ICC REPORT

I am delighted to present the first Annual Report since being officially

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 find 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 officially 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 first

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.

YEAR IN REVIEW

Our format of hosting short breakfast and evening

seminars is designed to fit in with the busy lifestyle of a

startup or small business, while also providing access to

our industry experts in order to achieve business growth,

and access to the latest research findings. During the

first year of operation a number of sessions were with an

average of attendance of 50 people per seminar.

By identifying knowledge gaps amongst startups and

small business, the ICC develops topics that are current,

relevant and then draws on resources from the Business

School to deliver those seminars to industry by UniSA’s

industry experts in those areas.

The ICC tracks and monitors the quality and delivery

of the innovation and growth seminars through the

collection of feedback forms.

Out target is to have satisfaction 65% or higher over

2016, and we achieved a 92% satisfaction rating.

On average, all event attendees are satisfied or extremely

satisfied with the topics presented and the speakers.

The ICC facilities are also acknowledged as suitable and

convenient for this type of event.

USING EXPERTS FROM THE BUSINESS SCHOOL, THE ICC DELIVERED A NUMBER OF INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURIAL SEMINARS TARGETING THE STARTUP AND SMALL BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

OUR RESIDENTS

“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 COMPANIESProviding 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

of 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.

With access to our regular events, mentors, training and our research,

business and commercialisation experts, the ICC is the perfect environment

to nurture and support a startup company.

VENTURE CATALYSTVenture Catalyst is an initiative of the South Australian

Government and UniSA encouraging student entrepreneurship

and the creation of local startups by providing $50,000 seed

funding for early-stage ventures founded by UniSA students

and recent graduates.

In the 2 years since the Venture Catalyst Fund was established

six startup companies have been funded which demonstrates

the successful connection between entrepreneurship,

education and industry. The ICC has played an important role

in supporting some of the Venture Catalyst Fund recipients,

providing access to mentors, advisors and office space to assist

them with their development.

Venture Catalyst was awarded the Best Entrepreneurial Support

Initiative and People’s Choice Award at the KCA Research

Commercialisation Awards held in Brisbane on 1 September

2016. Knowledge Commercialisation Australasia (KCA) is the

peak body leading best practice in industry engagement,

commercialisation and entrepreneurship for research

organisations.

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 artificial intelligence program would detect similar

images as multiple scenarios. This has enabled Jemsoft to

market their artificial 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 financial year, Jemsoft turned over

just under $1M in revenue and look to triple this over the

coming financial 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,

specifically designed for K-10 classrooms and supported

by a comprehensive 3D Printing Learning Program – it is

the first 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.
