- Outfield — Outfield is revolutionising the global fruit sector.Outfield is a precision orchard management system that provides growers with fruit counts and year round variability maps. By providing key insights on orchard performance, we help growers become more efficient, more profitable, and more environmentally friendly. Yield estimates are crucialfor all aspects of fruit growing, from maximising orchard production to agreeing sales contracts. Growers estimate yields manually based on around 0.5% of their trees. The unreliable and limited data they collect leads to 20% average errors in estimated yield per orchard. This reduces output, efficiency and profit while increasing environmental damage.Outfield growers have less than 10% error in their yield estimates. Our growers use inexpensive off-the-shelf drones, loaded with flight plans from Outfield. At the touch of a button, they make a 30-minute automated drone flight covering thousands of trees. The images are sent to Outfield’s cloud based platform and processed using bespoke image recognition algorithms. Maps and insights are returned to growers within 24hrs. This strategy allows Outfield to deploy a scalable SAAS model.Our fruit-level data platform has been developed and trialled with apple and pear growers on 3 continents, and our MVP is being used right now by paying beta-test growers in the UK, New Zealand, and South Africa. Growers have praised the unparalleled flexibility, speed and ease of drone data acquisition.We are now looking for investment to drive our growth and to scale our product to meet the growing demand. Our team is ready to build and expand international presence, to broaden our service offering with new product features, and to move into new market segments in other fruit crops. We are entering the 4th agricultural revolution and Outfield is perfectly positioned at the convergence of machine learning, cloud computing, agritech and drone technologies. Join Outfield in reducing fruit waste, unlocking orchards value, and driving the future of fruit farming.

So when we look at conventional problems, we find unconventional solutions.Built around our liquid-cooling approach and shaped by an extensive portfolio of patents, we’ve proven what our technology can do for HPC and data centre applications - dramatically reducingenergy consumption, space and noise. But it’s just the start. We’re going to keep innovating, working toward a day when wasteful, inefficient air-cooling is a thing of the past. We have created a business to look forward, but we’re also proud of the heritage that British engineering is built on. Iceotope is delighted to own the Made in Sheffield mark to show our dedication to the area’s tradition of engineering excellence. With decades of technical, design and engineering experience, we’ve established Iceotope as a trusted partner at the forefront of liquid-cooling technology.

- QV Bioelectronics — Time is precious and for patients with the most common brain tumour, glioblastoma, the value of that time really comes into focus when they are suddenly hit with the news there is no cure and that they have just one year to live. Current treatment options are not good enough and come at a huge cost to the quality of that remaining time. Ourco-founder Dr Richard Fu recognised this and was frustrated not only by the lack of treatments available for his brain tumour patients but also by major design flaws in newer electrotherapy approaches. Working together with Dr Chris Bullock, a biomedical engineer arising from Manchester's world-class materials research centres, they formed an elegant solution designed to optimise patient life-expectancy and quality of life. Together they formed QV Bioelectronics, and since then, their ground-breaking research has received over $425k in financial awards from several UK institutions, including Innovate UK and the National Institute for Health Research in the UK. The technology core patent has been filed, with full FTO. Additionally, alongside Dr Fu's expertise, the clinical advisory board contains some of Britain's top neurosurgeons who are helping to input into the feedback of the technology design. Our aim is to double patient life expectancy compared to standard treatment without impacting quality of life, so patients can focus on what matters. Join us at QV Bioelectronics, in pioneering a better option for terminal cancer patients.
