Kiwi start-up bowls the Australians over
Christchurch start-up company CertusBio, recently won the top prize at the AgriFutures TM evoke AG conference in Melbourne. Dr Matthew Jones’ winning concept is an automated technology, developed by Lincoln Agritech Ltd and commercialised by CertusBio, which reduces industrial food processing waste by 40 per cent.
Over 1200 international agritechnology specialists, entrepreneurs, agribusiness leaders and support agencies attended the ‘Food Farm Future’ conference, held in February. The conference featured global keynote speakers, panel discussions, and a start-up alley where new businesses could pitch their business ideas to win prize money.
Dr Jones, CEO of CertusBio, pitched his lead product, Milk-Guard, a lactose monitoring device. The device is used to measure the percentage of dairy products present in waste streams and processing lines. Using this technology, dairy plant operators can improve resource and energy efficiency of their plant processes by reducing losses of valuable dairy products and ultimately increasing company profitability. Competing against five other finalists from Israel, NZ and Australia, Dr Jones won the Investment Ready Pitch, securing the AUD$20k in prize money.
