MacRebur uses waste plastics destined for landfill or incineration and adding them into asphalt for road construction and surfacing to extend and enhance the bitumen (fossil fuel) binder. It argues that its carefully selected plastics, taken from the waste stream, are added into roads to improve strength and durability, whilst reducing the quantity of the oil-based bitumen used in a traditional road construction mix. MacRebur asserts that with each km of road laid using its MR products, the company sustainably uses up the equivalent weight of 740,541 one-time-use plastic bags. MacRebur has completed road tests in numerous countries including the UK and Europe, Turkey, Australia, and Japan to name a few. It has also signed agreements with India, the USA, Chile, Estonia, Kuwait, New Zealand, Switzerland, Bahrain, Spain, and Malaysia.

AirSensa is a proprietary globally-scalable cloud platform developed with the aim to avert air pollution globally. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 7 million die prematurely every year because of air pollution. Lack of poor data coupled with unreliable systems makes tracking air pollution a major task. Better data can help city authorities to make effective interventions, help businesses to improve operations, and help citizens avoid the worst of pollution. The company's unique big data platform (STORRM) can scale to run hundreds of thousands of sensors and serve any number of users simultaneously while providing reliable air pollution data. AirSensa's technology can also be used to understand the impact of Covid-19, to tackle the post-Covid complications due to air pollution by providing hyperlocal, real-time information to those people as well as the existing vulnerable groups like asthmatics and heart disease patients. The company will utilise the investment to drive business development, build a post-COVID product that will lead to potentially lesser fatalities due to risk from polluted air, and ensure more people join its ecosystem.

Gravitricity is an energy technology company based in Edinburgh, London. Its patented technology is based on a simple principle: raising and lowering a heavy weight to store and release energy. The Gravitricity system suspends weights of 500 - 5000 tonnes in a deep shaft by several cables, each of which is engaged with a winch capable of lifting its share of the weight. Electrical power is then absorbed or generated by raising or lowering the weight. The technology has a 25+ year life with no cyclical degradation, has no parasitic loads, is cost-effective and can be installed anywhere including city-centres. The company has recently submitted its fifth patent application and has won a grant under InnovateUK's Energy Catalyst programme. It is working with winch partner Huisman Equipment BV and controls-partner ISC to build a 250kW Concept Demonstrator and design modular full-scale systems. With the funds received, Gravitricity will buffer for any COVID-related delay in energy requirements amidst the global economic downturn.

Doordeck is a software that lets you unlock your office from your phone through integration with the building's existing access control infrastructure. Its software, along with its bespoke 'Tile' reader, makes unlocking doors from one's phone or smartwatch easy — by using the user's phone's internet connection & NFC scanner. Unlocking happens in a fraction of a second and securely using AES256 encryption. This is done by leveraging a building's existing access technology rather than ripping it all out. There are no expensive hardware costs, disruptive installation, and unreliable Bluetooth connections. The platform has been installed in hundreds of schools, offices, airports, and gyms across 10 countries including the UK, Russia, and the USA. It has been used to unlock doors more than 500,000 times. The company was selected as a finalist to showcase its innovation at the Airport Innovation Hub in Dubai. Recently, the company signed a distribution arrangement with Oprema- one of the largest and fastest-growing distributors of access control products in the UK. With the funds, the company will develop its team as well as build out more integrations with other market-leading access control systems.
