“There were not only top-quality finalists for the AI for Good category of the Super Connect for Good competition this year but also really exciting ones. The winner of the category, Nosy, is no exception. Their application was top-class in terms of what they have achieved and what they hope to achieve. Their product
also has the potential to change the lives of so many people worldwide. We think about how clean the water we drink is but seldom about the air we breathe in and Be Nosy is going to change that. Well done to a
deserved winner!”

Philip Marais, Global Startup Program Leader, OVHcloud Startup Program

“The NIHR Surgical MedTech Cooperative (Surgical MIC) is delighted to support this initiative, which highlights the need for technologies that improve outcomes and quality of life for patients and the general public. We judged the MedTech stream and our role was to assess the merits of the technology, how inclusive the technology was (in terms of whether it could be used by most demographic groups) and the likelihood of adoption which relies on the clinical
unmet need. The quality of applications was high, and we will definitely see some of these technologies in circulation and making a difference to people’s lives”.

Vee Mapunde, Programme Director, NIHR Surgical MedTech Co-operative
