June 11 2019 a1212936 https://www.adelaide.edu.au/echallenge/news/list/2019/06/11/tech-echallenge-winners https://www.adelaide.edu.au/echallenge/news/2018/11/20/green-waste-solution-wins-australian-echallenge The winning team, VitaChar, proposes the conversion of organic waste into an organic fertiliser with a simple, safe, and efficient device. Methane emissions, which contribute to climate change, would be reduced, as green waste doesn’t end up in landfill. Nutrients are returned directly to the soil, and costs and emissions associated with transport are reduced. VitaChar is proposed as being carbon negative, as it results in a reduction in atmospheric Co2. VitaChar has also won the Climate Response category and the People’s Choice Prize.

People, Government, community services and private enterprise speak a lot about ideas, innovation and strategy but not enough focus is on the successful execution of these ideas into existing, new and emerging markets. Kiikstart is committed to the successful and smart execution of ideas via a creative and entrepreneurial style of learning and development. It is about not only the mere idea but more importantly the how, and seeing this through to fruition - the practical application of innovation to create change. Ultimately Kiikstart works with others to create organisations and physical environments staff and customers want to be part of for the long term. Kiikstart creates businesses that have the ability to surprise the customer and to challenge commonly held perceptions and beliefs about what they can expect when doing business with certain brands.
