African Applied Chemical (Pty) Ltd is a bio-technology company that specialises in the manufacture of a proprietary slow release fibres (Bi-KoTM). These fibres are made mainly from polypropylene copolymer. The fibres are specially engineered to store a high amount of liquid within their matrix and slowly release small amounts over a long period of time.

This technology is aimed at slowly releasing high value actives in order to prolong their residual effectiveness and reduce the overall cost of their use in practical applications. 

AgrigateOne is an agritech software company founded in 2018, dedicated to revolutionizing the fresh produce supply chain by blending innovative technology with deep agricultural expertise.

Its user-friendly cloud platform offers real-time data visibility for growers, packhouses, exporters, and buyers; automating workflows, ensuring traceability, and enabling data-driven decisions.

FibrePoynt technology uses passive beam forming, beam pattern diversity and beam shaping to get the best possible signal to the home units which then provides Wi-Fi for the end user devices to connect to. The technology promises a cost effective, faster-rollout, and high-speed alternative deployment of broadband infrastructure in areas that were previously deemed unfeasible.

FibrePoynt is proudly part of Poynting Antennas – the South African company that is one of the world’s leading innovators of antenna products.

CapeBio Technologies intends to develop a state-of-the-art AI platform to mine metagenomic data for novel antimicrobial peptide genes. This is a machine-learning and data-science-driven application that allows for better and novel detection of medically important genes that can be used to fight diseases such as cancer and tuberculosis.
