PrecisionPhage

Problem Summary
Over 4 million deaths every year are either solely caused by or attributable to antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. The need for alternative antibacterial therapies is acute, but none are available. This need is pressuring the legislation towards making current experimental therapies such as phage therapy a standard alternative to antibiotics. 

Solution summary
Phages are beneficial viruses infecting and killing bacteria – their natural enemies. Phages are very host specific, which means that a large collection is required for their wide utilization. Nevertheless, phages are already being employed in experimental therapies, but the advances in biotechnology is setting the stage for their routine use. PrecisionPhage houses a collection of 1400 bacteriophages against the most important bacterial pathogens along with other necessary IP. This places us in a strong position for leveraging the therapeutic and commercial potential of bacteriophages. We are providing innovative solutions for healthcare providers, research institutions, and businesses in the field.

Neuwo AI

Problem summary
Publishers and ad-tech companies are facing a significant challenge with the deprecation of tracking cookies. Due to that, online advertisement must move from targeting based on behavior to focusing into user interest. This means contextual targeting. Now there are companies that crawl and scrape publishers’ websites and then sell analysed info back to them. In overall this will lead to a huge loss of advertisement income and so moving contents behind payment walls. 

Solution summary
Neuwo stands out by offering a unique advantage in contextual targeting for publishers. Unlike its competitors, Neuwo enriches publishers’ own metadata instead of crawling or scraping it away. Neuwo’s powerful NLP algorithms creates semantical understanding from the text and identifies keywords, entities, sentiment, and other relevant attributes like IAB -contextual taxonomy tier levels.
