MoneyCare
Company Description
Consumer debt in the UK is at its highest ever level and shows no signs of subsiding. Many consumers find themselves in financial difficulty and stress because many individually small purchases add up to a large outlay. Better micro-level money management could improve the lives of millions, yet often those who could benefit the most have the least time to dedicate. MoneyCare allows consumers to update and track their finances easily and, best of all, whilst on the move. It does this by combining a secure web service, intelligent financial planning tools, and a mobile phone interface.

I.E. Solutions
Company Description
King's Corner is a relatively unknown card game. It's simple, addictive and fun to play as a pass-time. As of 2006, there are no high-quality mass-market versions available, for the PC and mobile platforms. I.E. Solutions proposes to develop an innovative virtual version of the game. Unlike other virtual card games, it will not be a simple port from the traditional arena to a computing environment. Instead, a new approach will be used, giving the software a unique user interface, high-quality graphics and ease of use. We will later develop similar-styled software utilities for these platforms.

GlucoMedix
Company Description
Diabetes is a serious epidemic facing the industrialised world, estimated to affect over 8% of the population by 2010. The major challenge faced by diabetics today is to accurately monitor their blood glucose levels. Failure to do so can lead to serious medical consequences. Current solutions involve costly invasive and inconvenient blood measurements. Therefore there is a significant unmet need for a non-invasive and reliable blood glucose monitoring device, which would be capable of continuous blood glucose monitoring. We intend to develop a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring machine, which could be used by diabetics and non-diabetics alike.
