UK-based, Recycleye brings advanced ML, computer vision & robotics to the global waste management industry. Using FANUC industrial robots (under a mutually exclusive agreement), the startup has developed image recognition software that can distinguish btw different types of waste (e.g. plastics, aluminum, paper & cardboard) extremely quickly (objects are scanned & identified at unrivaled 60 frames per second – 2x the industry standard - & each item is seen on avg 30 times as it passes along the conveyor belt); then “picking it” - at the end of the sorting process, in a material recovery facility (MRF) - with more consistent accuracy than a human. Recycleyes' tech can be retrofitted to existing material recovery facilities...

Germany-based, Recovery Cat develops an app to support therapy planning, medication adjustment & crisis management for patients with severe mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or recurrent depressive disorders). By regularly querying the (target) symptoms, side effects, medication intake & life events adapted to the therapy, patients & therapists can better understand whether & how the therapy works. Noticing any possible changes & regular personalized follow-up can help patients remain stable in the long term. Interestingly, the app’s code has been open-sourced. Recovery Cat was founded in 2020 & spun out of the BIH Digital Health Accelerator in autumn 2022 by Alissa Maresa Rohrbach (CEO), Jakob Kaminski & Andreas Pittrich.
