Das Projekt im Überblick

NB: Dieses Formular wird ausschließlich von den Personen, die die Innovation vorschlagen, ausgefüllt.

Welches Problem wird gelöst?

Monitoring biodiversity across the tree of life at scale.

Wie wird es gelöst?

Developed an air-sampling solution to autonomously collect DNA traces from the air and preserve if for molecular analysis. The sampler is designed to be the building block for a global sampling network.

Wer sind die potenziellen Kunden?

Governments as well as all large businesses who will have to monitor their impact on biodiversity (Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework)

Inwiefern differenziert sich diese Lösung von anderen?

The few existing environmental DNA (eDNA) companies perform manual sampling (hinders scalability) and mostly focus on eDNA from water. Remote sensing is extremely scalable but can only observe from the top and only capturing a fraction of biodiversity (mostly large plants)
