Israeli entrepreneurs Doron Marco and Ayelet Carasso of White Innovation Company took it on themselves to make Star Trek’s food replicator a reality. Dubbed The Genie, the invention is a cross between a Keurig coffee maker and a microwave oven. Basically, it makes meals from pods filled with dehydrated ingredients.

Last year, over forty teams were turned away at the Royal because the event ran out of space. Visit here for more info.
