Latest News from Origin
Spectral Edge – successful exit
We have had a good trade sale exit from our investment in Spectral Edge, which develops sophisticated “image fusion” technology, potentially of value in mobile phone camera systems but also in other areas, such as broadcast media and imaging for defence applications. We are not able to comment on details of the transaction, but we have noted market speculation that the business was bought by Apple – see here.
Inductosense – New unquoted investment
We have recently invested in Inductosense, a Bristol-based company supplying novel Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technology to the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical industries, amongst others. Inductosense’s approach uses inductive coupling to enable sensors attached to pipework to be powered and interrogated wirelessly to measure pipe thickness and corrosion. We believe the potential market size for Inductosense’s solutions is substantial.
New IoT sensor investment: Cyclops Marine
Origin has invested in Cyclops Marine, a developer of innovative devices for wireless monitoring of forces on masts and rigging and in other load-bearing locations of sailing vessels. We believe Cyclops has a leading technical and market position in this specialist market.
