Expressions of Interest in participating close on 25 July.

The Pitch Fest will be held in Perth on 28 August and the theme is “Novel robotic systems and counter-robotic systems that directly increase the warfighter’s lethality or survivability”.  The founder and lead investor of Beaten Zone will be on the panel selecting suitable applicants and the eventual winner.

Expressions of Interest (EOI) applications are now open and will close at 8pm AEST on Tuesday, 25th of July. Successful and unsuccessful applicants will be notified via email no later than 8pm on Wednesday, 26th of July. The Pitch Fest will be held on the 28th of August, in Perth – the day before the Australian Army Innovation Day, Army Robotics Expo and Quantum Technology Challenge series of events.

Beaten Zone is collaborating with the Australian Army through their Events team and whilst this Pitch Fest is not directly affiliated with the official Chief of Army Symposium, it will complement the Army’s series of events.

The Beaten Zone Venture focus is on early-stage, sovereign businesses developing solutions to enhance the lethality, survivability and capability of the ADF and Australia’s Allies.
