New Tenants 2007/2008
Advanced VTOL Technologies
This enterprise has established its offices within Suite 6 of the Greenhill Enterprise Centre (GEC). David Howe, Director of Advanced VTOL Technologies, leads his enterprise in the pursuit of innovative business with the Australian Defence Force. The work relates to the development and enhancement of computer software that facilitates the landing of helicopters on ships at sea. Essentially the software is a decision support tool for helicopter pilots and other Defence personnel. Whilst David principally contracts with the ADF, he is also talking with other Defence organisations in other countries.
Uniti
The information technology arm of Ballarat District Nursing and Healthcare (BDNH), Uniti and Uniti Solutions, has signed a two year lease for Suite 6c of the Global Innovation Centre (GIC). BDNH has for some years designed, developed and marketed a community care client management system to regional health providers across Victoria. At the current time the software product is licensed to approximately 120 health care agencies.
Internet Commerce Security Laboratory
The School of Information Technology and Mathematical Sciences has leased Suites 1, 8 and 9, in connection with the operation of the Internet Commerce Security Laboratory. This exciting and innovative initiative has the backing and support of Westpac Banking Corporation, IBM and the State Government. The Laboratory will be charged with the responsibility for undertaking research and development in relation to cybercrime and cyber fraud. All work will be undertaken by a Research Director, supported by PhD students.
Recovre
In April 2008 Recovre located its offices within Suite 6 of the Greenhill Enterprise Centre (GEC). In the words of Jamie Bryce of Recovre, ‘We are a market leading organisation providing innovative, cost effective and outcome driven specialist solutions to help manage the health of workforces, businesses and injured persons throughout ustralia.’ Given the University’s strong research foci in the areas of injury prevention (Dr Caroline Finch) and OHS (VIOSH), there is significant potential for collaboration and cooperation between UB and Recovre.
