Energy Utilities Could Save a Fortune Using This Startup’s Grid Upgrade System

Visionary Energy Scouted Interview

Across the world, electricity grids are under growing stress. Overloaded transformers, rising outages, and reliability risks are becoming more common. Modernizing just the US grid alone could cost upwards of $2 trillion over the next decade. These traditional grid modernization projects take that long due to permitting, supply chain delays, and construction bottlenecks. A startup […]

How Startups are Crossing the Scale Barrier for Cultivated Pet Food

cultivated pet food challenges and startups

The most visible trend in cultivated pet food is not replacement, but integration. Early products rarely attempt to substitute conventional meat entirely. Instead, cultivated proteins are introduced as functional components within broader formulations. This approach reflects a pragmatic understanding of both economics and trust. Partial inclusion allows brands to highlight benefits such as cleanliness, consistency, […]

This startup fetches 99% of valuable lithium from polluted wastewater!

IonIQs Scouted Article

Lithium refining is highly water-intensive. It requires up to 2.1 million liters of water per ton of lithium produced. In regions such as the South American highlands, this contributes to water scarcity and rising environmental concerns.  At the same time, sodium contamination remains one of the biggest challenges in lithium purification. Because sodium and lithium […]

This Simple Innovation Is Solving Solar Panel Dust Problems With Wind!

Dustoss Scouted Article

One of the most persistent issues in solar energy is the loss of efficiency due to dirt and dust accumulation on solar panels. Dust buildup can decrease a solar panel’s output by 4–7%, especially in arid or dusty regions, such as deserts or tropical climates. Traditional cleaning methods, such as manual washing, use water and […]

This startup grows medicines and organs in a box without constant human labour!

Unicorn Biotechnology Scouted Article

Biotechnology companies worldwide face a major bottleneck: turning scientific discoveries into real, scalable products. Manual cell culture is slow, difficult to reproduce, and heavily dependent on individual skill. Even experienced scientists introduce variability, and most labs lack digital systems that monitor biological changes in real time. As a result, promising work in drug development, climate […]

These 10 Agri-Tech Startups Are Turning Farms Into Smart, Chemical-Free Zones Using AI!

Agri Tech Startups

The global population is set to hit 9.8 billion by 2050, demanding around 14,886 million tons of World cereal equivalent (CE) food. Astoundingly, up to 40 percent of global crop production is annually lost to pest-related issues. This highlights the urgency of rethinking agricultural practices to improve yields and meet the rising food requirements. The […]

This Startup Ensures You Hit Your Protein Goals Using Beer Leftovers!

Upcycled Foods Scouted Interview

According to market estimates, up to one-third of the food produced worldwide is wasted, often during production or at the consumer level. This waste represents a lost resource and a missed opportunity to create sustainable, nutritious ingredients to improve food security. The conventional food system relies heavily on linear processes that result in significant waste, […]

This startup empowers every town to make its own hydrogen!

Ostermeyer Hydrogen Solutions Scouted Interview

Producing hydrogen has always been a large-scale operation, confined to massive industrial plants equipped with specialized infrastructure and high energy demands. But imagine if you could make it at home. So far, this hasn’t been possible because hydrogen production typically requires intensive energy input, costly catalysts, and complex safety systems to manage its flammability and […]

These 5 HVAC Innovations From Early-Stage Startups Will Bring You Closer To Net Zero Emissions!

Emerging HVAC Startup Innovations

HVAC systems account for 20% of global building electricity consumption, making energy efficiency improvements critical to meeting decarbonization targets. Yet most innovation in this space has been limited to marginal improvements in existing compressor designs, refrigerants, or control systems. Now, with regulations like the AIM Act mandating an 85% reduction in HFCs by 2036 and […]

This Startup Uses Gene Expression to Diagnose Livestock Issues Before the Symptoms Even Appear!

Biofractal Scouted Interview

Many livestock animals have low‑grade health or nutrition issues that show no apparent signs. These health and nutritional problems go undetected because routine checks only catch obvious signs. Conditions such as Johne’s disease and subclinical parasitism are estimated to contribute to annual losses of hundreds of millions of dollars, impacting feed efficiency, growth rates, and […]

We’ve Been Making Chemicals Wrong for 100 Years. This Startup Changes That.

CERT Systems Scouted Interview

The chemical industry is responsible for over 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily because it relies on fossil fuels as raw materials. Nearly every product we use today (plastics, textiles, fertilizers, fuels) starts with petrochemicals. This foundational reliance makes decarbonizing the industry one of the most complicated sustainability challenges. Moreover, as demand for chemicals […]

This startup achieves 4000x cost reduction in cultivated meat production!

Meatly Scouted interview

The global meat industry is responsible for significant environmental harm, including the excessive use of land, water, and energy. For instance, livestock farming contributes 14.5% of global GHG emissions. Additionally, traditional meat production often involves animal welfare issues, such as factory farming, the use of antibiotics, and growth hormones. Ethical issues aside, these animal meats […]

How This Startup Turned a Neglected Legume into a Whipping Cream Alternative!

Andfoods Scouted interview

Many plant-based dairy options, such as oat, almond, or rice milk, contain very little protein, some with less than 0.5%.
