Finalists for the Northern Territory Government Challenge and the Bolney Wine Estate Challenge

“I've had the fortune of doing GRAVITY last year as well and I think it's an incredible platform which allows you to look at a variety of unique challenges. You get to work on different things, from wine to cotton, we were able to work within the same landscapes so it’s extremely rewarding to be able to get that on a single platform.”

Champions for the Transport for NSW Challenge

“I've been involved in GRAVITY two times before and both times have ended up in a paid monitoring contract so, it really has value on the bottom line. The most rewarding part of GRAVITY has always been working with the Deloitte team and the Challenge Providers. They're all professionals in their areas of expertise and they're all looking to get the best out of the GRAVITY Innovators.”

Champions for the Transgrid Challenge

“GRAVITY has been a great way to connect meaningfully with companies, real-world challenges, in a structured way that sets us both up for success. The most rewarding part of the challenge so far has been meeting and working very close to the people that will be using our solutions. We were able to propose our solution, iterate quickly and converge in order to be able to solve very technically complex problems and show very clear value to our customers.”

Finalists for the Bolney Wine Estate Challenge

“The most exciting part for me during this journey has been presenting our results in the one on one sessions with the Bolney Wine Estate team and seeing the excitement with which they received these results. It's been a great opportunity to get their feedback which has helped us co-develop and shape the future development of our tools.”

Champions for the Planet Labs Challenge

“The most rewarding part of GRAVITY has been working in close collaboration with farmers and getting their feedback on our solutions. Beyond just using high resolution satellite data, we learned that this data is needed in order to bring trust and transparency to the agri-food system in Europe and across the globe.”

Finalists for the Transgrid Challenge

“The most rewarding part of the challenge was to truly speak to the customer. Usually, innovation challenges consist of a pitch and, when you're lucky, a Q&A session. But the GRAVITY Challenge really allows you to sit every week with your customer, get prepared and deeply understand their needs. This makes sure that the business proposal is successful and the long-term relationship with the customer as well.”

Finalists for the Telstra InfraCo Challenge

“We learned so much particularly around Telstra's needs, the challenges they face, and really scoping what needs to be done as a solution. We've also been able to solidify the knowledge that we have through the GRAVITY Challenge as we get alot of support from Deloitte and from their Partners.”

Champions for the Alliance Wine Challenge and Finalists for the Planet Labs Challenge

“It was a real pleasure doing the GRAVITY Challenge, we had such a great time collaborating to really come up with a solution that met the needs of sustainable viticulture, agriculture, and measuring carbon. It was such a great experience to work with like-minded people who really want to solve this problem and make a difference for the planet.”

“At GAIA, we are always aiming for solutions that have such meaningful impact on society. GRAVITY has been this amazing platform that has enabled this for us by offering us a place to innovate, learn, and solve this problem together.”

Finalists for the Transport for NSW Challenge and Investment NSW Space to Grow Awardee

“The most rewarding aspect has been getting to work onsite with people who would potentially be using our data. Since participating in GRAVITY we've been able to focus and refine our product which will ultimately help us to deliver more value to our clients.”

Finalists for the Alliance Wine Challene

“Participating in the GRAVITY Challenge with our partners, Big Terra, has been a true collaborative approach between multi-disciplinary teams. We have gained greater insight into the climate adaptation challenges of not only winegrowers but other stakeholders along the value chain. We validated the need to combine vineyard's soil and satellite data to bring transparency in the sustainability journey of the wine industry.”

Finalists for the Alliance Wine Challenge

“The GRAVITY Challenge helped us make a huge leap forwards. We now have direct contact, not only to Alliance Wine, but to a larger group of wine growers and wine makers which is something that would have taken much longer and would be much harder for us to do without the Challenge.”

Champions for the Bolney Wine Estate Challenge

“Most rewarding has been the chance to innovate together as a team along with our Challenge Provider, Bolney Wine Estate. Those customer centred interactions are hugely valuable and insightful to us.”

Champions for the Hello Tractor Challenge

“The most rewarding part of the GRAVITY has been developing this technology because this is the first time we were able to help local people regarding very immediate needs: The need to understand which areas of Kenya are most in danger of burning and which areas in Kenya are ideal for grazing animals.”

Collaborated with the Soil Association Exchange

“I think the most valuable thing we've learned is that some of the innovations and methods that we are putting together need explaining. We need to be able to clearly articulate how they work, what's novel about them, what's unique and sets us apart from the field.”
