We continue to focus on backing exceptional founding teams using robotics, artificial intelligence and other automation technologies to tackle the major productivity crises the world is facing namely:


  1. Labour Crisis: How to grow despite global shrinking labour growth?
  2. Productivity Crisis: How to grow despite falling global productivity growth?
  3. Environmental Crisis: How to grow whilst decreasing reliance on carbon and negative environmental impact?
  4. Resources Crisis: How to grow whilst reducing the pressure on already stretched natural resources?

As global consumption levels continue to rise, these pressures are likely to intensify. We believe that companies providing solutions to these problems will be able to generate durable returns and favourable valuations.

We have been delighted to welcome 9 exciting new companies to the Britbots’ portfolio of 2021.

Covering a broad range of industry verticals spanning agriculture, chemistry, alternative energy and  transport, all our new companies are united by one constant: they are all developing radical, productivity maximising solutions to help their customers reduce costs and/or improve
performance.
