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.

Alvie offers HYGO, a SaaS digital advisory tool that optimises pesticide application timing, technique, and mixture to maximise plant protection efficiency while cutting chemical use. HYGO draws on a database of over 22,000 agricultural inputs and a patented algorithm that analyses weather, soil properties, and crop type; it also integrates an onboard micro‑weather station for real‑time guidance to minimise drift and evaporation. The company aims to reduce pesticide use by up to 70% while field studies to date demonstrate reductions of up to 30% without compromising crop yields, and benefits for soil microbial activity and carbon sequestration. Founded in 2020 by Edita Bezegova, Nadir Ghrous, and Theo Kazmierczak, Alvie positions itself as a farmer‑first, practical solution built alongside growers. The startup plans to use new funding for product development and international expansion following early validation in field studies.
