【AEA 2019 Alumni】
Aware Group was incorporated as a Data and AI company in September 2016. The company bootstrapped from the beginning using services revenue to grow the team and provide funds for developing products. There are now over 20 staff in New Zealand with teams growing in the United States and Singapore.

Aware Group has created deep ties with industry partners such as Microsoft (at the global level), to gain access to large customers across the world. These networks are especially important for Aware Group to understand the industry, but also to build a channel to sell products. Aware Group released its first Software-as-a-Service product, Aware Cognitive Platform (ACP) in 2019 and these networks have been invaluable.

ACP enables customers to rapidly deploy and realise the value of AI in their business. Aware Group have built several ACP Modules to support customer scenarios including (but not limited to) People Counting, Automated Number Plate Recognition and Audio Classification. Aware Group have run a number of pilots of the technology and are going through commercials for production deployments right now.
