Vestemi
Radbot is a completely new type of smart heating solution that detects when a room is occupied by measuring changes in light. Radbot then heats the room when you’re there and lowers the temperature when you’re not. It predicts when you're going to come back in, and warms the room up again for that moment. It's low cost and pays for itself within a year.

After several months of production in our pilot farm, we currently master all the processes and sell all of our productions. Consequently, we are planning our scale-up and our next fundraising of 6 M€, in order to go from a pilot farm to an industrial one: our scaled-up farm, Mangrove #1, will allow us to produce 25 tons of shrimps a year, and 50 tons of vegetables, on a surface of 1,5 hectare. This farm should start being operated in 2022 and generate about 1,250 million euros a year.
