As technology continues to thrive and more revolutionary opportunities are coming to the surface, new technology start-ups are introduced to further progress technological capabilities. Many of these companies are doing great work and are trying to gain more exposure to grow and advance.

Today, I will be plugging 5 tech start-ups that are making waves in the technology world. From brain health research to non-invasive neurostimulation products, these 5 start-ups are keen to be the next unicorn.

Machine Eye

Machine Eye has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) safety system for tractors, plants and heavy machinery that recognises human behaviour and movement around the machine and takes control of the machine to pre-emptively isolate or halt the machine to prevent accidental contact of by-standers with the machine. Brendan Digney is the force behind this start up, which he states started out as a research project by a group of electrical and electronic engineers in Queen’s University Belfast.
