A few weeks ago, Senator Kate Lundy organised her third Public Sphere Event. It was a major undertaking between three locations – Wollongong, Melbourne and Brisbane – with heavy use of modern Internet technology with synchronised live presentations and cross-site collaborative document editing.

Our CEO Silvia Pfeiffer gave a presentation about “ICT Innovation is easy – Commercialisation is hard”. It summarises some of the experiences made in Vquence with creating a Web 2.0 business in Australia and also addresses more generally the situation Australian ICT startups find themselves in after the GFC (global financial crisis). Slides and video below, as well as a playlist of all the videos from the Public Sphere event.

Scott Kirsner is a journalist and an expert in predicting successful new technology trends. He is currently preparing for an event on June 25th about “What’s Next in Tech: Exploring the Growth Opportunities of 2009 and Beyond.”.

I stumbled about it because four key areas that Vquence works in are mentioned as exciting new opportunities in his blog post about the topic:

Digital video (esp. getting Internet video onto the TV)
New analytics companies (in the vein of Compete.com, Visible Measures, Localytics, etc.)
New forms of media/reporting/content creation
Social media and marketing

I can only agree!
