ICC REPORT

I am delighted to present the fjrst Annual Report since being offjcially appointed to the role of Manager, Innovation & Collaboration Centre (ICC) in May 2016. It is an exciting time to be involved with innovation, entrepreneurship and supporting business growth, particularly with the announcement of the National Innovation Science Agenda and the South Australian Government’s announcement of a new $10M commercialisation fund. We have welcomed the opportunity to work with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to fjnd innovative solutions that leverage the digital disruption occurring across a number of industries as a way to create new jobs, nurture creative talent and strengthen South Australia’s unique and diverse entrepreneurial ecosystem. Looking back over the past year, the ICC has evolved and transformed from an idea, to a busy centre of activity, working with new companies and welcoming new residents. While the ICC was offjcially launched in November 2015, our University service providers including matchstudio, the Centre for Business Growth, UniSA Ventures and the Partner Engagement Team moved in over the course of 2015 along with our fjrst startup residents, Makers Empire, Jemsoft, myEvidence and Vinnovate. In mid-October 2015, I was appointed as the interim Manager to help coordinate and drive the setup and operations of the Centre. With a focus on supporting the ideation of new ideas, the incubation of startups, the growth of small to medium businesses and engagement with industry, the ICC has embedded these values into all activities conducted through the Centre. Our Innovation and Growth Seminar Series kicked off in April and has since delivered 3 seminars and 3 workshops targeted at small to medium enterprises. Over the last year, the ICC has facilitated, supported, and driven a number of entrepreneurial and external engagement activities. As a result the ICC is already gaining a reputation as a place to engage and collaborate, to explore new ideas for business, supporting SME innovation and providing a pipeline to commercialisation opportunities. I’m excited about the next stage of development and growth and eager to work together with our stakeholders, the South Australian State Government and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, to continue to engage and help foster the ICC as a Centre of collaboration, idea generation and growth. Jasmine Vreugdenburg Manager, Innovation & Collaboration Centre

“Venture Catalyst allowed us to register a patent and do so some market research. It also gave us access to mentors and networks. The $50K was important, but to this day we still use the intangible value we pulled out of the program” Jordan Green, Co-Founder Jemsoft

STARTUP COMPANIES

Providing the space, facilities and networks to incubate a good idea is vital for the successful outcome of some of our startup companies who have joined the Innovation & Collaboration Centre over the past year. Since its inception the ICC has supported the growth and in some instances the exit

  • f a total of 12 companies and supported the creation of around 46 new jobs.

The ICC’s unique environment enables startup founders to collaborate, learn and develop their business in a professional and supportive environment.

13 OUR GRADUATES

Jemsoft Co. When Jordan Green found himself with a sawn off shotgun held to his head during an armed hold up while working his regular shift at the liquor store, he didn’t

  • panic. He acted as he normally would when confronted

with a problem; he analysed. A computer science student at UniSA, Jordan calculated the risk involved in the situation before questioning why two balaclava clad men holding a shotgun can walk directly through an automated door that can be controlled by computer vision software installed in the security cameras. Jordan Green, then teamed up with his classmate, Emily Rich, and founded their computer vision company, Jemsoft, in 2013. After receiving $50k in Venture Catalyst seed funding and coworking space in the Innovation & Collaboration Centre, Jordan and Emily set about improving the technology and developed a prototype that could scan photos and videos to an incredible degree of accuracy. However, with little capital to pay staff to analyse the million-plus video and image samples, Jordan pulled an all-night coding session to build software that would allow cheaper labour in India to do it. “That’s when I realised what I had built and it changed not only the computer vision industry but arguably almost any industry for good,” says Jordan. The software allows any non-technical user to draw a box around an image, upload it to the cloud where an artifjcial intelligence program would detect similar images as multiple scenarios. This has enabled Jemsoft to market their artifjcial intelligence products for enterprise, industrial and domestic use. Following the commercialisation of their technology in late 2015, Jemsoft grew from a company of two co founders and an Advisory Board of 2, to 10 full time staff and regular contractors, resulting in their graduation from the ICC. In the last fjnancial year, Jemsoft turned over just under $1M in revenue and look to triple this over the coming fjnancial year. Makers Empire Makers Empire help educators effectively incorporate 3D design and printing into school curriculum and achieve authentic teaching and learning outcomes. They have created the world’s easiest to use 3D printing software, specifjcally designed for K-10 classrooms and supported by a comprehensive 3D Printing Learning Program – it is the fjrst of its kind anywhere in the world. Jon Soong, Rhys and the team spent over 12 months in the ICC developing their core offering and were supported through the residents of the ICC. Following rapid expansion of their business, they graduated and moved to the St Paul’s Creative Centre to continue to grow their business working alongside complimentary 3D printing equipment. Myriota As a new UniSA Ventures spin-outcompany, Myriota was initially based in the ICC from its launch. Based on technology created by former UniSA research leaders, Professor Alex Grant and Dave Hayley, the company has developed technologies for high volume low cost communications with remote sensors using low orbit satellites that have application across many industry

  • sectors. At the time of incorporation Myriota signed a

large commercial deal with an international company in late 2015 which supported the rapid growth of the business and staff numbers. Myriota now has their own premises in Chesser Street, Adelaide.

myEvidence myEvidence is a mobile investigations platform which allows investigators to seamlessly gather digital evidence using a secure platform and package it for consumption by relevant justice agencies. Police offjcers Tung Tran and Jerome Lienert developed the myEvidence software which incorporates external hardware to capture 3D environments enabling investigators to build an immersive electronic court brief that can be shared with prosecutors, solicitors and presented before judicial offjcers with maximum impact. Testing of the product has commenced and feedback so far has been very positive.

While working in the ICC, the team were encouraged to look at other applications for their technology and have since partnered with the University of South Australia to explore options using their technology for providing clean drinking water in remote areas, as well as response mechanisms in the wake of natural and man-made disasters. OVAE John Kellett and Robbie Ortcliff are the founders of Super Soft Natural Fibres who are focused on revitalizing the successful wool industry in Australia through the development of luxury wool products – with a technology twist - under the brand OVAE.

PARTNERSHIPS

SECURING PARTNERSHIPS WITH KEY ORGANISATIONS HAS BEEN A FOCUS SINCE THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF THE ICC IN NOVEMBER 2015.
