AGAIN AGAIN
Guilt-free Cups Deluxe....
After a light bulb moment in March 2018, in which Nada Piatek Managing Director, (pictured) saw a systematic approach to addressing single-use waste in the coffee industry, Again Again was born – and so was the reusable takeaway coffee cup revolution.
"Again Again offers a sustainable solution – in a Kiwi industry that sees 295 million single-use cups entering landfills and the ecosystem annually – through a reusable and refundable coffee cup share system, which stops upwards of 820,000 single-use cups entering landfills annually.” Nada tells us.
The reusable steel cups are available with a deposit and return at participating cafes, giving coffee fiends peace of mind with every sip.

HEAD MRI - PAIHAU ROBINSON RESEARCH INSTITUTE
A cap that mind maps
Traditional MRI scanners are large, expensive, intimidating machines, only affordable for large hospitals. To change this, Robinson and an international consortium led by University of Minnesota, developed a small, affordable, clinical quality, transportable brain scanner – easy to use and patient-friendly.
​
“We delivered a trailblazing MRI scanner that puts people first, with leading-edge science, design, and engineering at the core. We’re excited to see where the road ahead takes us as this will change the game for MRI.” says Principal Investigator Ben Parkinson, pictured.
​
The project brought together designers from the School of Design Innovation at Victoria with engineers from Robinson who manufactured the innovative superconducting magnet and patient systems.

JNCTN
Very Tidy ID
JNCTN’s SaaS platform streamlines digital identity and workforce credential management. Customers don’t need any technical capability and it supersedes tedious paper-based systems.
Using JNCTN reduces fraudulent activity by providing proof of a worker’s identity, licences and site inductions – it ensures they’re qualified and are who they say they are.
There are many applications for JNCTN ranging from forestry, construction and mining to managing compliance and checking the tradesperson at your door is licenced.
“The global credentialing market is projected to leap to USD$2.58B by 2027, and with our first mover advantage in the energy sector, we’re very well positioned to capture the significant growth opportunity,” says CEO Wayne Stemp pictured.
