Our Values
FARMING
Helping farmers tackle food security with integrated information
Our Mission
Smartbell was conceived in a University of Cambridge Venture Week-end organised by Accelerate Cambridge. The idea was simple use the collective technological knowledge of it's co-founders to improve animal welfare, our connection with the environment and create a positive impact in the life of others. The first setting chosen for high level impact was dairy farming. The UK dairy industry is struggling and one of the issues that could have a deep impact is early detection of sickness in a Herd. For this smartbell was awarded first place at the 2015 IoT and Smart Cities Venture Creation weekend in Cambridge UK and was accepted on to the intensive Accelerate Cambridge entrepreneurship training programme.
