Hillcrest launches ZVS technology evaluation with global Tier 1 automotive supplier

Hillcrest Energy Technologies CEO Don Currie joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the launch of a technology evaluation project with a global Tier 1 automotive supplier. The project’s initial phase will assess the potential benefits of Hillcrest’s Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technology in next-generation inverter applications for electric vehicles. If this phase is successful and both parties agree to proceed, subsequent phases will focus on the integration and validation of ZVS technology within the supplier’s inverter platform. Currie explained that Tier 1 automotive suppliers provide fully assembled components and systems to major automakers. This particular supplier, consistently ranked among the top 15 largest by revenue, is a global leader specializing in critical EV components like inverters. With a strong presence in the industry, the supplier plays a crucial role in advancing electric vehicle technology for manufacturers worldwide. The evaluation phase will involve a series of technical assessments aimed at eliminating switching losses and improving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. The supplier will analyze efficiency, performance, and potential advantages of Hillcrest’s ZVS technology within its inverter architecture. The findings from this evaluation will determine potential next steps for further collaboration and integration. This project represents a key opportunity for Hillcrest to demonstrate the value of its ZVS technology, with the shared objective of enhancing EV inverter performance and delivering significant benefits to automotive customers. #proactiveinvestors #hillcrestenergytechnologiesltd #cse #heat #ptcqb #hlrtf

How Beforepay’s AI model drives strong returns

Beforepay Group Ltd Finance Manager Shreya Prakash talked with Proactive about the company’s dual focus on domestic consumer lending and enterprise software through its Carrington Labs division. She explained that Beforepay’s core product—a pay advance offering—provides short-term loans with a fixed 5% fee and no hidden costs, aiming to support Australians with transparent and ethical lending. Prakash said, “The most common reason people borrow from us is not because they want to go for a vacation... but to tide them over that short-term cash flow pinch.” She highlighted that this flagship product, launched in 2020, remains central to the business and differentiates itself through its ethical model and efficient cost structure. Carrington Labs, the company’s AI and analytics arm, is productising the risk models that power Beforepay and expanding operations in the US. Prakash noted that the company is writing around 40,000 loans with just 50 staff, underlining a strong operational efficiency. Billy Cheung, also from the finance team, added that Beforepay became profitable in the first half of FY23. He reported revenue approaching A$20 million and net profit of A$2.8 million in H1 FY25. Notably, the company reduced net defaults from around 3% to just 1.1%, attributing this to improved credit risk models. Cheung also mentioned growth in personal loan offerings and continued investment into Carrington Labs. While Beforepay’s main focus remains on the Australian market, the company is actively expanding Carrington Labs internationally, particularly in the US.

Brazil Potash’s Autazes Project fully permitted, poised for construction

Brazil Potash CEO Matt Simpson joined Steve Darling from Proactive providing key updates on the company’s Autazes Potash Project in northwest Brazil. The project has successfully completed all necessary permitting milestones—including technical, environmental, indigenous, and public consultations—clearing the way for full-scale construction. Brazil, which currently imports 98% of its potash, remains heavily reliant on foreign supply. The Autazes Project is designed to address this dependency by supplying 2.4 million tonnes annually, equivalent to approximately 17% of the country’s current potash demand, all of which will be sold domestically. Simpson highlighted the project's cost advantages, emphasizing that because production is based in Brazil, the total cost of extraction, processing, and delivery is lower than the transportation cost alone for imported potash. The construction of the Autazes Project will follow a modular approach, with major components pre-assembled offsite—including in Manaus—and then transported via the Madeira River to mitigate potential weather-related risks. This approach ensures greater efficiency, productivity, and quality control throughout the construction phase. Brazil Potash has already secured key commercial agreements to support project financing. The company has signed an offtake agreement with Amaggi, one of Brazil’s largest soybean producers, for 550,000 tonnes over 15 to 17 years and a MOU with Keytrade, a major global agribusiness player, for an additional one million tonnes. These agreements play a pivotal role in ongoing debt financing discussions with banks and export credit agencies, further de-risking the project for potential investors. Institutional support for Brazil Potash remains strong, with backing from Seed Capital (UK), Sentient Group (Australia), and Franco-Nevada. The latter recently invested $10 million after conducting extensive due diligence, further validating the project's viability. Looking ahead, Brazil

2D Photonics CEO discusses plans to scale up advanced graphene-based photonics technology

Frontier IP Group portfolio company 2D Photonics CEO Ben Jensen talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s recent €25 million funding round and its plans to scale up its advanced graphene-based photonics technology. Jensen explained the growing demand for faster, more cost-effective data transmission solutions, driven by sectors such as AI and 5G. “What’s required today is ever faster data transmission at lower costs,” he said. According to Jensen, the new device architecture 2D Photonics has developed simplifies photonics design while significantly improving performance. This innovation is crucial for enabling higher bandwidth and lower power consumption across data networks. The funding will support the expansion of the leadership team and the development of pilot production capabilities. Jensen emphasized the importance of execution at this early stage, noting that the goal is to demonstrate the scalability of the technology for semiconductor foundries and ultimately reach high-volume manufacturing. He also discussed future applications, pointing to sectors such as space and defence, where rugged environments make traditional photonics challenging. In addition, the technology has relevance for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), where rapid data transmission between sensors is critical for vehicle safety.
