Accenture Labs

Accenture is honored to be recognized on Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas 2024 list for self-drilling seed carriers for aerial seeding. The innovation relieves agricultural and environmental issues, improves soil quality and restores wildlands. Working alongside our partners at Carnegie Mellon University, Syracuse University, University of Pennsylvania and Zhejiang University, the team engineered a biodegradable seed carrier that enables aerial seeding of difficult-to-access areas.
