Craver provides a much-needed alternative to many independent restaurants and cafes, given the ongoing pandemic’s effect on the restaurant industry.

Symend is on a mission to improve the engagement and collection experience for financially vulnerable consumers. The startup has created a new interaction framework that uses behavioural science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to better attract, handle, and retain customers. The current global economic crisis has highlighted the need for more compassionate and effective collection strategies, such as Symend’s, which could bode well for the business in the years ahead.
BlueDot
BlueDot monitors the spread and effect of more than 150 infectious diseases around the world using artificial and human intelligence. The business was one of the first in the world to detect COVID-19’s spread. BlueDot is at the center of a critical and growing space, given the increasing emphasis on current and possible future pandemics.

Synex Medical
Synex Medical offers a wearable system that tracks metabolites that impact everything from weight gain to the risk of developing diabetes in real-time.
