Welcoming the Newest Cohort to vHive Incubator

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our third cohort at the vHive Incubator, a pioneering initiative in animal health innovation, proudly funded by Zoetis.

2. IQ Sense: This company is at the forefront of developing quantum sensors that provide real-time health diagnostics for animals, ensuring timely and effective interventions.
3. Fluoretiq: Known for their rapid diagnostic tools, Fluoretiq is revolutionising the way we detect and manage animal diseases, making diagnostics faster and more accurate.
4. Testblu: Focused on creating oncology diagnostic tests for a range of canine cancers, Testblu is making it easier for vets to successfully treat dogs with cancer through earlier diagnoses.
5. Dyneval: With their innovative approach to semen analysis, Dyneval is improving breeding success rates and genetic quality in livestock, contributing to more sustainable farming practices.

We are excited to support these companies as they embark on their journey with us.

We believe that their innovative solutions will make significant contributions to the field of animal health and welfare.
