In 2020 the third cohort of the Net Zero Technology Centre’s TechX Accelerator was delivered fully online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This programme was a fantastic opportunity for 12 start-ups who were each given up to £100,000 of funding to support their growth.
Aberdeen based Puls8 (formerly Pulse-UK) secured a place on the program with their innovative Piping and Tubing identification tool which prevents Incidents, offers Time and Cost efficiencies and targets Emissions Reduction.
Their non-invasive solution is applicable across many industries including both Offshore and Onshore, Decommissioning, Nuclear, Refineries and CCU’s and can be used on many materials.
TechX offered extensive access for start-ups to major energy industry players operating around the North Sea, access for business model testing, customer validation, holistic mentorship and support to accelerate towards commercialisation.
The programme’s graduation ceremony took place remotely and saw Puls8 awarded the bp 2020 Technology Award as announced by Dushyant Sharma, bp Business Transformation Lead.
“Securing a place on the 2020 TechX cohort 3 programme from 170 applicants was a great achievement for us as we knew the competition was fierce given the technology we were up against. This gave us a great platform to validate our solution to what we know is a very real problem across multi-industry.
We are extremely grateful for the support shown by so many people within the Net Zero Technology Centre, key stakeholders across industry and our valued Mentors.
We are also very honoured that our vision for improving Safety and Digitising Data to help reduce Carbon Emissions has been comprehensively backed by bp and winning their 2020 Technology award is a testament to their commitment to making a sustainable difference to many industries.
We look forward to leveraging their expertise and resources to keep Net Zero 2050 on track for everyone.”- Bruce Harrold, Puls8 Co-Founder
