We proudly present … SALGI from Batch#10 in the SCE Accelerator Program: SALGI provides a sustainable water desalination with algae. The idea: Although more than 70% of our earth's surface is covered by water, the lack of clean drinking water is already one of the most pressing resource conflicts worldwide. In fact, only 2.5% of all water is available as usable fresh water and this is mostly in economically strong regions that are climatically favorable. Our goal is to counteract this water shortage, but not through the use of energy-intensive and environmentally harmful processes. Instead, we rely on proven biological processes that have developed over millions of years. We cultivate algae in salt water, which, due to its natural properties, continuously absorb salt and thus convert salt water into clean fresh water. The founders: The founders are Uxía García Vázquez and Thomas Kinkeldei. We at Hochschule München and Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship gGmbH are looking forward to our joint journey with SALGI! #startups #accelerator #straschegcenter #scemunich #hochschulemünchen

Entering the market takes commitment and dedication. Projini's first-ever AI-generated herbicide is getting us closer to solving the acute issue of herbicide-resistant weeds. These weeds are causing crop loss worth billions of dollars, especially for soy and corn growers in the US. And so, we are thrilled to share that Projini has been selected for the START AgriTech Scale Up Program, which opens up opportunities for collaboration and meaningful connections. Business and agriculture leaders, AI and Agtech investors, join us in St. George, Utah this April for one-on-one meetings. Let's explore opportunities for collaboration and establish meaningful connections. Interested in getting involved? Reach out here: https://lnkd.in/eXDSRWYF.
