LinkedInCross-Border Impact Ventures led the round, which will fund international expansion and product development.
"We’re still diagnosing in the twenty-first century with a test invented in the 1800s, and one that needs specialist equipment and training most of the world doesn’t have access to. Lower-income and minority communities pay the price for that first. That’s the gap we want to close at TidalSense, and the NHS is the first place we’re doing it,"
The laboratory simulator firm raised the funds from new investor Foresight Group alongside Mercia and Finance Yorkshire.
"Laboratory equipment is challenging to operate and technical problems are commonplace. Each service call-out typically costs manufacturers $2,500 and a breakdown can seriously disrupt health services by delaying critical test results. Envoke is tackling these problems. Customer feedback shows our system helps laboratories to reduce downtime and provide more consistent operator training, while enabling manufacturers to cut service costs and boost revenue."
The Cardiff-based agricultural technology company secured funding to scale international operations and advance its autonomous software ecosystem.
"Bringing GreenFingers to market simply wouldn’t have been possible at this pace without Foresight’s backing. Their investment has enabled us to turn an ambitious concept into meaningful value for growers. GreenFingerscreates a truly autonomous self-optimising lighting ecosystem, using advanced algorithms to determine the optimal supplementary intensity and spectrum. It automatically adjusts LED fixtures in real time to maintain a consistent DLI under a balanced cultivation environment."
The investment was led by Foresight Group to support the company in scaling its digital healthcare solutions.
"We are delighted to have secured investment from Foresight, marking a significant milestone in MWDH’s journey. Their support will enable us to accelerate our growth strategy, broaden our product offering, and further expand our global footprint."
Foresight Group provided growth capital to fund international expansion and product development.
"We are delighted to have secured this investment from Foresight, which marks a significant milestone in Aircards’ journey.
