Founded in 2017 by Chris Thompson and Dan Adams, Amber gives customers dynamic power prices that change depending on the real wholesale value of energy. Customers can pay less by charging your battery when energy is greener and cheaper as well as earn more by exporting when prices increase. Combined with Ambers smart tech, solar and battery owners have the power to supercharge their savings, take control of their battery and make their energy work harder for them. Amber is backed by some of Australia’s best accelerators and investors, including EnergyLab (Australia’s leading energy accelerator) and Startmate (Australia’s leading tech accelerator). Investors include Blackbird, Square Peg, Main Sequence, Commonwealth Bank and Black Sheep Capital. The company has won Startup Vic’s Impact Pitch Night, for the best startup focused on making a positive social impact and been named Victorian Start-up of the Year.

Harvest B is a food technology business that develops protein solutions. We think alternative protein sources have a role to play in our economy, complementing animal proteins, to drive towards a more sustainable food system. But that alone is not enough; we want to make it easier and more affordable for everyone to make great tasting and healthy food, everyday.

Goterra is autonomous food waste management infrastructure: clean organics from processing, kitchen waste and other pre-consumer waste streams, all the way to post-consumer restaurant and household food waste. We support both waste collection providers, collecting on behalf of their clients, as well as independent businesses seeking to recycle their food wastes. Our technology is about integrating with existing systems to create enduring solutions. That’s a core part of who we are.

Empowering renewables through thermal energy storage. MGA Thermal’s mission is to revolutionise the world’s renewable energy systems by developing novel materials, designing innovative technologies and delivering thermal energy storage solutions. Our core technology is a newly invented type of thermal storage material, Miscibility Gap Alloys (MGA). These alloys can store a huge amount of energy as heat, in a safe and easy to use way. In our storage solutions, modular blocks of MGA are stacked into insulated storage tanks, which can store energy for use in a range of applications – improving the electrical grid’s stability, residential and commercial space heating, industrial process/waste heat, and even electric vehicles. Our first focus though, is enabling intermittent renewable energy sources such as the sun and wind, to provide base load electricity to the grid. Modular blocks of MGA are able to be stacked and scaled into thermal energy storage systems - storing hundreds to millions of kilowatt hours of energy.
