Speakers
Gregor Perich, Co-founder Terensis
Gregor did his PhD at ETHZ in agricultural sciences focusing on satellite-based estimation of crop yield and crop nutrition. During his PhD studies, he realized that his research know-how could have a tangible real-world impact on many stakeholders in the agrifood system. That’s why he’s founded Terensis in early 2024 together with his colleague, Lukas. Terensis develops a digital twin of agriculture to track field crops in real-time from sowing to harvest. With this technology, Terensis is on a mission to shape a data-based agrifood system to enable a more resource-efficient agriculture of tomorrow, ultimately feeding more people with less resources.
Kevin Yar, Co-Founder TrueYouOmics
Kevin, with roots in Biochemistry and Computational Life Sciences, honed his skills in crafting Deep Learning pipelines for Enzyme engineering and diving into hackathons during his Masters. Alongside Andrés at Biognosys, they focused on the human proteome as Data Scientists, uncovering the consumer potential of this tech. By late 2023, they teamed up with Dominic, driven to bring multi-omics directly to consumers in an accessible, accurate and affordable way, aiming to empower individuals and prevent diseases early on.
Moritz Pill, Co-Founder Borobotics GmbH
Moritz holds a M.Sc. degree in strategic entrepreneurship from Rotterdam School of Management and worked for several years in the startup funding space. In 2019, he co-founded his first start-up with BonAPI, a software development company with the aim of promoting sustainability and health in the culinary space. In 2023, he co-founded Borobotics, a spin-off from Zurich University of Applied Sciences developing an innovate bore robot designed for geothermal drilling in urban areas. Borobotics’ approach to drill design makes geothermal energy, the most efficient source of heating, cheaper, more accessible, and more environmentally friendly.
