The 2016 Top 50 Tech Pioneers, Australia and New ZealandH2 Ventures
We are pleased to present the inaugural ‘Tech Pioneers Report’, which showcases the most exciting and pioneering startups from Australia and New Zealand. These are the companies at the leading edge of the ‘ideas boom’ and the drivers of the economy of the future.
The Tech Pioneers 50 are those companies using technology to the best advantage and driving disruption within a variety of industries and sectors. These companies have a commitment
to excellence, superior customer experience and a demonstrated ability to do one thing in a market better than anyone else.
The process for selecting the top 50 pioneers involved a wide search for pioneering companies to create a comprehensive list that was then ranked based on 5 factors: total capital raised, rate of capital raising, location and degree of sub industry disruption and the judging panel’s subjective rating of the degree of product, service, customer experience and business model innovation. A formula was then used to combine this data and determine the overall ranking.
The report has been prepared by H2 Ventures, one of Australia’s leading venture capital firms, with the support of Investec Australia, a distinctive specialist lender and asset manager.
Business and Brexit: The risks of taking a stanceIpsos UK
British adults think that businesses should be involved in the EU referendum debate – but that doesn’t mean they will trust them. When asked whether different types of business should take part in the EU referendum campaign, support was high for British businesses to participate by publicly backing one side or the other, especially SMEs. However, this does not necessarily mean the public trust what big businesses say on the issues.
The new survey finds three-quarters (75%) of the public say that small and medium-size British businesses should participate in the debate – more than say the same for other groups such as academics (68%), think tanks (54%) and newspapers (52%). The contributions of SMEs are more welcome than those of big businesses – but still nearly seven in ten (69%) of British adults are happy for big British businesses which trade internationally to make their opinion on Brexit known. However, while three-fifths (57%) say that they trust small business owners on issues relating to the referendum, leaders of large businesses fare worse, being trusted on the issues by just three in ten (29%).

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

More Construction and Agriculture Jobs -
600 Less in Unemployment Line
Official estimates released by the Statistical Institute of Belize
today show the national unemployment rate dipped to 11.1
percent in April this year from 11.7 percent twelve months earlier.
As shown in Figure 2, only the Belize District experienced a
higher rate of unemployment in April this year when compared
to the same month last year. This increase was due mostly
to workers entering the labour force at a much faster rate than
jobs were being created in the district. It is believed that the
heightened construction activity in Belize City may have made
many residents more hopeful about obtaining employment.
In other districts, the rate of joblessness fell or remained the
same. In Toledo and Stann Creek, the unemployment rate fell
by as much as one half. The decrease in the Toledo rate can
be attributed to unemployed workers dropping out of the labour
force. On the other hand, the Stann Creek unemployment rate
fell because of a significant increase in job opportunities in the
agriculture sector.
Nationally, the number of unemployed workers fell by about
600 to approximately 16,700 while the number of employed
workers expanded by 3,200 to roughly 134,600. The Belize and
Stann Creek districts accounted for the largest growth in jobs,
the majority of which were produced in the construction and
agriculture sectors. The Belize District, in particular, accounted
for two out of every three new jobs countrywide. There were
very minimal changes in the number of employed workers in the
other districts.
Interestingly, nearly all of the additional jobs in April 2014 went
to men. The unemployment rate among women was about three
times that of men, at 19.4 percent and 5.9 percent, respectively.
The youth unemployment rate improved slightly from 22 percent
to 20 percent.
Garifuna workers continued to experience the highest rate
of unemployment despite their rate falling by as much as 4
percentage points from a year ago. Creole workers experienced
the second highest rate at 16 percent while Maya workers again
recorded the lowest unemployment rate, 4.5 percent.
The share of employment in the goods-producing sectors
increased from 31 percent to 36 percent, reflecting increases
in construction and agricultural jobs. As in April 2013, the
vast majority of the unemployed population were interested in
working in the services sector.
In April 2014, the median monthly income of employed workers
fell by almost $100 to $895, indicating that the majority of new
jobs were low-paying ones. However, when the comparison is
made with September last year, it shows virtually no change in
the median monthly income in the last six months. Men continue
to earn almost $200 more per month than women.
