Follow on Google News | Cambridge Wireless and S-Tech insure Support for Start-UpsCambridge insurance broker S-Tech will be bringing its 30 years’ experience of working with technology companies from start-up to international success to the 5th Future of Wireless International Conference
By: Cambridge Wireless Among those taking part in the Start-Up Zone will be ei Technologies, which is developing a way of detecting emotion in the voice through a smart phone application. “It’s like a heart monitor for emotions,” explains joint company founder Matt Dobson. “The idea is that it will be used by mental health patients who are currently expected to keep a diary of their emotions, which can be very laborious.” The App is able to deduce changes in a person’s mood and provide useful information for their psychologist. The company was set up last year and is currently looking for a route to market and technology companies to work with. “The technology pushes the boundaries of what phones can do, so we need to talk to companies such as Qualcomm to see where their future direction is,” adds Dobson. The major issue facing ei Tech has been finding enough time to put together all aspects of the business: “It’s not just about getting the technology right; we also need to bring in cash and develop the business side,” explains Dobson. With the help of technical advisor Professor Stephen Cox from UEA they aim to get the product up and running in the next nine months. Recognising the very specific needs of start-up technology companies, S-Tech offers Tech-Start, an insurance product specifically designed for their needs. “Technology start-ups like ei Technologies are obviously developing something very new and insurance companies are, by their very nature, cautious organisations,” The 5th Future of Wireless International Conference takes place in July at The Møller Centre and includes keynote presentations from O2/Telefonica UK, Microsoft Research, ARM, Accenture, Qualcomm Atheros, MediaTek, PWC, Transport for London and the BBC.
