by Startacus Admin

A virtual demo day took place to mark the end of RELab's second scale-up programme featuring 9 international startups showcasing their innovative solutions...

 

This year’s RElab Demo Day was a virtual affair with 9 international startups from the UK, US, Israel, Turkey, Finland and Spain showcasing their innovative solutions in the areas of smart spaces, construction tech, sustainable technologies and future mobility models to an audience of industry leaders and investors.

Demo Day marks the culmination of RElab’s second scale-up programme powered by Goldacre Ventures, a London-based VC firm focusing on the smart built environment that is part of the Noé Group. The 2020 programme was delivered virtually with the cohort working closely with partners on refining product-market fit and exploring commercial pilot opportunities, as well as benefiting from a range of roundtable and panel events. All the companies also received an initial investment of £100,000 from Goldacre Ventures’ investors.

The companies that presented at the Demo Day included:

ECOncrete (Israel) has developed a revolutionary science-based approach to eco-engineering of urban, coastal, and marine infrastructure. 

Massive Analytic (UK) has created a suite of products that makes understanding and applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to business as simple and ubiquitous as Microsoft Excel made using spreadsheets. 

Modulous (UK) are developing a digital platform to enable the high-speed design, procurement and delivery of quality, sustainable and affordable homes.  

Qualis Flow (UK) has developed an internet of things and machine learning solution for the construction industry.  

Reengen (Turkey) has developed an artificial intelligence powered energy management platform used by facility management companies and enterprises to measure, analyse and optimise energy consumption, manage utility bills and enhance sustainability across buildings.

Skyline Robotics (Israel) has developed a Robotics-as-a-Service platform that leverages off-the-shelf components with existing machines and combines them with proprietary software to create giant robots which can perform dangerous jobs currently done by people.  

StrongArm Technologies (US) helps workers in the logistics, construction, distribution and light manufacturing spaces to reduce injuries and increase their productivity. 

VisiLean (Finland) is a cloud-based construction management service that empowers construction teams to efficiently plan and control projects.  

Zeleros (Spain): Zeleros is developing hyperloop-inspired technology combining the speed of a plane, the convenience of a train and the frequency of an underground system, making long distance journeys faster, more energy-efficient and direct-emissions free.

Fionnuala Hogan, Founder, RElab, and Managing Director, Goldacre Ventures, said: “This was our first-ever virtual Demo Day and we were extremely proud to share an exceptional and international group of entrepreneurs innovating in the smart built environment. This year was different because of the measures that we had to put in place as the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 crisis and our startups and partners did a fantastic job innovating and adapting to this new virtual world.”

David Bloom, Founding Partner of the Noé Group, added: “I am extremely proud of what the Goldacre team has achieved as part of this year’s RElab. Despite the difficulties and major logistical changes, we have adapted quickly and efficiently to put on yet another fantastic RElab programme. We look forward to continuing to work with the cohort as they look to scale their business and expand and grow into new markets.”
