Affordable growth media for cultivated meat

Multus Media wrote: At multus media we create the key ingredient to make cultivated meat affordable and profitable. Cultivated meat is a new way of producing real meat without the animal by only growing the muscle and fat tissues that directly make up the final meat product. Producing meat this way releases up to 87% fewer greenhouse gases than conventional meat, uses just a fraction of the land and water, and requires zero antibiotics. A critical challenge in the cultivated meat industry is cost of production. Growth media, which traditionally uses animal blood serum, accounts for more than 80% of production costs. We create animal-free serum replacements that promote cell growth without expensive nutrients... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

AI-based platform for smart driving

Greater Than’s platform can reduce fuel consumption and increase driver awareness through driving data analysis. Customers insert an on-board diagnostic module into the USB port of their car. This is synced to the driver’s smart phone and information is fed to the cloud. Based on how the driver performs, the innovation, called Enerfy Driving, gives low-risk or high-risk scores. Low-risk drivers are those that drive generating the least amount of environmental impact. The technology processes large amounts of driving data, algorithms performing risk assessment are built on machine learning and generate data in real time.

AI-based system for building energy management

BEAD is an AI-based system that analyzes, optimizes and operates a building’s energy management and related marketing strategies and operations by measuring real-time occupancy data. BEAD sensors analyze human behaviors and occupancy changes inside the building. Occupancy cycles, movements, and density change information can be collected with the use of BEAD software. With human behavior contributing to energy waste by 20-40%, the goal of the innovation is to analyze and develop fully autonomous/self-operating buildings to save energy, cut utility bills, optimize marketing strategies and reduce emissions.
