2024 Challenge

Our idea is to create a product that helps improve mental health, cognitive functions and sleeping patterns while also providing a source of comfort and support for people suffering from panic-disorders, anxiety and neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and ASD.
To address this problem, a weighted teddy bear with features designed specifically for those with identifed conditions are supported by deep-pressure touch, aroma therapy and colour therapy.

My idea is to create smart, AI enabled safety glasses that reduce injuries in the work and training environments.
The problem this GI venture addresses is the lack of knowledge or attention whilst operating machinery.
To address this problem, the venture will create smart safety glasses with an embedded camera and head-up-display. The device will scan the environment, identify dangerous scenarios and display safety information to the user.

My idea is to bring back dignity to hospital patients one zip at a time.
The problem this GI venture seeks to address is the difficulty putting on underwear when the patients’ lower limbs are injured or immobile post-surgery.
To address this problem, this venture will create functional undies where a zipper on one or both sides allows easy dressing.

My idea is a wristband that helps to share medical and/or contact information of vulnerable people cannot communicate themselves.
The problem this GI venture is the time taken for first responders to obtain information from people unable to communicate themselves.
To address this problem, this venture will develop a wristband containing wearable technology/information that can be scanned, quickly and easily, enabling the information to be shared with parents, guardians, carers, etc.

Our idea is to sell performance based grip socks to atheletes and neurodivergent and physically challenged individuals.
The problem this GI venture seeks to address is the potential injuries and falls caused by in-shoe movement and poor stability and balance.
The venture addresses this problem by offering performance grip-socks that, through their rubber in-soles, decrease in-shoe and increase stability. These socks will allow customers to express themselves in unique ways through funky designs and colours.

My idea is to create a bike that generates and stores renewable energy whilst moving. The problem this venture seeks to address is power poverty. People in developing or conflict affected nations don’t have access to reliable energy resources. This negatively impacts their ability to learn, feel safe and fuction at night. To address this problem, this venture will create a product that harnesses pedalling and movement to generate storable energy. In addition, stationary under-desk exercise bikes will be developed and sold to raise funds to enable overseas distribution.

My idea is to improve safety awareness, confidence and capabilities of teen eBike and eScooter riders.
The problem this GI venture seeks to address is the increasing rate of injury, fatalities and damage due to the lack of skills, awareness and confidence of teen eBike and eScooter riders.
To address this problem, this venture will fill an identified gap in the market, providing safety education, practical skills training and maintenance tips empowering teens to ride with confidence and be role models of safety.

My idea is to create a fidget pen tailored to those with neurological conditions.
The problem this GI venture seeks to address is the inability to focus at school or work.
To address this problem, this venture will develop a product that provides a subtle, quiet fidget tailored to the users’ intricacies.
