Matter builds AI-driven sensor platforms for flood prediction and smart waste management, using patented radar technology that can accurately measure bin fill-levels and stormwater conditions through opaque materials in harsh field environments. Its systems are already deployed in the City of Monash for stormwater network monitoring, helping councils shift from reactive to proactive infrastructure maintenance.

In an age of disruption, siloed spatial data slows communities down. Born at CSIRO and built on open source, Terria is now used in 22 countries. It turns complex data into digital twins that anyone can open in a browser, helping councils, industry and residents see the same picture and decide faster, together.

VivaCity uses AI-powered computer vision sensors to gather accurate, anonymised, multimodal transport data for cities across the UK, Ireland, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. Its technology supports councils such as the City of Melbourne, City of Adelaide and Wellington City Council with traffic monitoring, signal optimisation and road safety analysis, and has been independently validated at over 97% classification accuracy.

Founded in 2015 by former Tier 1 technology consultants, Peclet Technology builds data portals and open-data solutions that help Australian councils, state governments and utilities turn underused datasets into actionable insights. The Sydney-based company works with more than 30 councils and organisations nationally, with a focus on smart cities, smart energy, emissions reporting and circular-economy applications, including a $1m NSW Smart City Innovation Challenge project.

Aero Ranger is an all-in-one compliance and safety platform used by more than 60 Australian and New Zealand councils to manage parking enforcement, permits, inspections and officer workloads. Its AI-powered vehicle recognition automatically redacts faces and number plates for privacy, and the company positions its approach around fairness and community trust rather than blanket enforcement, focusing resources on repeat offenders.

VisionHQ helps councils automate bin contamination management. It works with widely used onboard CCTV systems already installed across council waste fleets, operating automatically as trucks complete their normal collection routes with no driver input required. Detected contamination is reviewed and verified, with evidence provided to Council waste teams for follow-up. Built in Brisbane, VisionHQ is already deployed with Australian councils and waste operators, with local engineering and support.

EVX is Australia's only locally owned, completely vertically integrated public EV charging infrastructure provider. Focusing on integration with existing street furniture, EVX designs, manufactures, deploys, owns, and operates Australia's fastest-growing kerbside charging network.

Blue IoT is an Australian smart-building and smart-communities technology company combining IoT sensors, building automation and its AWS-hosted Encompass Blue platform to transform fragmented building and environmental data into actionable intelligence. Its open, non-proprietary solutions help councils, asset owners and facility teams improve indoor air quality, energy efficiency, water management, occupancy insights, compliance reporting and operational performance — moving beyond monitoring to deliver healthier, safer and more sustainable places.

Esri Australia helps organisations make sense of data through the power of location. By combining Esri's world-leading ArcGIS technology with deep local expertise, they connect systems, data and people; bring location into the decisions that matter; and support implementation to deliver insights that reduce risk, optimise performance, and sustain value over time.
