AskVet is the leading AI and data-driven technology company in animal health. We use AI and our proprietary companion animal and livestock data to build highly intelligent veterinary agents that will join the workforce – enhancing engagement, improving efficiency, and supporting revenue growth for animal health organizations.
In 2023, AskVet introduced VERA (Veterinary Engagement & Relationship Agent), the world’s only AI veterinarian. VERA is trained on over 2.5 million recorded conversations between veterinarians and animal owners, curricula from six veterinary colleges, and more than 180 curated medical, nutritional, and behavioral data sets. She currently converses in 50 languages.
As a customizable conversational AI, VERA powers medical triage, operational support, customer acquisition, sales, retention, and back-end automation – making her an invaluable asset across the animal health ecosystem.
Demand in the US for animal health care for both companion animals and food production animals is outpacing supply of qualified veterinarians and technicians. The US animal health industry needs to use data and AI to augment and expand the available supply of human veterinary expertise to close the supply and demand gap. And the problem is much worse if you look at the global growth of companion and food production animals. AskVet has created a suite of data/AI products on the VERA platform where companion and food animal businesses can use their propriety data and VERA’s veterinary expertise to create differentiation and competitive advantage.

Bioceltix
Website: https://bioceltix.com/en/
Bioceltix is a Poland-based and internationally oriented biotechnological company developing innovative, both stem cells and secretome based products, for companion animals. Our flagship technology for manufacturing biopharmaceuticals for veterinary use utilizes the therapeutic potential of allogeneic stem cells (one donor – many recipients). Owning a GMP production facility, we provide single technology for several species, diseases, and routes of administration. Our cutting-edge approach will allow the product to be batch-produced and ready for off-the-shelf sale. The veterinary medicines, based on the immunomodulatory mechanism of action of MSC, will be an alternative to the symptomatic pharmacotherapy focused mainly on alleviating pain and inflammation. Our goal is to create analgesic and anti-inflammatory biopharmaceuticals that will induce the natural mechanisms of regenerating tissues affected by the disease. In our pipeline we have products intended for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and osteoarthritis in dogs and of arthritis in horses – all in the advanced development stage. Bioceltix expects the first drug registration for osteoarthritis in dogs in 2025 as the registration procedure in the European Medicines Agency has been launched. We are led by the motto: More than animals, more than technology.
