Recent work at the University of Coventry has led to the discovery of a new supercapacitive material capable of storing 10 times more electrical energy than competing materials. Consequently, the patent-protected Cam-Cap supercapacitor is able to combine the large energy storage capacity of batteries with the rapid power delivery capabilities of capacitors to meet new customer needs that cannot be satisfied using other existing energy storage materials. The advantages of the Cam-Cap supercapacitors are particularly apparent in the rapidly expanding high performance energy storage markets associated with environmentally friendly alternatives in the transport and power generation industries.

Cambfix is a business prospect that provides innovative, high quality medical devices for use in orthopaedic and trauma surgery.

DVDNOW will enter the US$10bn DVD rental market. This is a mature market, recently revolutionised by www.netflix.com (US$600m revenue) and copycat businesses based on web subscriptions for mail-delivery DVDs. DVDNOW has identified a significant weakness in the Netflix et al. business model, which can be exploited at relatively low cost, using existing technologies coupled in a novel way. This allows a substantial expansion on the Netflix model market size, while further eroding the core of the bricks-and-mortar DVD rental market. In a global market where clone companies are competing simply on cost, DVDNOW confers a considerable competitive advantage.
