Ongoing trials will measure contaminants in rivers which connect with the Great Barrier Reef.
  • Technology Connections International in Kogarah, NSW to commercialise a digital pitch controller called Virtual Jeff for stringed instruments. This device replaces a mechanical whammy-bar used on guitars for over 60 years, improves musician ergonomics, reduces strain and has features impossible with mechanical devices. The aim is to achieve international sales as well as gain global recognition for Australian music technology innovation.
  • Traditional Business Online in Kurri Kurri, NSW to modify a world leading Virtual Supply Chain (VSC) solution called the One Touch VSC platform, for the specific needs of the retail butchery industry and to conduct a large scale pilot trial. One Touch VSC optimises the route and movement of a physical asset from the farmer or manufacturer to the business or consumer.

It will also enhance Australia’s reputation as a quality food exporter.
  • HiveHub in Melbourne, VIC to help commercialise and refine the features of a software mapping platform for global use across all organisations with complex software environments. This technology will allow any employee to understand software in a simplified and standardised format (similar to Google Maps, but for the virtual world). It will dramatically improve human understanding of the software “brain” that is today’s modern business.
  • Deakin University in Waurn Ponds, VIC to commercialise the Rapid Alloy Process, Innovation and Design (RAPID) and establish RAPID as a stand-alone commercial entity. RAPID will provide innovative and complex alloy solutions to the Aerospace, Automotive, Mining and Medical sectors.

  • Genics in Fig Tree Pocket, QLD to commercialise Avian MultiPath, a new highly multiplexed pathogen test for the poultry industry, and achieve major improvements in poultry production and animal well-being as well as reduce input costs. This innovative application of highly sensitive laboratory testing allows poultry producers to detect and manage diseases in flocks earlier and more cost effectively.
  • Laconik in Nedlands, WA to commercialise its new technology which combines data science and artificial intelligence to increase the profitability of grain farmers and reduce the harmful effects of excessive nitrogen fertiliser leaching into the environment. This technology quickly calculates nitrogen fertiliser rates for many small areas across the thousands of hectares of broadacre farms to optimise grain yield, using existing sources of information and with minimal cost.
