3IPK
3IPK develops blockchain-based software products and solutions which allow to guarantee authenticity, integrity and traceability of digital data, especially for space, aviation and defence industries. For example, 3IPK's solution is currently deployed onboard of the International Space Station (ISS) to test our product Panoptes which allows to prevent deep faking of satellite imagery. Moreover, our solutions allow to ensure integrity of critical data within aerospace supply chains for certification of aircraft as well as prevention of manipulation of on-board software including AI models.


Agrometa LLC
We started Agrometa in 2022, and since then, we’ve been providing drone fertilizing services to Georgian farmers. After working with hundreds of farmers and engaging in close conversations, we identified a critical need: farmers often lack visibility into the health of their crops, especially across large fields. As a result, they struggle to detect issues and take timely action. Without awareness of problem areas, they may apply incorrect agricultural measures, potentially causing further damage.
Our solution is SMART FARMER - an AI powered software, that analyzes drone-generated data to deliver detailed crop health insights and actionable recommendations. It helps farmers:
• Optimize crop management
• Reduce pesticide usage
• Boost overall productivity




Invendor
Invendor is building the first software-first industrial vending solution designed specifically for modern industrial wholesalers. Our solution enables wholesalers to sell goods directly at customer sites — fully unmanned — while automating the entire supply chain process.
We’ve invested approximately €2.5 million into product development and are now ready to scale, offering our solution to large wholesalers globally.
With our next funding round, we plan to invest in building a high-performing sales and marketing engine to establish Invendor as one of the top three industrial vending solutions in Europe within the next three years.

Polliknow
Over 50% of global GDP ($44 trillion annually) depends on nature and biodiversity, yet both face a crisis with a staggering 69% decline in species since 1970. This alarming loss has spurred regulations such as CSRD, BNG, and TNFD requiring companies to assess and report their nature impact.
Technological innovation in monitoring insect pollinators has historically focused on commercial honeybees using hive-mounted sensors, with no scalable solutions for tracking diverse pollinator species. This gap is critical: insect pollinators are essential to 75% of crops, yet 40% face extinction underscoring the need for affordable monitoring systems.
Polliknow uses cutting edge computer vision to collect on-the-ground verifiable biodiversity data through insect pollinators. Polliknow collect 20x more data over traditional manual methods, cutting costs by 63% and labour by 70%, automating the gathering of verifiable biodiversity .
