Went to the Canberra Business Point Awards last night.
Local inventor Harold of MHits won with the commericalisation of his “pay by SMS” system. You might have seen it on “The New Inventors“.
When I saw it the first time I thought “what a cool idea – paying for coffee by SMS”. I was pretty lucky to be sitting on his table to hear more about the product’s progress and that we have some cafes in Canberra that operate the service.
I’m so pleased we have such clever people here and glad to see them rewarded.
I didn’t take notes so I don’t know if I’ll remember all the other winners but what I do remember is:
- The Wise Academy – Business Plan Award
- Viridis E3 – Entrepreneur and another award
- Lucy Media (Whos Dated Who)
- An information design company – sorry didn’t remember the name.
I think I’ll definitely join MHits.
