Symbrosia – Develops and cultivates fast-growing seaweed strains for high-value products. Symbrosia developed a natural seaweed feed additive that drastically reduces livestock methane emissions by 80% and called “the seaweed that could save the planet” by The Verge, Forbes, and Inc Magazine.  Symbrosia is scaling production rapidly and partnering with researchers, ranchers, distributors, and brands to build supply chains that reward producers for producing low-methane animal products.  https://symbrosia.co/

UbiQD – An advanced materials company powering product innovations in agriculture, clean energy, and security.  UbiQD quantum dots enable industry leaders to harness the power of light. Their first product, UbiGro®, creates a more optimal greenhouse spectrum for crops. http://www.ubiqd.com

Clean Crop Technologies – Developing cold plasma technology which can degrade the pathogens, toxins, and pests responsible for food waste using cold plasma chemistry to ionize a food-safe gas, creating short-lived and highly reactive molecules. These species quickly destroy pathogens without harming food quality, then revert, leaving no residue or harmful byproducts. This happens inside a machine that is energy-efficient, robust, scalable, and sized to fit into a production line. https://cleancroptech.com/
