- Agreed Earth
East of England | Agriculture | @AgreedEarth
Agreed Earth is the decision support tool for synthetic nitrogen fertiliser (N) reliance reduction. N’s environmental impact is huge - it takes 2% of the world’s energy to create from fossil fuels, it releases Nitrous Oxide (N2O) - 300x more potent than CO2 - when applied to soil, and it is a major source of air and water pollution. Yet currently most conventional farming systems rely on its use for yield. Agreed Earth's satellite data models will help farmers: measure and monitor the carbon footprint and pollution coming from their N use; maximise the efficiency of the N they do use; make regenerative practice decisions that will reduce the need for N whilst maintaining or maximising yield; and quantify or verify reductions in N use remotely and cheaply to enable rewards via avoided emissions carbon credits. By doing this, Agreed Earth helps farmers lower their carbon footprint and increase profitability whilst accelerating their soil carbon sequestration by rehabilitating its natural fertility.
- AgriSound
Yorkshire | Agriculture | @AgriSoundTech
AgriSound is an agritech company that harnesses low-cost IoT sensors to monitor insect activity and biodiversity within a local environment.

During the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak, Zimbabwe-born founder and CEO Atherton Mutombwera was shocked to learn how many deaths could have been prevented through wider availability of diagnostics, and that across the African continent there were only 14 centralised laboratories that could diagnose Ebola, the lack of which contributed to the 70% fatality rate.

- Small Robot Company
Salisbury | Agriculture | @smallrobotco
Small Robot Company’s mission is to help farmers feed the world while regenerating the planet. Using robotics and artificial intelligence, Small Robot Company has created an entirely new model for sustainable, efficient and profitable farming, which it calls Per Plant Farming. SRC’s sustainable farmbots Tom, Dick and Harry, along with AI brain Wilma, will plant, monitor and treat arable crops autonomously. This increases yields, soil quality and biodiversity, and reduces carbon emissions. This will decrease variable costs for farmers: 20% saving on seed usage, and up to 90% saving on chemicals. It also has the potential for yield increases of 30% - 40% globally. Finally, it will reduce cultivation energy in arable farming by up to 90%. The Net Zero potential here is huge: net capture and storage of between 1.42 and 5 tonnes CO2/ha per year is possible with regenerative farming, rising to up to 9 tonnes with Small Robot Company’s system. Founded 5 years ago, SRC employs 51 people, and is now rolling out its commercial offering to 50 farms.
- Solivus
South East | Energy & Electricity | @solivus
There are 2.5 billion metres squared of south-facing roofs in the UK alone. If half of these had solar, it would be enough to provide half the UK's electricity needs without the need to develop on greenfield sites. Solivus is an energy company decarbonising the planet starting with lightweight solar. Solivus wants to enable businesses, and - from next year - homeowners, to transition to cheaper, cleaner onsite energy generation for independent supply and control. In recent years, solar has progressed from a niche technology. Yet, we don’t see it on top of big stadiums, industrial estates or shopping centres. Many large buildings simply cannot take the weight of conventional solar and many homeowners do not like the look of solar on their roofs. The built environment contributes to 40% of global emissions. A new type of solar that is far lighter than conventional solar can turn low-load-bearing rooftops into high-energy generating assets.
