Calling all Australian innovators and inventors
Tuesday, 27 November, 2007
Entries are now being accepted for Innovic's Next Big Thing Award 2008.
This annual event is a nationwide competition to find, showcase and award Australian innovations — new ideas with the potential to become the "˜next big thing'.
An exhibition of the 21 finalists' innovations will be held at the Melbourne Museum between 14 May and 22 June 2008.
Accompanying activities will include a Young Entrepreneurs' Week to stimulate and encourage the next generation of innovative Australians.
Applications close on 14 March 2008
Previous Next Big Thing Award winners include V-Focus, a catheter system that delivers and "˜recycles' sensitive cardiac medication directly to the beating heart of a conscious patient; mHITs, a free SMS payment and e-wallet system; and ClinchA, a pneumatic device for tying concrete reinforcement bars together.
Winners receive over $50,000 in cash and prizes plus valuable media exposure.
