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.
- AlterEgo transcribes 📃 words that the user 🧠 verbalizes internally but does not actually 👄 speak aloud.
- Neurable’s revolutionary 🧠 brain-computer 💻 interface allows people to control software and 📱 devices using only their brain activity. One of their features is the world’s first mind-controlled VR 🥽 game.
- Geltor is a bio-design 🧬 company powering the products of the future with effective, sustainable 🍃, animal-free proteins. Geltor has created the largest selection of designer 🍎 proteins crafted with unparalleled biocompatibility 🧪 and functionality.
- CleanFiber™ makes high-performance cellulose 🧱 insulation from recycled ♻️ corrugated cardboard boxes 📦 and other clean sources of high-quality 🌾 fiber.
- Oishii grows the best fruit 🍓 in the world by deploying ground-breaking vertical 🌾 farming technology that pushes the boundaries of 🌿 agriculture. They’re the first in the 🌎 world to grow fruit in an indoor 🏡 vertical farm at a commercial scale.
