UNREASONABLE IMPACT™ is a multi-year partnership between Barclays and Unreasonable Group, which launched the world’s first international network focused on scaling up entrepreneurial solutions that help employ thousands worldwide, while solving some of our most pressing societal challenges. Barclays and Unreasonable share a belief that high-growth entrepreneurs are well-placed to combat projected job loss from automation by creating the jobs of the future. They also believe that entrepreneurial solutions are best primed for scale when supported by a major corporation that is able to accelerate their growth. As such, the Unreasonable Impact programmes are carefully designed to support growth-stage ventures with advice and guidance from a global community of world-class mentors and industry specialists. Whilst Unreasonable Impact historically consisted of three intensive two-week programmes held annually in three distinct regions: the Americas, U.K. & Europe, and Asia Pacific, the global pandemic has resulted in a redesign of the offering to be entirely virtual. With the programmes now spanning several months, each virtual session has been meticulously and carefully curated to be equally impactful, engaging and beneficial. The virtual iteration of Unreasonable Impact UK & Europe programme marks the eleventh cohort of the Unreasonable Impact movement worldwide. Successive virtual programmes will be launched in Fall 2020 supporting ventures from the Americas and Asia Pacific, creating a global network centered around scaling impact entrepreneurs as job creators. Unreasonable Impact now consists of 132 ventures that collectively reach 226 million customers and support more than 81,500 jobs in more than 180 countries. To date, the companies have also raised over $3.2 billion USD in funding and generated over $2.9 billion USD in revenue.

KITRO enables the hospitality sector to better understand where operational inefficiencies lie, by using a hardware device and deep learning software to help restaurants reduce their waste. Commercial kitchens place their existing trash bins on top of a KITRO scale, above which an IoT device with a camera is mounted. KITRO’s device captures the time of disposal, weight of waste, and takes pictures of all the food thrown in the bin. The software analyzes this data and determines where excess food is being wasted. By providing customers with an overview of their food waste and suggestions on best practices, KITRO helps restaurants reduce avoidable food waste by up to 60%, increase their food profit margin by up to 8%, and reduce CO2 emissions, water consumption, and land usage. Naomi MacKenzie is the Co-Founder of KITRO, a company tackling food waste in the hospitality industry. While working in the food and beverage industry, both in kitchens and in service, Naomi witnessed the enormous amount of edible food being thrown away every day. This led her to commit herself to reducing avoidable food waste in this sector, launching KITRO, with co-founder Anastasia Hofmann.

Novihum Technologies has developed a revolutionary soil additive that fortifies soil against harmful effects and facilitates high agricultural yields. The company’s patented technological process modifies soft coal (lignite) to make it identical to stable humus, a key component of fertile soil. Initially developed in Dresden, Germany, the technology has since been refined in partnership with other elite research institutions. Tested in more than 280 single trials by third parties, the product increases yield from soil fertility by 50% or more. With only a single application, farmers can build an entire reservoir of soil humus. The result is healthier soil, higher yields, higher harvest quality, better resource efficiency, and plants with greater resilience to environmental stress.
Andre Moreira is the CEO of Novihum Technologies. After completing his Ph.D. and post-doc, he started his career at BASF in Germany spending over 13 years working in different regions and across multiple functions – both operative (product management, business development) as well as investment and innovation (BASF Venture Capital).
