This can save businesses, globally, millions of pounds from bad hiring decisions, and bridge the acquisition to retention gap, via the incorporation of neuroscience, data, natural language progressing and space assets.
SIITAg
Status date: 22 November 2021
Sub-optimal fertilization decisions are causing yield losses, environmental damage, contributing to climate change, and making agriculture unsustainable in the long run. Our farmers and crop advisors need smart technology to be able to make better and faster fertilization decisions. Agricultural fertilization decision making process is complex. Existing technologies are either too expensive or too much time intensive. As a result, majority of the farmers rely on their experience for fertilization decision, which is not data-driven thus involves lots of guess work. Spacenus wants to change that.
SIITAg
Status date: 17 September 2018
Agriculture is the most important core industry in the world. With feeding 9.5 billion people globally by 2050, it faces a tremendous challenge. Food production must increase by 75%. To that end, Spacenus develops sustainable operational services which addresses agricultural plant nutrient deficiency (PND) with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system connected with earth observation, navigation and IoT.
Mining air data for healthier, smarter decisions
Status date: 31 October 2021
Air quality and pollen allergies impact our health and quality of life. We are developing analytical services to mitigate the impact of air pollution and pollen on people’s health.

Human Switch
Status date: 10 September 2020
Automotive electrification will change the way energy is produced and consumed across
the globe due to the resulting increase in local capacity of mobile battery storage.
The Human Switch enablesincreased update and utilisation of EV technologyalong with improved load balancing to support increased utilisation of renewables, helping to improve air pollution and CO2 issues.
The transition from fossil fuel to Electric Vehicles (EVs) will have a seismic impact in the utility, automotive and oil and gas markets as petroleum supply and infrastructure is replaced with power supply and storage.
Recent research has modelled the scale of these potentialrevenues, combining both the need for storage and V2G capabilities, where many EV owners can be aggregated into one, and their energy loads traded on the power exchanges.
Human Switch will offer twoservices; Human Switch Transitionand Live Service:
Human Switch Transition Service (Switch)–Switch helps consumers and fleet managers to make the right decisions about going electric, based on their actual driving behaviour and needs. We know that range anxiety, cost savings, carbon footprint and operational compromise are common concerns, Switch uses real world data to take the guessing out of transitioning.
Human Switch Live Service - The service allows EV owners to participate in lucrative V2G market mechanisms whilst preserving the minimum level of transport utility from their vehicle. Live helps customers make and save money through vehicle charging, by embedding EV's into the energy system.
