Home to more than 100 countries and 2 billion people, it’s an active center of thought and resourcefulness among its inhabitants and businesses. This year’s list of the top 10 most innovative companies in the region includes everything from behemoth international giants to tiny startups with no more than a handful of employees. What they share are timely, original ideas, ambition, and impact.
2021年，总部位于德国的西门子使Biontech能够适应其在Marburg的生产设施，从而在不到一半的时间内开始生产救生Covid-19疫苗。Firstcheck Africa，尼日利亚的女性领导的预种植基金正在大陆上以女性领导的初创企业进行大量赌注。蛋糕是瑞典的电子自行车制造商，设计了一辆安静的电动自行车，该自行车由太阳能提供动力，并被非洲的保护主义者使用，以偷偷偷偷摸摸。Iceye，aFinnish company, uses eye-in-the-sky satellites to help monitor natural catastrophes down on planet Earth. A U.K.-based company has found a way to turn pollution into ink. A Kenyan company is using software to radically streamline Africa’s shipping industry. A German company is saving water (and the planet) by bringing modular vertical farming facilities closer to cities, and a Nigerian firm is disrupting the ride-hailing industry via its bus subscription service. Finally, two AI companies show how lifesaving and fun artificial intelligence can be. A U.K.-based firm’s AI is capable of “fact-checking” mammograms to make sure the tests were administered properly, and an Israeli company is using artificial intelligence to bring photographs to life—just like inHarry Potter。
1. Siemens
For being the brains behind vaccine production
当Biontech准备调整其在德国马尔堡的生产设施，以开始生产其与辉瑞公司开发的mRNA Covid-19疫苗的小瓶，因此完成该项目的共识估计是整整一年。那太久了。因此，Biontech求助于西门子 - 设法获得了the facility在五个月内准备就绪，同时将过程完全数字化。From production documentation to vial-weighing processes that were previously done manually, Siemens’s overhaul got the plant up to speed, enabling the facility to produce as much as 625 million doses in 2021. The companies are now collaborating to expand vaccine-production capacity further, including a new plant they are building together in Singapore.
2. ICEYE
For enabling more persistent monitoring of sites on the ground, from space
Radar satellite imaging companyICEYE，，，，based in Espoo, Finland, has been helping customers in such fields as natural catastrophe response and recovery, insurance, maritime monitoring, security, and finance gather crucial surveillance data—in a timely enough manner so that they can act on it—since it was launched in 2014. Now it is giving them the visibility to act even faster. ICEYE’s每日连贯的地面轨道重复（GTR）成像系统于2021年启动，每24小时提供每24小时的“连贯变更检测”，这是卫星轨道的调整，比以前的行业标准高四倍，允许从该卫星轨道进行调整，从而可以从该卫星轨道上捕获图像每天同一地点。The system, already in use by FEMA, NOAA, and several large insurance companies, will be rolled out widely in 2022. ICEYE also recently launched four additional satellites with SpaceX (for a total of 16), including one that’s been directed to increase ICEYE’s imaging resolution.
3. Firstcheck Africa
因为不等待投资非洲的女性创始人
Firstcheck Africa，由女性领导的预种植基金于2021年1月成立，其任务是“早期”投资于有前途的非洲初创公司，这些初创企业由妇女带来，这些初创公司的资金不足。它已经投资了许多创新且在本地重要的投资组合公司，包括Foondamate（帮助有限的Internet访问在线学习学生），HealthTracka（使用户可以在家中订购诊断测试），Tushop（评估肯尼亚的杂货需求，社区水平，以促进交付并降低价格）和Zoie Health（在南非提供家庭咨询和避孕和健康测试套件的交付）。FirstCheck’s cofounders—Eloho Omame, until recently the managing director of Endeavor Nigeria, and Odunayo Eweniyi, cofounder and COO of savings and investment app PiggyVest and cofounder of the Feminist Coalition—both serial entrepreneurs themselves, also work to demystify VC jargon for all prospective founders and the public, via its friendly Instagram and Twitter accounts.
4. Pangaia
For capturing carbon, along with the fashion crowd
材料科学服装品牌与Graviky Labs合作，创建了一种碳捕获技术，该技术将污染颗粒回收到水基墨水中，该墨水用于打印徽标和其他徽章。与可穿戴生态技术空间中的竞争对手不同，该空间将自己推向齿轮头和早期技术采用者，Pangaia已经锁定了时尚人群和炒作；在三年内，该公司在Instagram上吸引了100万关注者。除了其三岁的基于花朵的唐人物外，该公司还推出了可再生能源，可生物降解的纤维，由香蕉和菠萝叶，荨麻，竹子，桉树和海藻制成；可持续的牛仔布系列；以及与十二个人合作采用不同形式的碳捕获技术的眼镜收藏。使用Molifix，Pangaia首次亮相了一系列由细菌基染料颜色的衣服CH在发布后的24小时内售罄。2021 included another notable launch as well: a B2B business, called Pangaia Science, that is helping brands such as H&M, COS, and Me+Em with their evolutions toward sustainability.
5. Kheiron Medical
For using AI to “fact check” breast scans for proper positioning
In 2021,应用科学公司，，，，founded in 2016, launchedMia IQ，一种可以自动扫描乳房X线照片以检测次优乳腺定位和压缩迹象的AI工具 - 人眼并不总是看到，但这可能会阻碍癌症的检测。如果MIA IQ对乳房X线照片的检查检测到次优扫描，则放射科医生可以与技术人员合作，以改善未来的结果并调整培训计划。如果需要ary。该工具已在FDA上注册，目前正在放射线医生使用。
6. Sote
用于简化非洲航运业
Sote(Swahili for “all of us”) is Africa’s first licensed logistics company that’s using software to help importers and exporters on the continent move cargo via waterways and navigate customs and other regulations having to do with trade. Sote, which was founded in 2018 and charges around $1,500 per container handled, provides a real-time dashboard that allows manufacturers, retailers, and distributors unprecedented and much-needed visibility into forwarding and receiving processes and shipment status, saving time and money. (Previously, tracking this information paying customs fees had been done via phone, email, and other analog methods.) Kenya-born founder and CEO Felix Orwa, who splits his time between the company’s offices in Nairobi and Palo Alto，，，，has said that the company—which aims to do for Africa what Flexport, which has raised $2.2 billion, is doing for the rest of the world—has more than tripled its customer base in the past year, with 50 customers having signed on as of December 2021. Revenue, he says, is up 200% year over year.Sote secured $4.4 million in venture funding in 2021, bringing its total raise to more than $8 million.
7. D-ID
For using AI to enable moving photographs—just like in theHarry Potter电影
D-ID’s AI-powered live-portrait technology leverages deep learning algorithms to bring a photo to life, no matter how old it is. Just upload any portrait of a person—even your father as a boy, or your great-great-grandmother—and it becomes animated. According to the company, people have already done thismore than 100 million times, thanks与家谱服务MyHeritage合作，称为“ Deep Nostalgia”，该公司于2021年2月启动。这家总部位于特拉维夫的五年历史的AI公司在过去一年中也将这种新的“创意现实”扩展到其他方向上。最近的休·杰克曼（Hugh Jackman）电影的晋升怀旧that allowed viewers to insert themselves in a starring role, a public service project called “Listen to Our Voices” that reanimated the faces of women killed by domestic abuse, and a partnership with Josh, India’s TikTok. In November, D-ID announced a partnership with AR/VR company Glimpse to develop immersive experiences in the metaverse.
8. Infarm
For bringing larger-scale vertical farming closer to the end users
infarm，，，，already a giant in the vertical farming sector with operations in 50 cities in 11 countries—and a retail network that includes chains such as Whole Foods, Aldi, Safeway, Kroger, and Marks & Spencer—grew even bigger in 2021. The Berlin-based company, which launched in 2013, debuted a new, high-capacity facility called a Growing Center that can produce what the company says is up to 400 times more efficient than traditional farms and recirculate 20 liters of water condensation per hour, using up to 10,000,000 fewer liters of water per year than traditional farms. Nearly 20 Growing Centers are currently under construction or development, in cities including London, Paris, Copenhagen, Toronto, Vancouver, Seattle, and Tokyo.使它们如此容易构建的是它们的模块化。每个不断增长的中心都是由数十个单独的小标记“农业单位”制成的，这些单位可以在几周内建造。该公司在2021年12月筹集了2亿美元的D系列D，这将推动包括中东在内的扩张。

For engineering silent, streamlined electric bikes that combat real problems
The six-year-old Swedish electric bike manufacturer该公司还拥有2021年涡轮增压2021年。除了在斯德哥尔摩和瑞典的一家工厂开设陈列室外，还筹集了6000万美元的资金，该公司还宣布了几辆值得注意的新车：一辆城市自行车，在9月份发行的一周内售罄；耐用的电力自行车，用于送货司机，工匠和其他服务提供商；可以安装在电动汽车电动汽车后部的电极兼容的车辆，并在高速公路上运输时被汽车充电，例如在高速公路上 - 然后用于最后一英里的通勤。And then there’s theKalk AP，，，，which offers sustainability on a whole different level. Conservationists in Africa have traditionally used motor bikes to patrol savannas in an attempt to thwart and catch poachers. However, those bikes require fuel—scarce in some regions of Africa—and their loud engines alert poachers to their approach. Cake’s quiet, solar-powered Kalk AP nullifies these two drawbacks. In October, Cake’s first Kalk AP models were delivered to rangers with the Southern African Wildlife College in South Africa, who are helping to refine the vehicle for optimal use in the bush. A limited charity arrangement with Salt Lake City-based solar power company Goal Zero will let people donate to the effort by buying a bundle—a bike, a solar power station, and solar panels—enabling rangers to charge their bikes off the grid.
10. Shuttlers
For making bus transit an appealing option
Commuting by bus in Lagos (Africa’s most populous city) and Abuja (Nigeria’s capital) had been a dangerous and frustrating proposition, with people having to run after buses in order to get seats, and robbery and kidnapping a constant threat. For the cities’ emerging tech workforce, just getting to work was a challenge. Now, via the Shuttlers app, people can book a seat for a journey along a fixed route in advance. It’s less expensive than ride-hailing options, with no surge pricing, and a subscription offering. B2B options allow companies to cover some or all of their employees’ commutes and even charter buses directly.Shuttlers，，，，which has been bootstrapped for most of its six-year existence, partnered in 2019 with Ford and the Global Water Challenge to help women use their commuting time to access development training and professional support, raised $1.6 million in 2021, and is working to expand beyond Nigeria.
