DASA showcases tomorrow's technology today

Top innovators pitched their businesses and novel technological ideas to investors at an event by the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA).

More than 45 investors attended the virtual Investment Showcase earlier this month with 14 companies presenting their innovative business opportunities and associated technologies that have the potential to offer better performance and increased capability for defence and national security – as well as offering multiple uses across other sectors.

The companies were split by technology area, to allow investors to easily identify those sessions of particular interest.

The innovations on display ranged from different software that tackles fake news and reduces harmful content to innocent audiences; a medical point of care innovation that provides a diagnostic answer in ten minutes on a patient’s need for antibiotics; to drone software that could transform the signal denied autonomy aspect of the drone market; and others.

Categories showcased were:

An invited audience of investors saw each company present their business opportunity and growth plans.
