Liven passes through to the top 10 of Richard Branson’s Extreme Tech Challenge 2019

Announced on Twitter on November 19, Liven has passed through to the top 10 of Richard Branson’s Extreme Tech Challenge. It is exciting and humbling to be placed among other inspiring projects from across the tech landscape and we are excitedly preparing for the next round of the competition.

The top 10 finalists including Liven will pitch their projects in January at the Consumer Electronic Show 2019 in Las Vegas, USA with the top 3 teams then given the opportunity to pitch directly to Sir Richard Branson and a powerhouse panel on Necker Island — a worthwhile trek from down under.

Frank is a renowned Chef in Australia and his restaurants represent Melbourne’s best expression of Spanish cuisine. Over the last decade he has retained an industry leading position and a reputation for excellence. It is a pleasure to have Frank onboard the Liven team.
