We had the privilege of showcasing BladeBUG at the launch party for the UKII #InnovationSessions last night, masterfully orchestrated by Lucy Johnston and hosted by the renowned Swiss private bank Julius Baer. The event truly highlighted the incredible work Lucy is doing to spotlight the excellence of #UK #innovation #intelligence, bringing together pioneering minds driving the future of technology and sustainability. Some of the takeaways from the evening:- • Learning about Tokamak Energy and their progress towards commercializing clean, secure #fusionenergy, an exciting leap for #renewable power. • Seeing Windracers’ self-flying, #autonomous cargo aircraft, designed to withstand extreme environments—even Antarctica! • Inspired by Vertical Future, whose journey started from a £100k startup to a £150 million industry leader in #controlledenvironmentagriculture is nothing short of remarkable. • Fascinated by Levidian’s LOOP technology, which cracks methane gas into hydrogen and #capturescarbon in the form of high-quality graphene. • Who doesn’t love #robots tackling critical missions? Shadow Robot amazed us with case studies showcasing robots solving real-world problems. • Witnessing Greyparrot, backed by Tony Fadell, merging #AI and #sustainability to revolutionize #waste #intelligence. • Immersed by the efforts at Space Forge who are developing rapid, reliable and returnable platforms for #space, they also specialize in the manufacture of new super materials! • Last but not least and our Chief Innovation Officer's favorite being a former commercial diver, was of course the subsea habitats being developed by DEEP opening new frontiers for human access to the #ocean. Special thanks to HausBots for checking in with us during the event, it was great to re-engage! The UK’s brightest minds are truly paving the way for a sustainable and technologically advanced future and we are proud to be part of it.
