Argenta’s 400+ global team develops and exports products and services to over 40 countries.

ARK Genomics Ltd (AGL) joined Roslin Innovation Centre soon after we opened and  occupied open-plan office space. 

The company promoted genomic research, bringing together commercial companies and academia, and provides access to cutting edge sequencing technologies for human and animal health working with their partner Edinburgh Genomics.  

AGL has since been embedded within Roslin Technologies, the commercialisation arm of The Roslin Institute and University of Edinburgh's Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies. 

CanCan Diagnostics technology is aimed at supporting treatment of cancer in dogs as a monitoring tool, or to support difficult diagnoses. 

Casta Spes Technologies build autonomous robots for perimeter surveillance providing accountable, accessible and affordable security 24/7, plugging the gap between static cameras and expensive manned patrols. 

Set up by young graduates, Selby Cary and Michael McDonald, the entrepreneurial company joined us in our open-plan office space. Following the launch of their robot guard, ZIVA, Casta Spes relocated to the Bayes Centre, an innovation hub for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.

ZIVA was designed using funding from pre-seed tech accelerator, Seed Haus, and Scottish Enterprise support. The vehicle operates across a range of terrains and sectors including agriculture, energy and construction. 

Deep Science Ventures brings together teams of scientists to seize crucial opportunities and redefine industries. 

The company was founded to create a better method for launching science companies, one that takes a systems level view of the opportunity from day one. New companies are formed of highly technical founder-type scientists recruited to build “holy grail” ventures with the potential to redesign entire sectors.

Deep Science Ventures and the Roslin Institute launched the Food & Agriculture Science Transformer (FAST), an ambitious programme creating the first venture studio in Scotland.

Duradiamond Software help to deliver a sustainable future for farming through product development. 

The innovative agritech company develop proprietary, farmer focused business and market intelligence solutions for domestic and international livestock markets, and bespoke software for third party companies. 

Roslin Innovation Centre provided office space to the iLivestock team, one of the company's core products, a mobile solution for livestock record keeping and performance monitoring. This also integrates with eWeigh, designed to capture weights of unique records and see live weight gains. 

Edinburgh Genomics is a world leading genomics and bioinformatics facility, within the University of Edinburgh, delivering high volume data and cutting-edge analyses to a large community of collaborators and customers across academia, government, and industry.

Edinburgh Genomics  is the first site in Scotland to deploy NovaSeq technology and the company has a portfolio of instruments specialised for high-throughput sequencing of human and non-human genomes, these include the HiSeq X system for large volume whole genome sequencing projects.

Roslin Innovation Centre welcomed the opportunity to provide hot desk facilities to members of the team providing collaboration opportunities on Easter Bush Campus.

Green Bioactives Ltd is an innovative start-up from the University of Edinburgh, utilising plants or next generation cultured plant cells to produce biomolecules and cell extracts for the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food and agricultural markets. 

Working with nature to create sustainable sources of plant biomolecules and extracts, the company was founded on the urgent requirement for a robust and sustainable source of plant natural bioactive molecules for a myriad of potential applications across a variety of industrial sectors.

We providing office space to Green Bioactives for the company to nurture its growth and they have now relocated to the neighbouring Pentlands Science Park.

Greengage Agritech Ltd originally joined Roslin Innovation Centre during the development phase in 'pop up incubator' space in 2015 and expanded this with an extra unit in 2016, before moving in to the new building.

Greengage delivers LED agricultural lighting, sensors and control systems for improved farming environments for poultry, pigs and cattle. 

The company is a leading global manufacturer of "ALIS" an LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting and induction power system.

LTS International booked in to our 'Research Hotel' for a ten week period during development of their facilities at the nearby Pentlands Science Park.

LTS is a consultancy and project management firm with 45 years of global experience in tackling complex facets of climate change, forestry, water resources, ecosystems and institutional governance.

In 2018, LTS merged with NIRAS Group as part of their Development Consulting division and is now a part of a network with 27 offices globally.  

N2 Applied Ltd is headquartered in Oslo and took additional office space at Roslin Innovation Centre to progress the commercialisation of their technology in the UK market.

The company aims to fundamentally improve global food production by enabling livestock farmers to produce their own fertiliser from manure, air and renewable energy. The technology produces an environmental-friendly nitrogen fertiliser with significantly reduced ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions, improved resource efficiency and reduced costs for the farmer,

Today’s fertiliser value chain is costly and harmful to the environment. N2 Applied’s technology disrupts this chain, changing it from a linear to a circular model.

Pulcea Ltd is a company focused on improving animal welfare and sustainability within the aquaculture industry. This is primarily achieved by their ability to harness marine physics in a manner capable of delivering unique technical innovations into this rapidly developing sector of the food production industry. 

Collaborating with both commercial and academic partners, including Stirling University's Institute of Aquaculture, Pulcea’s team are currently investigating the optimisation of fish health interventions, both medicinal and mechanical. Areas of interest include sea-lice & Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD), Water Quality Management, Vaccination, Saprolegnia and Seal Deterrence. 

We wish Pulcea continued success on their journey to delivering solutions to fish welfare challenges in the farmed salmon industry.

Members of the Tropical Animal Genetics Ltd (TAG) team utilised open-plan office space at Roslin Innovation Centre. 

TAG has expertise to meet the growing needs for superior genetics for farmers and breeders through provision of industry-leading reproductive technologies. 

On-going research and applied science allows TAG to develop and implement new technologies that will help move the science of tropical animal genetic improvement forward.

Vetsina Animal Diagnostics Ltd was a joint venture between Roslin Technologies and Destina Genomics.

The company was established to maximise the impact of a revolutionary chemical-based system for detecting nucleic acids and single nucleotide polymorphisms, for the development of simple, fast, accurate & cost-effective products for PCR-free detection of miRNAs for animal health and veterinary use.
