    Transdermal Diagnostics

    Transdermal Diagnostics is pioneering the development of bio-wearables that enhance the prevention, diagnosis and management of chronic conditions like diabetes. Its unique sensing technology aims to create the world’s first needle-free continuous monitor for glucose and other health biomarkers. By analysing hair follicles, the adhesive skin patch and transmitter wirelessly communicate information straight to a smartphone app, facilitating a transformative shift in patient care and quality of life for those with diabetes.

    FINE

    Fine Agrochemicals is enhancing crop quality for fruit and flower growers in agricultural, ornamental and landscape markets using its plant growth regulator (PGR) technology. Its PGR products, made using naturally occurring molecules through fermentation and combined with chemically synthesised compounds, help stimulate plant cells to enhance nutrient levels and targeted growth for improved crop outputs.

    Herd Climate CIC

    Herd Climate is a not-for-profit addressing the pressing agricultural challenge of enteric methane emissions produced by farming animals. It works directly with farmers, researchers and young people to bridge the gap between climate-smart scientific advancements and on-the-ground practices through innovative research, accessible science communication and engaging networking events.
