Where Innovation Meets Imagination
This summer’s weather extremes were stark reminders that climate change is not only real, it’s here.
Less visible to most of us than smoke-filled skies, water-logged roads, and life-threatening heat – but just as important – is the dramatic and ongoing decline of global bee populations.
Many crops rely on commercially managed honeybees, wild native bees, and other pollinators to reproduce. [Read more…] about Robotics engineers work to ‘bee’ part of climate change solution
Promise Robotics, an AI company developing a cloud-based industrial production platform for robotic construction and assembly, has raised $15 million in Series A funding, bringing its total funding raised to date to $25 million.
This round was led by Horizons Ventures with participation from Radical Ventures, PSP Investments, and strategic investors, including United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Relay Ventures, and Alate Partners.
