Storage technologies feature in Oz Technology competition finalists

Smaller batteries with 50 per cent more storage, and local wave and solar energy technologies are among the finalists of the year’s Australian Technologies Competition (formerly the clean-tech competition).

The competition, which is in its 4th year and is a federal government initiative, announced the finalists which will now compete in front of a live audience and be subject to public voting to decide who will take the competition crown.

The finalists in the energy technologies section are battery technology developer Nano-Nouvelle, solar technology developer RayGen and Perth-based Carnegie Wave Energy.

Competition organiser John O’Brien says the ATC is on a mission to turn great technologies into great businesses, ‘We aim to find the best companies, provide them with the best mentoring possible and connect them with global partners. We want to help create multi-billion dollar global success stories.‘

No doubt this year’s finalists will be hoping they can do just that, as they battle to developed the best innovations that address the opportunities and challenges of the future including solutions for energy, food and water security.
