The team behind some of Australia and New Zealand’s most popular beverage brands has teamed with Advance Queensland.
A pitch event was held with Frucor Suntory where virtual and extended reality experts were asked to provide innovative training and safety solutions in a manufacturing environment.
Frucor Suntory is looking to introduce immersive technologies to improve the effectiveness and retention of site-specific safety and induction information.
Tech startup Nexefy earned $80,000 and the opportunity to collaborate with Frucor Suntory in shaping the future of the Queensland facility.
Frucor Suntory provided $40,000, which will be matched by Advance Queensland.
Nexefy is known for creating immersive training experiences, using extended reality to create transformational learning programs. The team will work closely with Frucor Suntory to further develop virtual training and safety programs.
Pitch challenges backed by Advance Queensland have a great track-record for connecting the Queensland knowhow of home-grown start-ups like Nexefy with Australian and international investors.
Nexefy will embark on a partnership pilot program with Frucor Suntory to expand and refine the solution for implementation at the new Swanbank facility.
Nexefy was one of four companies who pitched at the XR Hub event at The Precinct, Fortitude Valley.
