"Touch is the final frontier for robot interaction and entry into physical environments – enabling true dexterity and safety. We have taken on this challenge by developing a ‘full-stack’ solution; retrofittable e-skin that gathers the data, software to make sense of it, and integration to ensure it works in demanding applications – from grocery grasping to telerobotics in extreme environments. Octopus’ expertise propel us to achieve e-skin’s full potential and create a step-change in robotics."

"InPost was founded with a mission to make modern logistics convenient, cheaper and more environmentally friendly"

"We are thrilled with the opportunities this investment creates to develop Lupovis’ dynamic deception capabilities. Our system uses artificial intelligence to create scenarios which mirror the existing infrastructure of an organisation and engages the attacker into believing they are progressing towards assets of value, turning networks from a flock of sheep to a pack of wolves. We are in a unique position where we have unrivalled data on attacker techniques, methods and behaviour. We will feed this data into our platform, so our customers will always remain one step ahead of attackers, predicting their next move, long before they actually make it."

"Since our launch in July 2021, the response to our product has surpassed our expectations and confirmed there is a substantial market for our proposition at a time when how we work is changing.

"The digital economy is 22% of global GDP and yet it’s an inside joke that software and IT projects often overrun. Studies have shown that two-thirds of projects have planning failures. That’s a trillion dollar collective failure of our industry."

"Online summits have been a tool for digital marketers to share knowledge, but it’s always been complicated and cost-prohibitive for most entrepreneurs,"

"We’re always excited to see how the companies we’ve worked with continue to grow and innovate producing cutting edge research.

We’re pleased the team are getting the funding they deserve to continue this work."

"I want to thank our team for the hard work they’ve put in to get us where we are today. Like most companies, we’ve hit a rough patch at the start of the pandemic and we wouldn’t have made it without each and every individual contribution."

"This €2 million investment will allow us take our technology further into the European market and also enter the exciting North American market. We are planning to action our aggressive hiring plan over the coming months and grow our team significantly.

"Before founding Continuum Industries, we led a 150-people strong hyperloop team at the University of Edinburgh. While there, we built the UK’s first hyperloop prototype vehicle and successfully competed in contests run by SpaceX and Virgin Hyperloop One. It was the hyperloop moonshot that made us realise the socio-economic value of infrastructure and forced us to think about better ways of taking infrastructure projects from ideas to reality."

"Most companies are sitting on a growing pile of crucial customer feedback, but they lack the tools to actually make sense of it. We love that Prodsight unlocks this trapped value for customers by extracting actionable insights from customer feedback channels, allowing users to make the product changes that will matter the most."

"We believe that the concept of provenance will play a defining role in the future of software security and quality. All companies need end-to-end visibility and control of the assets in their software pipelines.
