CiX Wins Second Place at the Science4Life Venture Cup 2025

Recognition for our innovative and sustainable water treatment technology

We are happy to announce that we have won second place at the Science4Life Venture Cup 2025!

The official award ceremony took place at the Reinhard Ernst Museum in Wiesbaden and brought together promising startup teams from across Germany in the fields of life sciences, chemistry, and energy.

We presented our business concept to a top-class jury of sponsors, industry experts, and members of the Science4Life network, and the award once again confirms that our technology attracts strong attention and recognition. It demonstrates that our solution is both technologically and socially relevant, and it further strengthens our determination to make a sustainable contribution to water purification.


Explaining our technology simply

Finally, clean water — free from invisible pollutants. We develop connectable and modular water treatment systems that remove contaminants directly at the point of use, efficiently and reliably. Our technology is based on our research on new diamond electrode systems.

Our solution enables the effective and cost-efficient removal of, among others:

  • pharmaceutical residues
  • bacteria
  • persistent environmental toxins such as PFAS

all without the use of chemicals. This allows us to provide a sustainable, scalable, and practical solution for industry and a wide range of other applications.

Intensive preparation at the Science4Life Academy Days

Before the final awards, we participated in the so-called Science4Life Academy Days. Days in which we further refined our business plan and market strategy, together with experts from science, industry, law, and finance.

For us, the Academy Days were the highlight of the competition: a welcoming, collaborative atmosphere in a historic setting, combined with intensive exchange with experts and fellow founding teams. Within a single weekend, we gained more practical, hands-on input than we could have developed on our own over several months.


A key milestone for CiX

We would like to thank Science4Life, the jury, and all supporters!

We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead in 2026. Presenting our business idea to a prestigious jury of sponsors, industry experts, and members of the Science4Life network once again demonstrated the strong interest and recognition of our technology. The award further motivates us to keep going and make a sustainable contribution to water treatment.
