Budding entrepreneurs' new ventures on show

Wednesday, 17 September 2014

A drone platform offering cost-effective data collection for farmers; a hydraulic-vehicle system with the power of a bulldozer; and an SOS ring designed to help victims call for assistance are just a few of the innovative business ideas competing in the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's 2014 最新糖心Vlogn eChallenge.

The 最新糖心Vlogn eChallenge, the nation's premier student entrepreneurial competition, will start on Thursday 25 September when participants showcase their creative business ventures to an invited audience.

Among the contestants is a team called Light, which is made up of five 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide students who have developed a business plan for an autonomous drone system that can save farmers thousands on surveying and data acquisition.

"Light offers a cloud-based service allowing farmers to get the data they need, when they need it. It includes real-time statistical mapping, so changes in trends can be monitored in a timely manner and at a reduced cost," says Harry Lucas, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Mechanical Engineering student and member of Light.
