Knowledge Pixels April 2026 Updates

[Tobias Kuhn]

Hi all,

It's time for our April updates:

- We attended the Founders Day 2026 of the Swiss Startup Association,
and it was great to connect to other startups, investors, and other
actors of the startup world. Knowledge Pixels sparked interest at many
places. https://swissstartupassociation.ch/founders-day-2026/

- We are really happy to announce that our proposal Nanoarguments has
been accepted as NLnet project. We are looking forward to working on
this, and will share more details shortly.

- We successfully completed our first incubator project, "FAIR
Vocabularies for Chemical Risk Assessment." Working closely with Gertjan
Bisschop, we explored how nanopublications can support community-driven
vocabularies for chemical risk assessment, and expanded our platform
with new features for consuming and publishing ontologies and
vocabularies along the way. https://knowledgepixels.com/incubator.html

- We released nanopub-elements: a Web Components library to display
query results and individual nanopublications easily on any webpage.

- We are extending our incubator #4 "FAIRification of mass spectrometry
workflows using FDOs" by three more months to have more time to work on
its promising developments.

- And we are very happy and proud to announce that we are among the five
finalists of the Startup Pitch competition of the Knowledge Graph
Conference (KGC) 2026: https://www.knowledgegraph.tech/startup-pitch/

And a late-breaking update: we just got notification that we ended up in
3rd place at the KGC Startup Pitch competition, out of nearly 100
submissions!

Stay tuned for more updates from KGC and beyond!

Tobias
