"Digital Catapult is doubling down on its efforts to support UK businesses in the successful adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, with its latest startup accelerator programme targeting the agrifood sector. The organisation's 14-week accelerator programme is made up of nine AI-first startups tasked with solving specific challenges in the agrifood sector, such as working out ways to accurately forecast cattle milk volumes and optimise feed schedules."
"The nine participating startups include manufacturing sector-focused cloud technology provider Rubik, which will be trialling its Data Mule business intelligence platform during the programme. Another participant is Barefoot Lightning, which will feed data from farmers into its platform to boost production quality and cut carbon emissions, while fellow participant Fiscrop will develop a modelling tool to improve disease management and feed efficiency."
"Crop Intellect is also taking part in the accelerator, and will focus on developing a monitoring, reporting and verification system to assist with the scaling up of its nitrogen dioxide removal offering. Carbon Rewild will be using the accelerator to test an AI bird classifier, while Wilder Sensing will be championing a technology that can validate habitat classifications and improve environmental impact assessments. Meanwhile, Data Dynamics will be using geospatial monitoring to test and validate capabilities on cocoa farming data in West Africa, and Mozaic Earth will seek to scale its smartphone-enabled Scope 3 emissions reporting tool."
Digital Catapult is expanding support for UK businesses adopting AI through a 14-week accelerator focused on the agrifood sector. Nine AI-first startups will target specific production and supply-chain challenges such as forecasting cattle milk volumes and optimising feed schedules. Participating companies will trial business intelligence platforms, farmer data integration, modelling for disease and feed efficiency, monitoring for nitrogen dioxide removal, AI-based species classification, habitat validation, geospatial cocoa-farming monitoring, and smartphone-enabled Scope 3 emissions reporting. The programme aims to increase digital supply chain resilience and accelerate adoption of deep-tech solutions across agrifood operations.
