Introducing the Forum Foursome

Two weeks today, Pingar presents at the UK Technology Innovation & Growth Forum in London. As previously posted, we are one of only four global companies selected by the UK T&I Global Entrepreneur Program to showcase our technology to the assembled analysts and investors. So who are the other three?

Ceram Polymerik is an advanced materials company with patented ceramifying polymer technology. Its inorganic additive blends enable functional plastic articles to seamlessly transform into a cohesive, self-supporting and dimensional stable ceramic during a fire, providing a protective barrier to the movement of heat, smoke and toxic gases. This offers cost-effective and technically superior solutions for existing and emerging applications in the Passive Fire Protection (“PFP”) market. Ceram Polymerik is based in Victoria, Australia.

Codilink is a new media company that provides technology platforms to advertising agencies and blue chip brands. Its main product focus is on coupon, ticket and loyalty card distribution and redemption, providing a method to eradicate the current paper trail required for coupon reconciliation. By issuing unique two-dimensional barcodes as coupons via any medium (paper, email or mobile phone), redeeming them via low-cost hardware installed in the point of sale, and performing all reconciliation and payments to merchants, Codilink is becoming the world’s first digital coupon clearing house. Codilink is based out of Barcelona, Spain.

Netcat , Australia’s largest Web Content Management Software (WCM) company, has launched SWIPE (Simple Website Import & Processing Engine), its unique Web 2.0 software that allows everyday users to auto-generate fully navigable mini-websites from large desktop-formatted documents (or folios of documents) and vice versa. A 500page policy manual can be converted into a fully navigable website in around 10 minutes. Netcat is based out of New South Wales, Australia.

So there we have it: The four global technologies that will represent UK T&I GEP at the Showcase event. For an overview of ALL the companies who will be showcasing their technology in London, the Forum organisers launched a Showcase site yesterday. You can view it here.
