IVA’s 100 List - 2019-2024

Between 2019 and 2024, IVA’s 100 List was published annually to shine a spotlight on cutting‑edge research with the potential to create real value — whether through commercialisation, new business and methods, or positive societal impact. In 2026, an enhanced and updated version of the list will be launched.

Microsperes for more efficient skincreams

Most skincare products fail to work as promised; only 1-5% of active ingredients penetrate the skin’s outer layer. This limits complex treatments like gene therapies or mRNA-based treatments for conditions such as eczema or skin aging, resulting in ineffective results and high costs.

AI connected to sustainable energy systems

Safe AI for enhanced sustainable energy systems

Clean energy transition is urgent, but today’s electrical grid cannot handle the high volatility of distributed energy resources, such as renewables (e.g., solar generation and wind power), electric vehicles and new loads (e.g., hydrogen, heat pump), leading to significant stability challenges.

Integration of atomically thin materials for future electronics

Microelectronics have transformed the lives of every person on the planet, since their invention in the 1950s. By the magic of miniaturization, every new generation of electronic chips dramatically outperformed its predecessor, bringing us inventions such as the Internet and AI.

Enabling same-shift antibiotic treatment for sepsis

Sepsis causes 20% of all deaths globally, affecting 5 million people yearly in the EU and US. While a patient can go from symptoms to death in <1 day, finding the infection-causing pathogen can take up to 7 days. The current procedure, blood culturing, requires bacteria to grow up to a million times to reach detection limits.
