BEEKEEPER TECH W.L.L
Our food security and agricultural biodiversity, are threatened due to tremendous losses of bee colonies worldwide during the last decade.
Beekeepers raise their beehives in the mountains and on farms. They can rarely fix problems at an early stage. For these reasons, we devolved the SmartBee device.
It can record and transmit the hives’ data to monitor the health and production of colonies.
Using the collected data and specific Genetic Breeding Value modelling, we can select colonies with the best genetic strains for better resiliency and productivity in their local environment.

The result is broad spectrum impact in healthcare, agro, food processing and on demand water treatment. Humanity's greatest sanitation and hygiene challenges come from Africa - Hypoguard is creating a localised and high impact solution.

Kinimmune, Inc.
Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. Kinimmune is a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing quick-to-market intratumoral immunostimulants for unlocking the full potential of checkpoint inhibition in solid tumors. Kinimmune is the first Saudi American biotech company whose cancer therapy reached the clinical stages in the United States of America after obtaining the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to start the phase I clinical trial (NCT03982212). With extensive team experience in biotechnology between Saudi Arabia (King Abdulaziz University) and the United States (The University of Kansas), we’re working to harness the immune system's potential to fight cancer.


Labop
Logistics digital platform system that facilitate the request of the client in laboratory tests and services, throughout online request for the specific test and service. Labop will arrange the pick up and return the result back to the client with specific codes.


LivingCells Theraputics
Manufacturing of cellular immunotherapies; chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) CAR-T cell therapies; as medicinal tools to fight against cancer.


MBioSurTen
Biodegradable and environmentally friendly surfactants to replace chemical surfactants used for cleaning detergents and surface tension reducing agents.


NanoPalm
Develop a gene editing therapeutic nanorobot for patients with Sickle Cell Disease. It relies on artificial intelligence-enabled lipid nanoparticles called �Nanopalm�, which is being trialed at the National Guard Hospital, Riyadh, to perform a single base editing to erase SCD in a safer, affordable, and more efficient route.

Novai Ltd
Novai is a British biotechnology start-up, developing DARC (Detection of Apoptosing Retinal Cells), an approved exploratory biomarker by FDA, MHRA and TGA for use in Age-related Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma and other clinical studies. DARC combines an innovative patented biologic with a state-of-the-art AI algorithm and uses standard imaging equipment to identify cellular level disease activity. Novai intends to bring DARC to market as a diagnostic and therapy prognosis, as a first indication, with opportunities for novel expansion of DARC as a targeted drug delivery vehicle which can overcome biological barriers known to impede drug delivery to eye and brain.

OPTIMA-DX
OPTIMA-Dx is building next-generation Point-Of-Care and At-home diagnostics for viral and bacterial pathogens and genetic disease markers to improve human health.
More than half of the population lacks access to timely and accurate diagnostics. And existing molecular diagnostics infrastructure is limited to reliable but centralized products or point-of-care but unreliable products.
We solve this diagnostic gap. Powered by our proprietary CRISPR biotechnologies, our OPTIMA-Dx platform makes accurate, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, and affordable diagnostics tests accessible to people at the point-of-care or at-home.
We are a diverse team of experts spinning out from KAUST, and our vision is to advance healthcare accessibility through decentralizing precision diagnostics.
OPTIMA-Dx makes diagnostics accessible to everyone everywhere to improve human health and the quality of life.

Plansulin
Plansulin intends to disrupt the insulin market by developing cheaper insulin from transgenic plants. Previous experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of using transgenic plants to manufacture recombinant insulin at commercial scale. Global Human Insulin Market is estimated to be US$ 40 Billion and growing at a 7.6% CAGR. The demand for insulin looks set to rise. Led by increasing incidence of the disease, and oral delivery. Pilot MVP product will be ready by Q1 2023. Full-scale batches will then be produced prior to clinical trial production leading to product registration and approval by 2025, 100% manufactured in Saudi Arabia.

We aim to change the lives of millions of Arab patients yearly through improved personalised care.


Shomool
The landscape of genetic disease in Saudi Arabia specifically is known to be dominated by autosomal recessive disorders because of the highly consanguineous nature of this population. Additionally, it also has been shown that because of this population characteristic, there is a higher occurrence of recessive, typically homozygous, mutations causing genetic disease, we present a comprehensive approach for noninvasive prenatal screening applicable for autosomal recessive conditions (ShomoolTM), based on cffDNA next-generation sequencing.

SilicoLife
