kit is engineered to support a wide range of research applications, including gene expression analysis, full-length isoform analysis, long or structured RNA analysis with low input, full-length virus genome analysis, and molecular cloning. This versatile kit provides researchers with the ability to amplify full-length cDNAs from the smallest RNAs to those longer than 10 kb, with input levels down to 0.1 pg setting a new standard for long-range PCR performance.

“We developed UltraMarathonRT® to address a key challenge faced by researchers working with complex RNA samples,” said Li-Tao Guo, Co-Founder and VP of R&D at RNAConnect. “The intrinsic helicase activity of uMRT allows it to unwind secondary and tertiary RNA structures naturally, without the need for additional heat steps. This results in faithful and accurate cDNA synthesis, especially when dealing with large or complex RNA molecules that are otherwise challenging for conventional reverse transcriptases. Importantly this new kit reduces the total experimental time, for example you can complete RT-PCR on a 10 kb template in 80 minutes where it used to take nearly 3-5 hours with other kits.”

Key features of the UltraMarathonRT® Two-Step RT-PCR Kit include:

Ultra-Processive Reverse Transcriptase: Featuring intrinsic helicase activity that allows the enzyme to unwind complex RNA structures without additional heating.High Sensitivity and Precision: Requires only 0.1 pg of RNA input for amplifying RNAs greater than 10 kb, allowing for highly sensitive detection.High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase: Capable of generating and amplifying long cDNA sequences up to 30 kb in length.Comprehensive Reagent Set: Includes all essential reagents such as UltraMarathonRT enzyme, 2x RT reaction buffer, High Boost enhancer, nuclease-free water, dNTP mix, PCR Master Mix, random primers, and oligo(dT)18 primer.

RNAConnect is set to showcase the UltraMarathonRT® Two-Step RT-PCR Kit at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) in Denver, CO from November 6-8. The ASHG meeting brings together thought leaders, scientists, and innovators in the field of genetics, making it an ideal venue for RNAConnect to introduce this cutting-edge product. Attendees of the ASHG conference will have the opportunity to interact with RNAConnect experts, explore data sets related to their research needs, and learn more about the unique capabilities of the UltraMarathonRT® kit.

“We are thrilled to unveil the UltraMarathonRT® kit at ASHG 2024,” said Ryan Muldoon, CEO of RNA Connect. “This event is the perfect platform to connect with researchers who can benefit from our new product’s ability to overcome the challenges of long and complex RNA amplification with unparalleled sensitivity and fidelity.”

The UltraMarathonRT® Two-Step RT-PCR Kit is now available for purchase in three different sizes (20, 50, and 250 reactions) to accommodate various research needs. For ordering details, visit http://www.rnaconnect.com/products/umrt-rt-pcr-kit or contact sales@rnaconnect.com.
