You can find pics of the event on Facebook and Flickr (different sets).
These are the companies that launched yesterday.
Fiabee is a spanish company that presented an online backup solution that focuses on security and ease of use.

Kohive is an online collaboration tool with a desktop-like interface. It has many applications and is going the freemium way (plus iphone app). The interesting part is they are building a platform for other developers, and thus have an app store.
Kyubid was a fun presentation. They are developing a new dating site based on bidding (but not with real money, put it away).

2nd: Mixcloud’s vision is to be the YouTube of radio with on-demand radio shows spanning music and talk and truing to make it make it more social, personalised and ‘democratic’.
