                  •    Green Hydrogen Solutions: At Green Hydrogen Solutions we recognize the long-term
                       potential of green hydrogen. We combine big data, analysis and AI with innovative
                       technologies to develop lower-than-average cost projects that produce green hydrogen
                       at competitive prices linked to demand.
                  •    Sycai Technologies: Sycai Medical develops an assistant, which detects pre-cancerous
                       lesions when they are still benign. It helps radiologists to monitor the lesions by
                       characterizing them and comparing every image with previous images of the patient to
                       present the evolution. It analyzes CT scans and MRIs looking for incidental findings in zero
                       clicks, totally integrated in the workflow of radiologists without the need of any manual
                       trigger.
