Vesiro is a Gothenburg-based spin-out from Chalmers University that provides a performance-focused plug-in for Elasticsearch clusters. The software enables organisations operating large datasets—such as those in business intelligence, e-commerce and AI—to run identical workloads on fewer servers, cutting infrastructure costs and energy use. Internal benchmarks and early pilot deployments indicate meaningful search-speed improvements, allowing customers to decommission or avoid additional servers without altering existing systems. With rising global data volumes and data centres already consuming roughly 1 % of worldwide electricity, Vesiro’s value proposition centres on both cost savings and sustainability. The company plans to use its fresh capital to expand the technical team, accelerate product development and ramp up market rollout. Financial details such as revenue or customer count have not been disclosed, but the €1.6 million seed round provides runway for scaling the product and converting pilots into paying customers.

Flox Intelligence builds ‘physical AI’ platforms that combine real-time sensing, embedded systems, bioacoustics, and applied wildlife science to influence animal behavior and keep wildlife away from critical infrastructure. Its first commercial product, Edge, evolved from KTH Royal Institute of Technology research and has been field-validated for five years in harsh, low-connectivity environments. The system is already deployed at airports, rail corridors, roads, industrial sites, and agricultural and urban settings, logging more than 60,000 wildlife events across 27 species and demonstrating measurable reductions in wildlife presence. Current customers and partners include the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Gerald R. Ford International Airport, WWF, KWS Group, Boliden, and Alstom. Each deployment feeds data back into a growing biodiversity intelligence layer, strengthening future implementations and creating a non-lethal wildlife dataset. With new funding, the company plans to accelerate commercial rollouts across the U.S. and Canada and meet rising international demand. Flox Intelligence operates from a growing New York headquarters and positions itself as a scalable, less-than-lethal alternative to traditional fencing, pyrotechnics, and culling methods.
