A long exposure photograph captures a highway at dusk with streaks of light from vehicle headlights and taillights. On the right, a field is dotted with numerous wind turbines, some with blurred blades indicating motion. Power lines are visible in the distance on the left. The sky transitions from a deep blue at the top to warm oranges and yellows near the horizon, illuminated by the setting sun.

A group of four business professionals, two men and two women, stand in a modern, digitally enhanced environment. They are looking towards a bright, glowing point in a holographic projection that encompasses the room. The projection features a global network of interconnected lines, data points, charts, and world maps, suggesting themes of global communication, technology, and data analysis. The overall color scheme is cool blues and whites, indicating a futuristic and high-tech setting.

A visually dynamic abstract image combining elements of biology and chemistry. A prominent, translucent 3D double helix structure, representing DNA, twists vertically in the center. Surrounding it are interconnected hexagonal shapes and dots, forming a molecular or network-like pattern. The background is dark and blurred, with streaks of blue and white light, along with an orange glow near the bottom, creating a sense of depth and scientific wonder.

Avery Therapeutics Inc. - Jen Koevary

The University of Arizona - United States

An abstract, futuristic image depicting a dark, confined space with glowing blue-green geometric structures forming a tunnel or pathway, possibly a representation of a microfluidic channel or a data pathway. Bright red laser-like beams crisscross the space, illuminating small red orbs at their intersections. The background has a dark, dusty, or smoky texture with scattered light points resembling stars.

A human hand, possibly a doctor or scientist given the white coat in the blurred background, is reaching forward as if interacting with a holographic display. Overlaid on the image is a complex network of blue and white interconnected dots and lines, resembling molecular structures or a data network. Several circular, abstract graphic elements with dashed lines and gear-like patterns are also visible, suggesting technology and innovation.

baseclick GmbH - Thomas Frischmuth

BASF Venture Capital GmbH - Germany

A futuristic robotic hand, predominantly white with blue accents and visible internal mechanisms, is shown with its index finger pressing a large, circular black button that has a glowing blue ring around its perimeter. The background is a dark grey surface covered with a detailed white circuit board pattern, reinforcing the technological theme.
