In what has become one of the largest foreign company promotions held annually in the US, eight Australian companies will visit Silicon Valley in January for a chance to show off their products to American investors and win a prize package to assist in a US product launch. The Innovation Shoot Out is part of the G’Day USA program, an 11-day event that occurs in several major US cities and brings the best of Australian fashion, wine, art, tourism and business in front of US investors and customers.
This year the innovations from the eight companies selected include denial of service attack protection, smart camera technology, supply chain management technology and more. From New South Wales Digisensory and Solar Gem have been selected, from South Austalia PowerHealth Solutions and Zarloc, from Queensland MultiTrode and Synengco and from Victoria Intelliguard and Mid-Corp International.
Although the G’Day USA program spans across several Aussie exports, technology and innovation has several events, the Shootout included, that target technology. Some of the others include a clean tech networking event in San Diego and a business forum in New York for Clean Tech businesses to get face to face with NY investors.
Some of the past Innovation Shoot Out attendees Nuix, Adelaide-based mobile marketing company m.Net Corporation, hearing protection company Sensear based in Western Australia, Tasmanian software company JadeLiquid Software, medical testing company ImpediMed, Melbourne gaming company E Ball Games and colour visualisation company Autech. You can watch video interviews with Nuix and m.Net below.
