Benign

The world's first fully autonomous virtual engineers

Industry: #ai #deeptech #sustainability

HQ: UAE

  • Benign develops a new generation of autonomous AI workers to fully automate and massively accelerate research and engineering, starting with software engineering. Our technology is based on years of foundational algorithmic research. It fully replaces the dominant current-gen family of algorithms, deep learning, with an exponentially more efficient foundation modeled on a modern theory of animal learning. This yields AI capable of independently conducting complex work, without human supervision, and with a fraction of the hardware and energy requirements of deep learning.

    Put very simply, we will deploy autonomous AI workers that dwarf competing products in capabilities and speed, while being substantially cheaper to operate and easier to scale, and we will get to this point in a highly capital-efficient way.

Everybody Creates (EC) wants to encourage creative freedom within the classroom

Industry: #Creativity #Empoweringteachers #Engagement

HQ: Sheffield, UK

  • Everybody Creates belief is that creativity is essential at an early age and that all children are great creators. The business focusses on the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 and 2. where we set out the expected learning and progress in art and design, which all primary age students can achieve. 

    Everybody Creates will assist primary school teachers with a wide choice of high quality, easy to follow classes, available to download and use within their classrooms. These resources will dovetail and enhance their planned curriculums. Each class is designed to ensure teachers feel confident in teaching art.

    Students should have access and space within a school to create at an early age and feel confident and excited in their art classes. Art and encouraging creativity should be treated as a core subject that develops many other areas of a child's education.

    The classes are reinforced with teaching plans that give clear lesson objectives and outcomes supported by a wide variety of resources including PowerPoints, handouts, and online tutorials. 

    Materials are age appropriate and promote students' abilities to listen, talk and communicate their understanding and knowledge of art. Creativity matters.
