Business fraud is growing and is currently a multi Trillion dollar problem and has become a global
attack. It is a virus (cancer), but we still manage it the same way we have for 1,000’s of years using
procedures and consultants. Why don’t we apply the same rules we use for real time capture of
computer virus’s using data and the connected world to stop this. We can go about this now as we
are now placing more business data in the cloud. By linking this global network of information with
public information, can then remove this growing cancer that is destroying business’s. We will start
with accessing Xero’s network of 1.3M SMB’s, match their data, track all changes, benchmark and
cross check data with a focus on external fraud attacks to start with. We do this by capturing data
changes and checking if they are valid against external sources who care and have no influence over
like their customers and suppliers. We will grow stronger as more business data is captured and
interconnected with new AI capabilities coming on-line.

Sahil Harriram, Elite Robotics
eliterobotics.tech


Elite Robotics are a Newcastle (Australia) based startup developing autonomous vehicle platforms
that give vehicles human-like instincts. The aim of our technology platform is to be utilised within
electric service robots that will maintain tomorrows cities (maintenance, cleaning, package delivery,
solid waste management, infrastructure inspection etc.). We are starting with autonomous
lawnmowers and are aiming to move into more complex environments as our technology matures.
Our core navigation tech relies on work done in our Technical Advisers PhD. He has developed a
efficient and accurate way of tracking objects in a vehicles environment without machine learning.
The advantage of this is that we don't need to train our system for new environments, reducing cost
of development and increasing speed to market.


Antony Martin, Hone
honeag.com


We build mobile devices and powerful software that put lab results in your hand, in an instant. Using
our platform, tests traditionally performed in wet laboratories can now be performed with a simple
scan from one of our devices. The platform currently services agronomists and farmers for soil, crop
and grain testing. By allowing instant in-field testing Hone is transforming the way farming is done by
providing the knowledge a farmer needs to make decisions before the weather changes. Traditional
labs take 2-3 weeks to provide results and the cost is often prohibitive. We also have a SaaS product
that turns scientists into developers allowing labs to create their own testing applications from
agricultural, to medical, to water testing (and many more). This works a little like the app store on
smart phones. Developers can make a business out of our platform by commercialising a new testing
application forms the supply side of our marketplace and a similar story can be told for medical
testing, water testing, geological testing and any other field. Knowledge now is very different to
knowledge later.

choice for a first product. Our core IP is the result of our founders' PhD research.
