Ocular Systems and RecoVolt both of which are rooted in years of academic research have been launched with new leadership teams to help support their commercial growth. Both firms have the potential to deliver significant industrial and environmental benefits, and have been set in motion with support from North East law firm Ward Hadaway.

Ocular Systems has developed a patented 3D particle measurement system that enables real-time, three-dimensional imaging of particles in motion. The company says its tech opens up "transformative" opportunities across industries including pharmaceuticals and advanced batteries, where understanding particle morphology and its impact on manufacturing processes is critical in developing sustainable products.
