Knight-A
NaViCare is seeking 200,000 to develop the next version of Night Adaptometer (Knight-A), a portable and affordable screening device for early detection and monitoring of visual diseases. Compared to its nearest competitor, this device increases the testing range 100-fold, and yet retails at around half the price. If adopted by the NHS it could save the U.K. Government millions of pounds in post-accident payout. We estimate initial annual turnover at 80,000, rising to 150,000. Investors should regain their investment in three years. Twenty percent of the profit will be re-invested in human vision research.

Medicines For Humanity
One-third of the world's population does not have access to essential medicines. Pharmaceutical companies have reputational and financial incentives to donate medicines. However, the medical donations process is not meeting its potential. The key problem is a lack of accurate and comprehensive information on unmet medical needs and sources of donations. The MedMap database will provide this, thereby facilitating communication between donors, recipients, and donation channels, and raising public awareness of good medical donations. By consolidating information crucial to all stakeholders, Medicines for Humanity will enable the distribution of the right medicines to the right people at the right time.

Metal-Enriched Yeast
Vitamin and mineral supplements are in a competitive market where sales are dependent on reformulation of existing products and media reports of clinical studies. Inorganic salts as carriers of minerals have received considerable criticism and negative publicity because clinical studies have proved that absorption of inorganic compounds is highly inefficient. Moreover, current manufacturing processes incorporate impurities that impair quality of the product and risk the consumer's health. The use of metal-enriched yeast as next-generation supplements will provide a biological, organic-bound mineral supply that is low-cost, free of impurities and that exhibits optimised absorption characteristics due to its biological nature.

Mobile Positioning Systems
Trying to figure out where you are and where youre going is probably one of man's oldest puzzles. Instead of building up its own network, MPN uses the established reliable matured GSM mobile network to realise positioning function. Since the newly developed algorithm and software can be easily embedded into most recent mobile phones, the low-end users do not need to purchase any further equipment. While for the high-end users, we could provide specially designed equipment that could be a handset, or a headset, or could be installed in a car. The innovational attributes make MPN very accurate and cost-effective. This idea, as well as corresponding multi-stage product and implementation strategy plan, will be implemented based on an entrepreneurial company - Mobile Positioning Network Ltd.

MoneyCare allows consumers to update and track their finances easily and, best of all, whilst on the move.
