Knowledge silos within organisations ( universities , associations , consulting networks ) and across industries create ineffective ecosystems .
Kintell ’ s research in knowledge transfer and information processing informs effective ways to facilitate knowledge exchange between individuals and organisations .
Kintell is developing a B2B product for organisations to connect their people via video ( live chat and video content ) for insight sharing and a global P2P marketplace for expertise sharing .
The organisation has received a prestigious grant , raised pre-seed capital , and achieved an MVP ( minimal viable product ) in the market .
> Amongst the top 1 % of Australian software companies to receive an Accelerating Commercialisation grant from Australian Federal Government in 2021 / 2022 .
> Most active 1-to-1 language tutorial platform in Europe connecting Ukrainian refugees and local volunteer tutors .
> Development of UNSW Alumni Connect , a digital lifelong learning hub for UNSW alumni , powered by Kintell .
