Founded in Cape Town in 2014, Aerobotics uses aerial imagery from drones and satellites, and blends them with machine learning algorithms to provide early problem detection and yield management services to tree and wine farmers and optimise crop performance. Aerobotics also works with the crop insurance industry in the US, using objective crop performance measures to help enable more data driven decision to be made. Aerobotics’ cloud-based application Aeroview provides farmers with insights, scout mapping and other tools to mitigate damage to tree and vine crops from irrigation issues, nutrition deficiencies, pest and disease.
At Amped Innovation, we design breakthrough products for people living on less than four dollars per day. Our first product, the Blossom, is a solar home power system which is the lowest-cost and highest-performance product in its class, at one third the price and twice the power handling of competing systems. We built the Blossom with a software-enabled Pay-As-You-Go interface, which allows customers to purchase it in payment installments that are equivalent to what they currently spend on kerosene, while providing much more light, cell-phone charging, and ability to run appliances like televisions and sewing machines.
Kigali and Nairobi-based Ampersand is an African manufacturer of electric motorcycles, battery packs and charging systems designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions of taxi and delivery motorbikes in Sub-Saharan Africa. Ampersand is Africa's first light electric vehicle startup, with the largest fleet, team and R&D investment, and longest track record, and only scale-ready technology. The company offers electric motorcycles, and a fleet of Ampersand's unique battery packs from it's network of battery swapping stations. Ampersand serves Africa's largest fleet of electric motorcycles, which already cover the distance from Cape to Cairo four times a day.
