How they describe themselves: Pixeliris is a company with services in the area of technology marketing. The company started 15 years ago proposing audio software and has been increasing ever since with services and research in the area of digital development.
Pixeliris Labs is Pixeliris’ R&D laboratory that has been working over the past 5 years on different high-tech technologies, including contactless communication protocols between smart devices. This research has resulted in several patents in the area of sonic and ultrasonic communication between smart devices.
How they describe their product/innovation: CopSonic is the first universal contactless mobile payment system powered by our unique technology. It is based on sonic communication transiting through the devices’ speakers and microphones. Therefore, our technology is compatible with 100% of existing phones and smartphones, unlike NFC technologies. Several patents have been filed with regard to the security of the transaction.
Our technology allows peer-to-peer transactions between feature phones and smartphones but also enables online passwordless authentication turning the devices into security dongles.
We developed an SDK that allows third-party companies to integrate the modules and, therefore, create a business model based on transaction fees or licenses.

How they describe themselves: Plutus Software was incorporated in Singapore in February 2012. We saw a great opportunity to create a web and mobile ecosystem specifically to cater to the needs of the large and ever growing consumer finance sector in Asia. Our goal is to develop apps and platform products that are geared towards fulfilling this objective.
For our first major overseas market, Indonesia, our flagship product, LoanGarage.com, is known as KreditAja.com, and it was launched in May 2013. It aims to empower Indonesian consumers by acting as a ‘one stop shop’ where they can choose from a curated selection of various financial products with the best rates available at any given time and from the most reliable and reputable lenders in the market.
How they describe their product/innovation: In addition to the comparison functionality for the various financial products, KreditAja.com features predictive analytics to aid both borrowers and lenders. For borrowers, this potentially enables creditworthy individuals to gain access to financing that they normally would not be able to obtain based on traditional credit scoring methods. At the same time, this analytics capability enables lenders on our platform to more accurately assess the risk of borrowers so as to better price the products that they are disbursing. Our proprietary credit scoring system aims to produce a more holistic assessment of a borrower’s creditworthiness via incorporating multiple data sources, including social media.
