When we hear about the latest technology, augmented reality, algorithms or 3D, quickly imagine a lab in Silicon Valley with geeks to try to resolve the last mathematical equation that will allow launching a lightweight rocket space (or any other object not very close to reality). The fact is that technology is primarily a valuable lever for the development of products and services in other areas that often remain separate technological trends.
The offer these six startup , dedicated to agriculture, liquid resources, gas extraction industry and oil, energy and education, allows these sectors benefit of technology to improve all its processes. The visionary spirit and the ability to create innovative solutions to detected problems in these sectors are traits common to these startup , recently integrated in the initiative Enable Portugal Startups , promoted by Microsoft Portugal , which also have them removed his hat to his mission.
the agricultural sector has been converted …
first things first sector, in particular agriculture, which is on the radar of Agroop – New Impetus since its founding in 2014, in the village of Óbidos. You can create disruptive technological solutions to this age-old activity? The Agroop says yes, of course.
One of these solutions is the Agroop Operational an application of agricultural operational management aimed at all farmers looking for an efficient way to manage the business , monitor the exploitation, disposal of products and consulting costs of production, among other features. Also noteworthy is the agricultural assistance online given by an agronomist and specialized partners. By this time, we are already converted.
In addition, the team of 14 people is working on the launch, in the short term, new features in this application, available for smartphone and tablet and five new technological solutions – all to innovate once more in the agricultural sector
startup is not only desirable for agricultural managers.. Also it is for the national and international ecosystem : was a finalist in the UP Awards 2015 finalist of the US Innovation Awards, reached third place in the Innovation Awards EDP 2015 and was the first Portuguese company to obtain financing in the platform international crowdfunding Seedrs.
recently launched the second campaign finance this platform, in which any citizen can become a shareholder of startup by a financial contribution. The goal is to raise 75,000 Euros by June 2016. By the latest data, the campaign seems to seduce here inside and outside.
… and oil extraction industries also
it is well known the difficulties that oil and gas extraction industries face in their processes, but the Abyssal – Vision in depth literally made an in-depth analysis of industry and developed navigation systems for remotely operated underwater vehicles (commonly known as ROVs) to respond to a very great need.
JOHN ABREU MIRANDA
These operating systems use the most advanced technologies, such as 3D, augmented reality and precise navigation making it more secure, reliable and efficient monitoring of offshore operations. These can now be made from any location at any time or even in real time. As simple as controlled remotely a toy.
This “in-depth view” is the responsibility of a former student of the Faculty of the University of Porto and the team Venture Catalysts, Investing . in high science and technology component designs
the bet, already you won, currently have two fronts: the abyssalOS Offshore a system that provides pilots and supervisors 3D panoramic entire environment around the operation supported by accurate information through augmented reality, i.e. act as a second look perfeiro; and abyssalOS Command Center, a command center, own the best science fiction films, enabling the realization of operations in real time, anywhere.
A visionary team of 20 experts do not want to stay here and now finds himself working on three new solutions for the same sector.
a startup with good variety
from agriculture, oil and gas, we move to another area whose relationship with technology still seems to be most unlikely. In fact, it is perfect.
startup Watgrid develops products and solutions to monitor the quality and quantity of liquid resources in real time and form remote. Its portfolio now extends to the water, oil and wine, but it is in this last area that your know-how has been more mediated.
It’s called Winegrid and is a system that monitors key parameters during wine production, with real time data analysis, reducing the process costs and optimizing its efficiency. The most important wine regions of Portugal, as the Douro and Bairrada, or from Bordeaux and Champagne, in France, have already converted to this solution.
also Let’s make a toast to the awards that reinforce the success this startup of Aveiro, founded in 2014, has achieved in just two years won the fourth edition of the MIT-ISCTE prize (an international co-organized competition between MIT and ISCTE), the tender startups 33 entrepreneurs in Bordeaux, France, and was elected one of the four startup to follow in 2014 by SapoTek. in good varieties so.
When innovation comes the account of light
the energy expenditure concerns any consumer, especially in the first days of the month. Concerned about energy efficiency and the degree of anxiety of those who have to pay, the Watt-IS – Watt Intelligent Solutions increases the watt, energy measure, a dimension more efficient and rational.
This startup founded in 2012 and based in Torres Vedras, has seven employees to develop solutions that translate complex data power consumption for displays and smart metering It’s simple. What does this mean changed in watts? means that the consumer is to realize, for example, when and how their appliances are used, allowing you to consider a more rational use of energy.
the services that startup provides aim to what we can call “energy literacy”: a better understanding of key issues and the ability to understand the readings and invoices for greater discretion. These solutions are available to energy suppliers, who can use them with an important marketing tool for their clients, but their own end-users can access the site the startup to know other useful tips.
Did you know, for example, to use a socket extension with button “on” or “off” in certain equipment, such as television or the computer, allows you to save up to 30 euros per year? Make “on” to this startup.
will bah-ceive the future
When it comes to the professional context education is another. We want a proper training supply to market requirements, our work schedules, our pace and disposal.
In this field, there are two startup Portuguese who have realized what the bê will be appreciated-bah of the future: Eduke.me and Learning Hubz. Une them the ability to anticipate needs and offer “tailor-made” adequate to the needs of students in a professional context.
The Lisbon Eduke.me , founded in 2014, is assumed as a digital academy that provides any organization with a w platform b or mobile with an offer of courses that can be tailored to the profile and pace of trainees and the objectives of companies. This means that all content is available online with a strong presence of the video, and the student can learn, step by step, at your pace, getting in the end, a certificate by assessing their knowledge in tests online.
The quality of the courses is the result of partnerships with experts and Portuguese universities, as ISCTE, and the contents respond to some of the “one million dollar questions.” Communicate with Digital Marketing, Creation and Management of attendance at social networks, Acquire Customers with Google Adwords and Facebook Ads and Be Found with SEO are some examples.
Sharing the same concept and challenges, the Learning Hubz , acting since October 2014 from Lisbon to all business centers the country, focuses on the provision of content in the areas of business management. Move to the notion that the provision of training in enterprises is generally inadequate to the challenges, sporadic, existing only in the concept of class and very expensive.
This startup thus allows any company has an area, housed in a cloud , with the best courses and short online videos, selected or prepared from scratch to meet the specific needs of its employees. The Learning Hubz was selected in February 2015 to join the largest incubator of Lisbon -. The Startup Lisbon and joined the program Microsoft BizSpartTM
In the end, it’s easy to translate the performance of the six startup a simple mathematical operation (perhaps, protective of the next law of technological vision): detect a market need + present innovative solutions and achievable = startup success .
