Technology: Shaping Australia’s Future

Technology is changing the way we live, work, and connect and this category of the Kickstarter Challenge is all about celebrating the entrepreneurs using technology not just for convenience, but for real impact: boosting economic prosperity, strengthening national security, and bringing communities closer together.

Technology has the power to break down barriers and unlock opportunities that once seemed out of reach. Whether it’s harnessing AI, building new platforms, or rethinking how we interact with the digital world, this category recognises those businesses shaping the future through innovation.

Here are some inspiring examples of technological trailblazers within the Enterprising ME community:

A Kickstarter Challenge 2024 finalist, Catherine Mary Said is building smarter, more resilient systems that put people at the centre of technology, proving innovation and inclusion go hand in hand.

The inaugural Kickstarter Challenge winner is creating immersive audio experiences that make travel accessible for people who are blind or have low vision, showing that adventure should be for everyone.

Founded by Nici Sweaney, AI Her Way empowers women to harness the power of artificial intelligence in business through tools and training, ensuring more women lead the AI-driven future.

These businesses remind us that technology isn’t just about speed or scale, it’s about shaping a future that is inclusive and considered. If you’re harnessing emerging tech to solve problems, connect communities, or strengthen our nation’s future, the Technology category is for you.
