BigSis
BigSis is a British agri-tech company revolutionizing insect control with its proprietary Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) platform. Their business model focuses on delivering cost-effective, chemical-free, and species-specific insect control solutions on a per-hectare per-year service basis, often through distributors. BigSis differentiates itself by using AI and robotics to automate the production of sterile male insects, cutting SIT costs by up to 90% and making it scalable and practical for farmers. Their first solution targets spotted wing drosophila (SWD) in high-value soft fruits, achieving up to 91% suppression in field trials, and they have a codling moth solution in development.
