This year, three companies in the TechNexus Venture Collaborative ecosystem — representing the power of strategic partnerships and groundbreaking startup growth — have earned a coveted spot on the TIME Best Inventions of 2025 list . These technologies are poised to fundamentally reinvent industries from travel to healthcare, all while demonstrating the transformative impact of connected innovation. The Power of Partnership: THOR & Harbinger Pioneer EV Travel The collaborative success between TechNexus corporate partner THOR Industries and portfolio startup Harbinger is again making headlines. Fresh off their Fast Company 2025 World Changing Ideas Award, this TechNexus-facilitated partnership has been recognized by TIME for creating the revolutionary Embark, the first-of-its-kind range-extended electric Class A motorhome. As an addition to THOR’s Entegra Coach brand, the hybrid Embark delivers a 105-mile extended range. This innovation is a pivotal moment for the RV industry, a sector traditionally defined by significant gas consumption, proving that a seamless transition to sustainable, premium travel is possible when industry titans and agile startups collaborate effectively. Lightship Electrifies the Trailer Experience Lightship (pictured), a TechNexus portfolio company, received a special mention in TIME’s Best Inventions list for its all-electric RV trailer, the AE.1 Atmos. This aero-electric travel trailer is a masterclass in efficiency, drawing its power from a dedicated battery and integrated solar panels. By combining premium comfort with top-tier technology, Lightship’s AE.1 Atmos is making climate-friendly, off-grid travel a more comfortable and accessible reality for a new generation of adventurers.
