Intellistream 公司
Intellistream developed a platform for deploying interactive mobile video applications. This platform, Unistream™, was initially developed to operate over the video calling feature built into all 3G handsets, but was expanded to cover IP-based smart-phone handsets (such as those which can use both 2.5G or 3G networks) via a downloaded client. The Company initially targeted the security and safety market offering remote access to CCTV cameras from mobile phones. Possible applications included the corporate security markets, both SME businesses and also as an adjunct to existing large corporate and public security installations, and the domestic security markets. Additionally the Company's technology could be applied to a number of other applications including participation TV and gaming. The London Technology Fund led a funding round of £355k in November 2006. In April 2008 LTF announced the first close of a further funding round of up to £1m and this was followed by the appointment of a new chairman. In early 2010 the company reached a royalty agreement and completed the associated disposal of its assets.

Novacem 公司
Novacem, a spin-out from Imperial College London, is developing a cement which has the potential to transform the cement industry from being a significant emitter of CO2 to being an absorber of CO2. The annual production of over 2.9 billion tonnes of conventional Portland cement is already responsible for 5% of global CO2 emissions, and cement volumes are expected to double by 2050. In contrast to Portland cement, during the manufacture of Novacem cement more CO2 is absorbed than emitted. Novacem estimates that for every tonne of ordinary Portland cement replaced by Novacem cement, around 0.75 tonne of CO2 could be captured and stored indefinitely in construction products. In August 2009, LTF announced it was joint lead in a syndicate which included Imperial Innovations Group plc and the Royal Society Enterprise Fund, together investing over £1m. In March 2010 Novacem was recognised as one of five New Energy Pioneers at the Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit; in April 2010 it was named as one of the top 10 Emerging Technology companies by MIT’s Technology Review; and in September 2010 it was named a 2011 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, chosen as one of 31 visionary technology start-ups from around the world who are poised to have a critical impact on the future of business, industry and society. In July 2010 Novacem announced that it had attracted Lafarge as the first subscriber to its "Green Cement Bond", an innovative commercial and financial approach for engagement with major cement manufacturers to accelerate the development of Novacem’s carbon negative cement.
Novacem公司是由伦敦帝国理工学院分离出来的一家公司。该公司正在开发一种新水泥，而且可能因此将水泥工业从二氧化碳排放大户转变为二氧化碳的吸收行业。传统的普通水泥全球年产量达到25亿多吨，所带来的二氧化碳排放占全球总量的5%，并且水泥的产量预计到2050年还会翻倍。与普通水泥相反，在制造Novacem水泥的过程中，吸收的二氧化碳量大于排放量。Novacem公司估计，每使用1吨Novacem水泥取代等量的普通水泥，就能捕捉0.75吨二氧化碳并把这些二氧化碳永久储存在建筑产品中。2009年8月，伦敦技术基金宣布他们担任由帝国创新集团（Imperial Innovations Group plc）和皇家学会企业基金（Royal Society Entreprise Fund）参与的投资财团主导方，共同向Novacem投资100多万英镑。2010年3月，Novacem在彭博社新能源金融峰会上成为5家入选的新能源先驱公司中的一家。2010年4月，Novacem公司被麻省理工学院《科技创业》评选为全球十佳新兴技术公司；2010年9月被世界经济论坛命名为“2011年度技术先锋”，被选为全球31家具有前瞻性的起步公司之一，这些公司必将对未来的商业、工业和社会产生关键的影响。Novacem公司于2010年7月宣布，拉法基成为了第一家认购Novacem公司“绿色水泥债券”的公司。“绿色水泥债券”是一种创新的商业和财务做法，为的是让主要的水泥生产商参与进来，加速发展Novacem公司的负碳水泥。
