Breweries – are you still burning your Spent Yeast? 🔥 Spent Yeast from breweries typically ends up being incinerated, sent to landfills, or used as low-quality animal feed – high cost options with limited impact. With Value Chain Generator®, we’ve identified several high-value solutions for Spent Yeast, transforming it into high-demand ingredients for the food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Why does this matter? Lower climate footprint, zero waste to landfill, and new revenue streams. Plus, local buyers who are ready to purchase. We’re already working with some of the largest breweries in Europe, converting 4,000 tons of residuals typically sent to biogas plants into additional revenue for breweries. Curious how your brewery can benefit too? Let’s connect and make it happen! 🍺 #circulareconomy #circularsolutions #climatetech #techforgood #waste #sustainability #AI #spentyeast

We can’t think of a better way to cap off this incredible month than by winning the CyberOne Hightech Award! 🚀 Yesterday, we were proud to take home the top prize in the Digital Tech category for the most innovative and sustainable business model in Baden-Württemberg at the Heilbronn Slush'D event.

Highlights from The Climate Beacon Conference 2024 in Boston! 🇺🇸 We spoke at two Adapting Better panels: Mateja shared how the VCG.ai platform is helping cities find circular business models. It’s clear that communities around the world face similar challenges in different context - our tool can be a game-changer in finding solutions tailored to each region. Jon discussed how we leverage tech and data to transform decision-making, driving more effective climate investments at scale. We were also incredibly inspired by Massachusetts leaders like Senator Edward Markey, Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, Mayor Michelle Wu, and Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. Their passion for climate action is contagious, and it was a pleasure to speak with many of you! 👏 And lastly, meeting so many climate tech leaders across New England – seeing different approaches, finding shared strategies, and learning from each other. This is the collaboration we need for tackling the big issues. Huge thank to Alex Richman and the entire organizing team for inviting us and having us be a part of something so exciting!

Part of our team is currently at SIAL Paris meeting with food industry innovators from around the world! 🥘 We love connecting with our partners in person whenever possible. So if you are here too, please send us a message and let's meet! #SialParis #SialTaste #Sial2024 #FutureOfFood #TechForGood #SustainableFood

The Climate Beacon 2024 Conference opening night ceremony got us more excited than ever to be back in Boston! 🇺🇸 Hosted by Alex Richman, the Climate Beacon Conference brings together key policy makers and industry leaders from the greater New England region who are ready to roll up their sleeves and get things done on climate action. 🌎 Later today, VCG.AI will take the stage to showcase how our platform can accelerate climate action by empowering decision-makers with the data and insights they need for implementing fast, impactful solutions. As technology continues to transform climate strategy, we are excited to contribute to the conversation on how AI can support and push things forward! 📍 If you're in Boston or attending the event and interested in climate tech, let’s have a chat! #climateaction #circulareconomy #techforgood #sustainability #circularsolutions #climatesolutions #AI #climatetech

Do you want to live in a CIRCULAR CITY? 🌱 Our team has developed an AI Circular Economy Assistant for Cities and Municipalities. 🤖 This platform helps municipal employees—from city mayors to public school teachers—collaborate through a guided, step-by-step process to transform their city into a circular one. ❇ Set the city's CIRCULAR MISSION & GOALS ❇ Inclusive EDUCATIONAL platform for all stakeholders ❇ MONITORING & MEASUREMENT of progress ❇ Plus additional AI ASSISTANT features All with the aim of providing cities the much-needed support to become leaders in measurable circular economy transformation! 🌍 If your city is actively working on a circular strategy, please reach out to us for more information on how we can help. #circularpsp #greencities #circularcities #circulareconomy #techforgood #aiforgood

VCG Team Strategy Days 2024 have just started with most of our international team members meeting in Ljubljana! 🎉 It's hard to describe the excitement in the room when our team comes together. We are taking this time to review what we have achieved so far, work on the growth strategy for 2025, and have fun together. Team, so glad to have you here, let's do this! 🙌 🚀 #team #startup #vcg #strategydays

Here’s why human-in-the loop is THE approach for AI value chain building in circular economy 👇 Human-in-the-loop is an approach to machine learning where AI-generated outputs are checked and corrected by human experts. This is especially valuable in specialised fields like the circular economy and big data processing tasks, ensuring accuracy where AI alone might fall short. By using this approach, we achieve 2 key objectives: 🎯 Enhanced accuracy: AI-generated outputs are validated with the expertise of our team, ensuring the value chains we create reflect both the vast processing power of AI and the deep understanding of our experts. 🔄 Continuous improvement: Each human correction contributes to a feedback loop that strengthens our AI engine, making each iteration smarter and more reliable. Over the years, we’ve successfully generated value chains for our clients with advanced AI models and and validated them with the circularity expertise of our team - leading to substantial improvements in both our AI capabilities and the results we deliver to our clients! The synergy between AI and human insight is driving impactful, actionable circular solutions. 🚀

Cities are overflowing with untapped data from the companies within their limits - how can they harness it to drive a circular transformation? A typical EU city is home to around 32,000 companies. When cities design their circular processes, data on these companies becomes a crucial input - but the volume and complexity of this data make it impossible for humans to process effectively. We’re excited to contribute to AI and Big Data driven city operations with our Value Chain Generator® tool, which can automatically analyse this vital information - even from as many as 32 million companies across EU cities. By helping cities understand and visualise their local ecosystem, and identify potential circular value chains, we enable them to design processes that reflect their unique landscapes, bringing the circular transition a step closer to reality. City processes give the “What”, while Value Chain Generator® provides the “How”.

As part of the #EUCircularTalks series, we had the pleasure of contributing as specialists in AI circular procurement at last week’s Digitalisation for Circular Procurement: Global Insights and Local Applications webinar. The focused dialogue on how digital solutions advance circular procurement highlighted some critical areas: 🌐 The value of publicly accessible procurement data for evaluation, as seen in Finland. 🔎 The importance of analysing failed circular procurement cases to identify barriers. 📝 The need for standardised terminology to align practices across the sector. 📚 The demand for more case studies and good practices in the design phase of procurement. Our CEO, Jon, shared insights on how AI and big data enable circular procurement — transforming how municipalities, companies, and regions adopt circular practices at scale. Jon presented the solutions developed within the CircularPSP project, where VCG.AI is developing AI-driven solutions for the circuarl economy transition of Cities. This was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the real-world impact of our advanced AI solutions in analysing procurement data, identifying gaps, and driving effective circular strategies. A big thank you to the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform for the invitation to contribute our expertise, and to everyone involved in the #EUCircularTalks for organising such a critical conversation!
