Inside the Innovation Huddle | September 2023

Our team has an ongoing internal huddle throughout the year: a team meeting where we share the most disruptive and exciting startups and emerging technologies from around the world. The only rule is that they can’t solve a current client challenge directly. This way, we retain our superpower of spotting creative adjacencies and disruptive outer-horizon solutions.

Below, we share a selection of those startups and technologies with you.

• Xoca (pronounced show-ka) is a first-of-its-kind all natural 🍃  prebiotic soda 🥤 crafted from upcycled cacao fruit. Xoca sodas benefit the planet 🌍 and provide support for a healthy🤰🏼gut and strong immune system.
• Population is the AI store manager 🧑🏽‍💼 for high performing foodservice 🥘 brands streamlining day-to-day operations, creating a competitive 🥇 advantage through team & guest health and  ⛑️ safety, and improving the bottom line of your establishment. 
• Unima develops fast and low cost 👨‍⚕️ diagnostic and disease surveillance 🕵️‍♀️ technologies to solve the problem of lack of 🔒 access to a timely diagnostic for 3 billion people living in the developing 🌍 world or in low resource settings in high 💵 income countries.
