Tebrio — At the rate that the world is growing, we’ll only have enough food to feed 50% of our future population by 2050 and introducing novel proteins into the food value chain that are rich in amino acids and use less water and arable land is the only solution forward for mankind and the planet, which is why, in 2014, Adriana Casillas and Sabas de Diegofounded Tebrio, the world’s leading carbon-negative, zero-residue insect biotechnology company, which tackles climate change and the world food crisis by breeding and transforming rich amino acid mealworms into three main co-products: (i) sustainabe premium fish, pet and animal feed (ii) biofertilizer for plant nutrition that acts as a natural pest repellent (iii) chitosan to manufacture biodegradable plastic that disolves in water. Our carbon negative pilot farm produces 500 tons of co-products a year, does not emit greenhouse gases like ammonia or methane, uses 98% less water and 90% less arable land than other animal and plant protein farms, and is the only company in our industry in Spain that has received an ISO9001 certification, which guarantees the quality of our products. Thanks to our current operations, we have secured an undisclosed Series A round, which we are using to develop a EUR 50 million insect farm that will take us from a 500 tn to a 100.000 tns production of co-products a year and will be the largest of its kind in the world. Company Key Metrics: • Tebrio has 8 industrial patents in 150 countries • Tebrio’s operations are carbon negative, zero residue, and we do not emit greenhouse gases like ammonia or methane • With the same amount of natural resources, we are able to produce 500% more protein for fishmeal and animal feed than plant protein and livestock farms • Our protein for fish and animal feed is 90% digestible, 70% protein, high in essential amino acids and unsaturated fat • Tebrio was the first certified producer in the world of mealworm protein for fish and animal feed and biofertilizer for plant nutrition • Our tech powered biofertilizer has 10x more nutrients than other organic fertilizers and thanks to its properties, acts as a natural pest repellent • We are the only Spanish company in our industry with an ISO9001 certification • We are building the world’s largest insect farm, which will produce 100.000 tons of co-products a year for animal feed and plant fertilization • We use big data and 4.0 industries to industrially produce and control the Tenebrio Molitor insect

Current technology for diagnostics is veryprecise and can detect almost any disease known, but the problem is these require labs with expensive equipment and specialized technicians making lab testing impossible to scale up to provide universal and timely access to diagnostics.To solve this problem Unima developed Find, a rapid testing technology platform for real time diagnostics which allows anyone to diagnose a disease directly where it is needed, without using lab equipment, with results in 15 minutes or less and at a very low cost. With Find anyone can have access to a timely diagnostic even in the most remote areas of the world.The Find platform uses shark antibodies modified with genetic engineering to detect disease biomarkers in blood, saliva, urine or water samples. These shark antibodies are used in microfluidic cards and generate a visual reactions when in contact with specific biomarkers of the disease to be tested. Then to evaluate the result of the test, a picture of the testing card is taken with the proprietary Xplora smartphone app which runs image analysis process and neural network algorithms to generate an inmediate result. Then this result,along with contextual information like geolocation, date and time, is sent to a cloud server where it can be used for real time disease tracking.
