    , ,
    Facebook announced the launch of Libra, a new digital currency that aims to transform how we pay and transfer money.

    Batteries powering our residential homes

    ,
    The cost of retail electricity is a hot topic in Australia, exacerbated by more frequent and volatile weather events and a rapid shift from traditional fossil fuels towards renewables. Considering that residential solar panels have reached 20% penetration, and this is set to grow to 50% over time, we believe that they have reached ‘mainstream’ market adoption with steady growth in panel installations likely to continue. As such, the discussion now shifts to the installation of batteries which will further shift the energy supply mix toward renewables in Australia. With the price volatility of retail electricity, there is an increased focus by governments and households on different ways to cut costs across the energy supply chain, from distributors to end users. This report looks at how and when battery technology will be adopted and forecasts the potential impact this could have on the consumption of ‘grid’ electricity.

    Equity crowdfunding in Australia: We have lift-off

    , ,
    Equity crowdfunding has been celebrated as a game-changing alternative to venture capital and traditional business loans but has until recently been off limits to most retail investors. With the lifting of Australian restrictions on who can use equity crowdfunding platforms, there is cautious uptake from consumers and start-ups – with several platforms establishing a clear lead – but the claim of outsize returns will take time to be tested.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) has enormous potential to disrupt across the data- and process-heavy insurance value chain. The growth of AI startups and adoption of (AI) by Australian insurers began in earnest over the last two years. The approach taken so far is one of collaboration rather than direct competition between incumbents and disruptors.

    Disruption in Australian Super: Only skin deep?

    Telemedicine and AI Outlook in Primary Care

    , ,
    In this report, we provide a brief overview of ‘telemedicine’ including a 2035 forecast of the impact of telehealth tools, both human and artificial intelligence, in relation to ‘unreferred medical services’2 in the primary health market. This report does not assess or analyse the full potential for telemedicine which derives from other applications, such as remote surgical operations, sharing of digital health records or remote patient monitoring. These activities clearly would have significant additional benefits to the those explored in this report.

Venture Insights believes that telemedicine will play an important tool in scoping the primary care in Australia- changing the way GPs deliver their services.

    Neobanks – The David against banking Goliaths?

With the rise of neobanks in Europe and the UK, and the arrival of Australia’s first neobanks; Volt, Xinja and 86 400, this may be set to change as the younger generation of customers increasingly adopt more digital and customer-centric banking services.
