Fiona Edwards Murphy, co-founder and CEO of ApisProtect, shares her story on channeling her technology expertise into a passion for helping beekeepers, her transition from academia into the life of a startup founder, raising ApisProtect’s first round, building a customer base looking after 20mn bees…and playing the bagpipes! MoneyNeverSleeps is sponsored by PAT Fintech, the training partner that demystifies fintech and digital finance for financial services professionals. ApisProtect is an Irish tech startup using unique, innovative bee monitoring technology to help beekeepers prevent losses and increase productivity in their hives. Just this week, Fiona was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list for 2021. HIGHLIGHTS: On Fiona’s attraction to IoT: “I really just fell in love with using sensors in the real world to achieve meaningful things. You're taking all of these concepts that you've learned about to get those sensors out to the real world, give people information that they don't have already and get meaningful results.” On the early days of identifying the problem to solve: “Beekeeping works almost the same way as it did back in the middle ages. Before our technology, the last big advancement in beekeeping technology was the invention of the forklift.” On the business impact for commercial farming: “If you want to really level up your operation, if you want to dramatically increase the revenue from your farm without having to increase the size or change the crops that you're growing, you're talking about getting your crops to be more effectively pollinated.” On Fiona’s transition from academia to startup life: “You have to be really passionate to do a PhD, and you have to be really passionate to be an entrepreneur.” On the importance of timing for a startup: “It was a combination of a very good product, a very good opportunity, and being the right team to go after it as we had been working in the area since the very early days of bee monitoring technology being a concept. We were in the right place at the right time with the right skill set and it all just came together really well.” On the never-stop-learning realities of a startup CEO: “I often say I learn more in any single six-month period at ApisProtect than I did in eight years at university. That's the nature of the job. You have to understand everything that's going on because at the end of the day, you're responsible for everything.” Episode title inspired by Wings by Little Simz Leave a review and subscribe on Podchaser | Apple Podcasts | Spotify| Google| Overcast Check out our MoneyNeverSleeps website Subscribe to our newsletter on Substack Follow us on Twitter Podcast| Twitter Pete | Twitter Eoin Get in touch at info@moneyneversleeps.ie --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/moneyneversleeps/support

We discussed what colony collapse disorder is and why helping prevent is so important, the impact bees have on food and agriculture, the importance of getting a startup’s technology team in front of users (even if it means bee stings!), the state of sensor and data science technology today, building a company in Ireland and much more!https://carbotnic.com/apisprotect Download Podcast Here: https://plinkhq.com/i/1518148418 #startup #cleantech

In this episode of VistaTalks, we celebrate 'World Bee Day' with Dr. Fiona Edwards Murphy, CEO, and Co-founder of ApisProtect. Now monitoring the health of over twenty million honey bees in hives across Europe and North America, ApisProtect brings the power of advanced sensors and machine learning technology into the hive to deliver a 24/7 early warning system so beekeepers can give at-risk hives immediate attention and improve bee health. Nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend, entirely, or at least in part, on animal pollination, along with more than 75% of the world’s food crops and 35% of global agricultural land.

We recently talked with the good folks at ApisProtect, a technology company located in Cork, Ireland and Salinas, CA. Dr. Fiona Edwards Murphy and Dr. Whelan Padraig are the engineers and beekeepers whose ideas and hard work have made this possible. At a high level, ApisProtect technology collects hive data using their sensor is monitored and analyzed remotely using artificial intelligence. Captured data includes temperature, humidity, sound, CO2 and hive movement. They have been developing this for just over 3 years and are ready to go commercial this summer. Find out how their device works, what information it provides, and how you and your bees can benefit. The Internet of Things continues to expand. Listen and share this episode today!

When this curious mind, this lover of Pokemon and fantasy novels chose to study engineering in college it led her on a fascinating path. Working with wireless sensor networks for her PhD in UCC, Fiona Edwards Murphy wanted to see how sensors could be used to monitor the health of bee hives. It turns out that her work could solve a huge problem, which is a serious threat to one third of the world's food supply. Dr. Fiona Edwards Murphy is now the CEO of her company ApisProtect, which has just announced a unique partnership with Inmarsat, the giant satellite communications company. This partnership will allow the global roll-out of the sensor technology, which will revolutionise the performance of bee hives and help to protect our food supply. Enjoy the show!

Ireland has long valued the hive and the honey bee, as evidenced in the Bechbretha or ‘Bee Judgements’ texts, recorded under ancient Irish law or Brehon law, dating back to circa 6th century. Today, a new Irish tech start-up, is seeking to write a new page in history, in terms of food security within a global industry, responsible for providing 1/3rd of the food consumed in the world. ApisProtect, a start-up co-founded by CEO, Fiona Edwards Murphy, a Cork-based electronics engineer, focused on the growing global problem of the stressed honey bee population. Her goal is to provide an IoT - bee monitoring service, utilising the latest sensor technology and machine learning, to help beekeepers reduce losses and increase productivity in their hives. In this episode, ApisProtect Chair and co-founder, Andrew Wood recounts the story behind this innovative idea and the journey of discovery into the secret lives of bees.

Dr. Pádraig Whelan of ApisProtect—an Irish company that recently opened its first U.S. office at the Western Growers Center for Innovation & Technology — explains how this agtech startup uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to help beekeepers manage colonies more effectively. He explains how ApisProtect places the power of advanced sensors and machine learning technology into the hive to deliver a 24/7 early warning system so beekeepers can give at-risk hives immediate attention and improve bee health. :::this episode was sponsored by Novihum Technologies::: © 2019 Western Growers
