3. Healthcare Innovation Investment
Around the World is on the Move
In the USA alone
• $5 billion invested in the 1st 3 Qtrs 2014
• Funding to nearly double year-over-year
We MUST tap into international eco-system
http://www.healthstartup.eu/the-ultimate-health-
startup-resources-guide/

4. 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

5. “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’

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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!

9. Tonight's turnout is a great start!
Here is just a sample of the world class
innovation coming out of Queensland
Many of those presenting are from or currently in one of Queensland's
wonderful incubators/accelerators

22. 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.

23. 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.

24. Where we are today
Proof of concept prototypes highlighting the key benefits of the
technology have been demonstrated, attracting significant
interest from a number of institutions, some of which are now our
collaborative 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.

25. The Challenges Ahead
Decisions 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

ION Put t ing more X
into sex
Se-mex-ion

52. 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).

53. 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.

54. 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?
