Technology awards winners announced


Thursday, 13 October, 2016

The Australian Technologies Competition (ATC) recognises Australia's best technology companies and offers a bespoke accelerator program, whereby it assesses, mentors, profiles and promotes innovative and emerging technologies seen as having the greatest global potential.

The ATC 16 Cleantech winners have been announced after facing a panel of judges at the recent All Energy Conference in Melbourne.

The New Energy Award Winner is Wattwatchers, a Sydney-based company that has developed an ultracompact auditor series of internet appliances that deliver accurate, real-time energy management over the internet, independent of billing metres and equipment monitoring systems.

The Smart Cities Award Winner is Independent Products, a Melbourne-based firm that uses wastewater created by air-conditioning systems to improve energy efficiency by up to 40%. It can be retrofitted to most split system AC and refrigeration units.

Both winners were applauded for their world-leading Australian inventions and for combining strong commercial acumen with solid international expansion strategies.

The winners go on to compete in the national finals in Sydney on 2 November against technologies from other sectors. The day will feature the unique ATC Investor Connect speed dating, ‘Dragon’s Den’ style ‘Fast Pitching’ and a gala awards dinner at which the prestigious Australian Technology Company of the Year will be announced.
