A device that enhances sporting performance
This wireless GPS device is a small and lightweight wearable. It tracks micro-movements in real time, providing instantaneous monitoring of accelerations, changes in directions, heart rates and force applied on knees and ankles. The data can be used to measure the practice workload of players and monitor fatigue that could increase the risk of injury. It was born out of collaboration between the Australian Institute of Sport and the Cooperative Research Centres. www.catapultsports.com

A bus that comes near your home
Travellers in Sydney's Inner West can now book a dedicated seat on BRIDJ, an On Demand public transport bus, with micro buses in the region. BRIDJ doesn't always take the same route like a normal bus service so they'll ask you to meet where it's safe to board. They give you walking directions to your pick up location via an app which also takes payments. The BRIDJ technology was born in 2014 in Boston, Massachusetts. It was acquired by Transit Systems, an Australian-based company with experience in running successful bus operations around the world. www.bridj.com

Oyster mushrooms from coffee grounds
The average cafe produces 60kg of coffee grounds each week and 93% of cafes will throw them away. In landfill, these coffee grounds create greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide and methane) which are contributing to global warming. BUT coffee grounds are quite valuable. They make the perfect growing base for oyster mushrooms! BeanCycled is providing grow at home mushroom farms as well as composting projects for preschools and community gardens. www.beancycled.com.au
