Målet er at forbedre bevaringsindsatsen for truede arter af kakaduer. Europæiske zoos ledet af København Zoo etablerer sikkerheds-bestande i fangenskab, indtil årsagerne til fuglenes tilbagegang i naturen kan løses. I øjeblikket er ynglepopulationerne ikke bæredygtige, da kakaduer har tendens til dårligt forstået aggressiv adfærd overfor avlspartnere. Projektet sigter imod bedre at forstå årsagerne til partneraggression og mod udvikling af nye metoder til at afbøde eller forhindre problemet.

Clostridium difficile infektion (CDI) er en alvorlig tarminfektion og et voksende problem for global sundhed. C. difficile bakterier udtrykker toksiner, der er en forudsætning for infektion. CD Balance er et kosttilskud, der kan nedsætte risikoen for CDI. Det består af bindingsproteiner, der inaktiverer et C. difficile toksin (TcdB). Dette projekt undersøger hvordan et forbedret CD Balance produkt skal sammensættes, hvis det skal målrette to toksiner (TcdA og TcdB).

Perplant offers a reduction technology for chemicals in agriculture. It concist of a camera-based monitor solution that can be mounted on the tractor's roof to help farmers 1) precisely detect plant health, 2) generate prescription rates with AI on the edge and 3) support execution of spraying in real-time. This allows farmers to apply chemicals only where & how much precisely needed, which can lead to up to 70% reduced amount of chemicals, increase harvest yield with up to 10%. The potential market includes around 10.000 farmers in Denmark and 80 mio. farms globally that are looking into convenient, precise and cost-effective ways of chainging their farming practices into more regenerative & sustainable practices. The solution will help our society comply with SDG 2 ,3, 12, 13 and 15, by saving up to 294tons of CO2 equivalent per farm per season, produce more food to prevent hunger, reduce impact on biodiversity losses & human health, and promote more responsible consumption and production. The investment will allow us to build a a fully commercial product that can support real-time target rate communication with the tractor/sprayer, perception in low-light conditions and outdoor robustness to become ready for product launch in Q3 2023. By offering a vision capability Perplant will be an essential infrastructure enabler for the future of autonomous vehicles in agriculture including drones, robots and smart sensors that will increasingly support sustainable farming.

ReefCircular is developing an environmentally friendly bioconcrete made from waste seashells and natural marine binders. Unlike regular bioconcrete, our bioconcrete doesn’t require extreme temperatures, therefore, it has significantly lower CO2 emissions. Since we use waste seashells from the fishing industry, that would otherwise be discarded, we are contributing to a circular economy. The bioconcrete will be 3D printed into artificial reefs to help restore marine ecosystems that have been damaged by human activity. This will increase marine biodiversity and the benefits healthy marine ecosystems produce, e.g., increased coastal protection, increased fisheries yields and improved water quality. We anticipate our primary customers will be NGOs, governments, and private organizations, e.g., offshore wind farm companies, which comprise a multi-billion-dollar market in terms of marine restoration. We will provide our customers will data showing how our reefs positively benefit marine biodiversity, which can be used in ESG reporting and marketing. Innofounder’s investment will allow both co-founders to work full-time on ReefCircular and dedicate all our efforts to growing ReefCircular into a commercially viable business. We aim to set up a production facility initially in Denmark and then expand to have production facilities globally.
