Since the event, Portcast has been able to close contracts with 2 new customers; and also signed up additional trial customers. Based on the network we built from the Captain's Table, we have had interest from potential customers from various countries globally.

There is an old saying that innovation is seeing what everyone has seen and thinking what nobody has thought. This remains spot on and the imperative to identify all manner of better ways of doing things will be even greater.

There is no better time or deeper need for brilliant and constructive news ways of doing things and innovation.
