Our Solutions

Food Security

The global food security challenge is straightforward: by 2050, the World must feed 9 billion people. The demand for food will be 60% greater than it is today. The UN is promoting sustainable agriculture as the second of its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the year 2030. We will present new sustainable investments into agriculture-technology businesses to address the global food challenge.

Sustainable Energy Sources

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA, 2023), energy security is the uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price. Renewable or "green" energy, include wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass. Hydrogen produced by electrolysis will be the the least polluting and carbon-free energy source. We will present new energy conversion and storage components such as fuel cells, electrolysers, and water treatment technologies.

Healthcare & AI

Mental health, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes, Infectious diseases, failing health systems, and an ageing population are examples of challenges known to pose a vast burden worldwide. We will present novel therapeutic approaches to depression, natural products that stabilised blood sugar for diabetics, and the use of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of diseases from MRI scans to blood biomarkers.
