The Noé Group’s venture capital arm Goldacre has chosen nine start-ups for its 2022 RElab programme, focusing on areas including industrialised construction and sustainability.
The cohort’s specialisms also include supply chain management and digitisation. This year’s participants are located in the UK, US, Germany, Finland, Norway and Australia.
Each start-up will receive £100,000 of initial investment. During the 14-week programme, which is in its third year, the companies will also receive access to decision makers within a network of industry partners, with scope to explore commercial opportunities with them.
Fionnuala Hogan (pictured above with David Bloom), founder of RElab, said: “With our partners, our vision is to create an international scale-up programme, supporting exceptional innovators from across the globe and building deep collaboration across industry, investment and entrepreneurs.”
David Bloom, founding partner of Goldacre, said he had been “highly impressed by the diverse range of talent from this year’s cohort”.
The programme is supported by partners including Capreon, JCA Engineering, Kier, Knight Frank, Landsec, Lockton, Logifruit, Mace, RSBG, Sacyr and White & Case.
Companies that have taken part in the programme in recent years include Spaceti, which creates software used to enhance productivity and wellbeing for building users.
The 2022 line-up in full:
- Arx (UK)
Arx Alliance is a cyber-risk management platform that allows corporate users to identify, evaluate and risk-score their suppliers and other third-party contacts. - ASDRO (Germany)
ASDRO offers efficient surveying of the surface and subsurface by drone and uses proprietary hardware and software to collect and process complex subsurface data. - Avvir (US)
Avvir’s AI platform compares reality-capture data against the BIM model to algorithmically quantify construction progress and evaluate construction quality in a hardware agnostic solution that analyses both 360-degree photos and laser scans in near real-time. - Cambridge Carbon Capture (UK)
Cambridge Carbon Capture has developed a patented technology which removes CO2 from the atmosphere and converts it into a usable, versatile and widely marketable material that is strong, lightweight and extremely fire and water-resistant. - Hyperion Robotics (Finland)
Hyperion Robotics has developed a robotic system that automatically produces reinforced concrete structures that eliminate waste by up to 90% and cost and execution time by up to 70%. - Podaris (UK)
Podaris is a real-time online collaboration platform for planners, engineers, policymakers, and public stakeholders to rapidly draft from scratch or import from existing projects to quickly test ideas. - Rebartek (Norway)
Rebartek automates rebar installation and produces bespoke reinforcement cages using an automated robotic manufacturing process to deliver precision rebar cages on short notice. - Voyage Control (UK)
Voyage Control has developed a cloud-based platform to manage, optimise, track, and communicate deliveries to streamline their customer’s end-to-end logistics and supply chain. - Ynomia (Australia)
Ynomia offers an end-to-end solution to enable connected jobsites, which locate in real-time: people, materials, plant and equipment, to convert worksites into an IOT digital twin that harnesses real-time data to build faster and safer.
