Enaxiom is a climate technology company developing next-generation cooling and water management infrastructure for the AI and data centre industry. As demand for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing accelerates, data centres face growing challenges around energy consumption, water use, and heat management. Enaxiom’s technology is designed to address these challenges by enabling more efficient, sustainable cooling systems that support the next generation of digital infrastructure. Our flagship system, HydroCool, reduces cooling energy requirements, enables the use of non-potable water sources, and unlocks opportunities for heat recovery and circular energy use. By rethinking how heat is rejected and reused, Enaxiom aims to help build a future where the world’s digital infrastructure can scale without placing unsustainable pressure on energy and water systems. We work with data centre operators, engineers, infrastructure developers, and sustainability leaders to accelerate the transition toward energy-efficient, water-smart AI infrastructure.

Swiftio is rethinking aged care coordination from the ground up. Behind every late consult, missed visit, or nurse chasing calls is a system that was never built for the speed or complexity of modern care. Swiftio changes that. Our platform empowers frontline age care staff to request, track, and close the loop on clinical visits in real time. No paper, no guesswork, no one falling through the cracks. Its already streamlining clinician workflows, connecting facilities and service providers with just a few taps, and generating meaningful impact from day one. Swiftio is laying the foundation for a broader care infrastructure, one that’s multidisciplinary, AI-powered, and adaptive to different clinical settings. We are building agentic AI solutions to automate the administrative backbone of care - from billing and reimbursements to task flow, and predictive AI tools that optimise workforce supply, and improve coordination during demand surges. With growing interest from markets facing similar aged care challenges. We see Swiftio as a globally relevant platform, capable of reshaping how care is delivered wherever complexity and coordination intersect. We’re setting a new standard: swift, seamless, seen.
