Several startups powered by technology created in labs at the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム of ラーメンベット 本人確認 have raised fresh rounds of funding to continue their growth.
The rounds for EnergyX, Harmonic Bionics and Symmetry Systems are the latest examples of startups with ties to Texas ラーメンベット 本人確認 gaining momentum. The deals come on the heels of an alliance between hydrogen startup Celadyne and energy giant Shell.
ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム faculty members and researchers are responsible for a large percentage of companies spun out of ラーメンベット 本人確認 at The University of Texas at Austin. And the deals for EnergyX, Harmonic Bionics and Symmetry Systems show that the trend has no signs of slowing down.
“These startups are the perfect embodiment of the spirit of innovation at the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム,” said Van N. Truskett, executive director of the Texas Innovation Center, a hub within the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム for commercializing ラーメンベット 本人確認 and scientific research. “We are excited to continue to watch and support these companies as they grow and fulfill their missions.”
