TriNetX - is building a federated network for identifying patients out of electronic medical records and writing protocols more effectively.

Recursion pharmaceuticals - has identified numerous compounds in preclinical development on what seems to be a shoestring budget for a biotech company.

Probably that supersonic business jet that Boeing(?) is making. It's got some romance to it.

Waymo - self driving cars will really change the dynamics of where we live and work. Being able to climb into a private mobile office / mobile nap pod to commute to work will be huge.

arcimoto, I would describe it as soylent of transportation (though it's even more niche than soylent), it's basically an electric three wheeler that can do highway speeds. soylent optimized for meeting nutritional needs of an invidividual with bare minimum of fuss, three wheeled elecric "motorcycle" meets need to get somewhere (as cheaply as possible) with a sort of bare minimum of safety XD, while meeting a "nutritonal" value by being electric and a more natural form factor for majority of driving thats done.

Some biotech company who makes computer out of living biological neurons.

But so far they only show odor sensing technology. Not even demo of a neuron computer able to do MNIST image classification.
