Enthela

Mineral fertilizers are expensive in a volatile market.+50% of the mineral fertilizers don't get absrobed by plants which makes them cost-ineffective and they also pollute the environment. Producing those fertilisers also pumps out about 1 % of global CO₂. Our solution Enthela replaces part of the mineral fertilizer (NP) with a bio-based fertiliser made from naturally occurring, nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Our micro-encapsulation keeps the microbes alive 5× longer and delivers +42 % nitrogen compared with uncoated strains. On-farm impact • Save up to 30 kg synthetic N per hectare and up to 20kg Phosphorus • 30 % yield lift in early vegetable trials • Zero nitrate run-off and lower greenhouse-gas emissions Where we are now • Lab proof-of-concept achieved (Nov ’24) • Field trials under way with Sofia University & Early adopters • Commercial scale in March 2026 🤝 Get involved We’re enrolling progressive growers and distributors for the 2026 pilot season across Central & Eastern Europe and Southern Europe.

Vodoraslo

Algaia’s project VODORASLO is developing a domestic photobioreactor device for air purification using algae as the main resource. The product is an indoor air solution for homes, schools, and offices where it can purify gases like CO2, NOX, SO2, and bigger pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, and VOCs. It is working based on photosynthesis where algae are “eating” the gases to produce oxygen and biomass. The biomass can be used as a natural fertilizer for plants, biodegradable packaging, food supply, pigment or in cosmetics. VODORASLO already developed its first device in 2021, created one hundred MVPs, and donated them to 25 Bulgarian schools. The company is working on a second prototype right now. A long-term target is to develop more complex B2B installations for bus stops, schools, hospitals, kindergartens, public space and buildings. VODORASLO is working also on long term project in the field of material science and development of algae and seaweed based products like plastics.

Gennome

Project Gennome uses an innovative approach applied for the first time in the Preclinical Phase of the Drug Discovery to find a comprehensive personalized medicine treatment for breast cancer. We call it the “Full Coverage Solution”, where: • We target all known genetic mutations associated with a disease (in this case - 110 mutations associated with breast cancer) and • We are looking for a new personalized treatment for each mutation. We do that by using our improved structure based in silico Drug Discovery Platform that allows the effective detection of new drug candidates - small molecules (with a molecular weight below 900 daltons) with distinct pharmacological properties. Our unique advantage is that: • We cover all stages up to IND, providing accurate predictions (with over 70% accuracy) about the ADMET activity of potential drug candidates. • Significantly improved speed of discovery. Depending on the complexity, we can develop potential drug candidate in 2 to 8 weeks, including predictions of its further activity (up to synthesis of the compounds and start of biological testing). By comparison, with most in silico technologies, this step takes from 6 to 18 months. Shorter R&D duration results in cost reductions and improved financial performance such as time to market (TTM).
