How do they clean? How do people go shopping? So where can technology come to play a role in those daily tasks? Now, in the last three or four years, we've done about 25 projects just on those sorts of issues on robotics because we have clients that are looking, how do we build really good human-centric robotic solutions that people actually want to work with?

Because people generally don't, just in the area of robots, they don't really know how to interact with them. And the attempts have been put on the market so far, they've had their limitations. So we're starting from a perspective as researchers, because I say we see, as researchers, we see a lot of stuff that doesn't work. We see the issues in people that make tech. They can see problem.

In aging, problems are very easy to see. Sometimes in innovation... You can have the situation that we have a solution, but do we have a problem? That happens a lot, actually. In aging, the problem's really obvious. But what seems like a very reasonable solution from the point of view of the technologist, when you put it in the user's hands, it may not work.

We've got examples of how that can be an issue. So I think that the first thing that I am working on is ensuring that we have a very good fit between user needs and what that technology does. So our first role in the whole area of aging tech is to filter the ideas that have potential from those that are much longer term.

So the people that are producing these solutions, they have very well intended, they want to help people and they theoretically will help people, but we really need to work out what are the ones where we can bring them to market fairly soon. And then when we've identified that there's a really good fit with needs and it seems like a fairly practical solution,

solution, then we still have the job of adapting. Sometimes there'll be some elements of cultural adaptation that you need to do for Japan, selling it into the market here, but also just basic user experience, stuff that needs to be cleared up or worked on. And so when we've got a relevant product, we've optimized user experience. We can use that with our skills that we have in research.

then we're facilitating commerce so what we're doing is because we're selecting the companies we then connect them up to distribution so that's the first stage of our project is identifying the companies check it appraising the user experience and then connecting them up to distribution stage one so we've got two companies that we're really advanced in doing that at the moment

Then after that, of course, we spend a lot of time with users, so we understand what the needs are. So if there are no solutions for certain needs, then we may want to develop those solutions and assemble teams to actually create products. So a venture studio is definitely in the works for us. And then in the big picture, too, there's an investment story around that as well.

But really, for me, the key thing is that we can get some success with these early projects so that then we can expand it out to the bigger picture to make sure that the essentially that yes, if there are opportunities to create product. We can do that.

If there are companies that we can facilitate investment for that we think will meet needs that we've validated and that we think that their products will address, then we want to facilitate investment for those businesses as well. So for us, that's a really interesting business. It's a good business. But as I say, it's about making sure that we get the right projects.
