Acusensus talks global expansion and growth drivers

Acusensus Ltd Managing Director talked with Proactive at AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company’s progress in road safety technology, its global expansion, and the upcoming launch of a new product line aimed at road worker protection. Alex Jannink, Managing Director and Co-founder of Acusensus, explained how the company pioneered enforcement cameras targeting behaviours like mobile phone use and seatbelt compliance. “We supply these automated enforcement cameras...and we receive a fixed monthly fee essentially for those services,” he said, outlining the company's outsourced business model under long-term government contracts. While 93% of revenues currently come from Australia, Jannink confirmed growth is underway internationally, with active customers in the United States and United Kingdom. Acusensus has also secured a nationwide speed enforcement contract in New Zealand, expected to contribute significantly from the next financial year. Jannink highlighted the broader social mission behind the business: “The whole goal of the company is to change behaviours and to save lives.” He pointed to strong behavioural impacts from previous deployments, including a six-fold drop in mobile phone use and a 21% reduction in road fatalities in New South Wales. A new road worker safety product line is also in development and, according to Jannink, “can be as large as the enforcement business.” #Acusensus #RoadSafety #AItechnology #TrafficEnforcement #DriverSafety #ASXStocks #GovernmentContracts #InfrastructureSafety #SmartCameras #RoadWorkerProtection #AutonomousTech #InvestSmart #PublicSafetyTech

Airtasker CEO on growth, AI & global expansion

Airtasker Ltd CEO Tim Fung talked with Proactive at AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company’s strategic focus across innovation, growth, and international expansion.** Fung outlined how Airtasker differentiates itself in the local services marketplace by operating as a community platform, where both customers and taskers set job scopes and pricing, rather than the company enforcing set rates. He emphasised Airtasker’s approach to worker empowerment, noting, *“The top people on our platform are running 150, 200 thousand dollars a year doing these kinds of jobs.”* Fung also acknowledged the challenges of the current consumer environment, pointing to Airtasker’s 14.8% revenue growth in the half as a result of lean operations and renewed brand investment. A key part of Airtasker’s strategy involves innovation across customer acquisition, user experience, and operational efficiency—highlighting its collaboration with OpenAI and use of AI tools like Copilot and Zendesk AI. Fung also discussed partnerships, including one with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, as examples of how Airtasker showcases the diverse range of skilled work enabled by the platform. He concluded by outlining the investor case: a cash-generative, proven business model in Australia being used to fund international growth in the US and UK, offering upside potential with limited downside. #Airtasker #TimFung #ASX #GigEconomy #AIIntegration #MarketplacePlatform #SmallCapStocks #TechInnovation #FY25Strategy #ProactiveInvestors #OpenAI #GlobalExpansion #InvestorUpdates #StartupGrowth

Gunnison Copper advances Johnson Camp Mine construction, on track for Cathode Production in Q3 2025

Gunnison Copper SVP- Operations Robert Winton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the ongoing construction progress at the fully permitted Johnson Camp Mine in southeast Arizona. Speaking with Proactive, Winton confirmed that construction activities are on schedule, with the company expecting to produce copper cathode by Q3 2025. Mining of mineralized material officially began in January 2025, and the extracted material is currently being stockpiled in preparation for the completion of the leach pad. The Phase-1 leach pad has been successfully completed, while Phase-2 is advancing rapidly. Once Phase-2 is in place, the company will begin installing Nuton’s advanced processing equipment, a key step toward optimizing sulfide and oxide mineralized material processing. Gunnison Copper has also completed the redesign and construction of a state-of-the-art laboratory for on-site material and process analysis. The lab is set to begin ramping up in April 2025 and will be fully commissioned once leach pad production is underway. Additionally, the company’s HR team is making significant strides in building a strong workforce, with an emphasis on local hiring. Gunnison Copper has already brought in exceptional talent, reinforcing its commitment to both operational excellence and community engagement. With these developments, Gunnison Copper remains on track to deliver sustainable copper production, leveraging innovative technologies and a highly skilled team to drive success at Johnson Camp Mine. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf #mining #johnsoncampmine GunnisonCopper #NutonTechnology #JohnsonCamp #CriticalMinerals #MadeInAmericaCopper #HeapLeaching #MiningUpdate #RioTintoPartnership #CopperSupplyChain #Q2MiningOutlook

Qualitas funds soar as banks step back

Qualitas Ltd Group Managing Director Andrew Schwartz talked with Proactive at the AIM's Small and Midcap conference about the company's differentiated position in Australia's real estate investment management landscape. Andrew Schwartz explained that Qualitas operates at scale, supported by large institutional capital. “Some of those investors literally commit amounts of 1.7 billion and above to Qualitas,” he said, noting the firm can fund projects with hundreds of millions—territory once dominated by traditional banks. Schwartz highlighted the company’s deep property expertise, developed over decades, as a key driver of performance. He said, “We are deep sector, deep dive property people,” which allows them to manage funds based not just on lending metrics but also on underlying property fundamentals. The conversation also addressed Qualitas’ notable growth in funds management revenue since its 2021 IPO. Schwartz attributed this to structural shifts in the Australian finance market, where banks still represent 77% of a AU$477 billion sector—but their share is shrinking. “We’ve really got the benefit of filling a void in the market that the bank market just can’t fill,” he said. Roughly 80% of Qualitas' activities are in the housing sector, financing large-scale residential projects rather than retail home loans. Schwartz said the persistent supply shortage, despite rising interest rates, underpins property values and creates strong demand for capital. #Qualitas #RealEstateInvestment #InstitutionalCapital #AustralianHousing #PropertyFinance #AndrewSchwartz #HousingShortage #ASX #FundsManagement #ProactiveInvestors
