A Ukrainian company has developed technology and equipment allowing to reduce the time of plant growth by 36% and to increase the yield by 20%. The heart of the system is the rotary drum that manipulates the effect of gravity on the crops to stimulate the release of the plants’ natural growth hormone. The system is fully automated and consumes less power. The company is looking for commercial agreement with technical assistance or joint venture agreement.

A UK start-up has launched software that optimises the scheduling of field-based services (home care, cleaning, security, facility management, staff agencies, field engineers). The automated scheduling results in significant waste reduction. The company seeks to license the software to integrators offering broader mobile workforce solutions.
