Best pitch awards

 

The chitin team

Our aim is to purify industrially valuable compounds from shellfish waste. 63000 tons of shellfish waste are produced every year, costing 2.7 million pounds to dispose of.

Chain of Thought

Using blockchain based technology, a recent innovation in de-centralized database design popularized by Bitcoin, we have designed Chain of Thought, a software infrastructure that quietly and reliably stores a time-stamped proof-of-creation for notes and emails to the blockchain. Chain of Thought allows users to quickly and easily prove the creation and authorship of a note, email, or file. This security provides the peace of mind for researchers to more openly share their ideas and to retrieve past records required to validate patent claims or otherwise protect their intellectual property.

Project Livelihood actively finds the poorest people in the world, and presents them with the opportunity to leverage themselves and their families out of poverty. We achieve this in two stages: education, and employment.

The Unforgettables

Medic SMS

In most developing countries, not only is the quality of healthcare substandard to that of more developed nations, but the dissemination of medical information is also limited due to poor internet connectivity. In these same countries, most citizens own ordinary feature phones and rely heavily on SMS text messaging for communication. MedicSMS is a fully automated system based on state-of-the-art machine learning that empowers those in developing countries with the ability to obtain medical advice and a preliminary diagnosis via SMS. Users simply text their symptoms to MedicSMS and receive a preliminary diagnosis and a doctor recommended course of action.
