Healthcare Innovation in Australia
• Australia’s health tech start-up scene is booming, both in terms of interest and innovation
• Funding remains a major issue for start-ups
• No dedicated healthcare incubators and accelerators
“The Australian Government will invest $188.5 million in Industry Growth Centres to pursue global excellence in areas of competitive strength”
• Establishing 5 ‘Industry Growth Centres’
• Priority areas include medical technologies
• Centres will receive funding of up to $3.5 mill. PA
• Centres to become self-sustaining after four years
• More Centres if the programme is successful.
• Access to $63 million ‘Growth Centre Project Fund’
What’s the Queensland Government Doing?
Not a lot compared to Victoria!
Victoria's Medical Technology Strategy
$18.8 m to support and assist
Victoria's medtech industry
What Can We Do to Make Queensland A Healthcare Innovation Hub?
We MUST
• Get researchers, innovators, government, corporates and investors collaborating, supporting and investing in the sector
• Build national & international networks and strategic alliances
Outcomes for Tonight!
• Showcase some world class healthcare technologies being developed in Queensland
• Get some great networking happening
• Get YOUR feedback on
- what the CHARTER should be for this group
- how future meetings should be conducted
- other initiatives to make this successful
• Encourage everyone to spread the word
The Larger the Membership – The More Leverage!

Who We Are Core business is in research and development of next generation
medical devices. Over the past 12 months PSP has developed and refined its
patented Portal Technology in the form of 3 medical devices for use in: laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery; caesarean section; general wound closure procedures, as well as first aid applications.
The worldwide market for the technology is substantial, ranging in the millions of units per year. We believe it is potentially the most valuable I.P. in the medical device space worldwide.
Our Product/Technology PSP has developed a revolutionary non-invasive method of
controlling the opening and closing of surgical incisions and the closing of accidental skin wounds.
The versatility of the technology provides a significant number of benefits, including: savings in time and therefore cost; an increase in safety by reducing the risk of needle stick injury; a reduced risk of infection; an accelerated healing process - subsequently reduced
recovery time; and better cosmesis - with a potentially scar-less result.
Where we are todayProof of concept prototypes highlighting the key benefits of thetechnology have been demonstrated, attracting significantinterest from a number of institutions, some of which are now ourcollaborative partners, including: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organisation (CSIRO). Internationally – at both corporate and government levels. Australian National Fabrication Facility, including the
Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN). University of Massachusetts: a collaborative research project. The Biomedical Materials Transformation Facility – a
collaboration between Monash University and CSIRO.
The Challenges AheadDecisions need to be made regarding the following :
Pathway to regulatory approval
Deciding the path to commercialisation -manufacturing v licensing the Technology
Keeping the company and technology resident in Australia

Semexion - Product/technology
The technology that we are working on will be used in Artificial Insemination and will endeavour to allow the X chromosome to finish first in the race to fertilise an egg.
The outcome will be the birth of more female offspring.
The application will be used in animal production industries (dairy and pigs).
Semexion - Where we are today
We have had success with tests with mice.
We are currently testing with pigs.
We are currently starting full scale clinical trials with mice.
Semexion - The challenges
Once we know the technology works, the challenge will be to develop a product that is affordable.
What do we do with all the female mice?
