WE'RE BUILDING THE TECHNOLOGY FIRST RESPONDERS, DEFENCE PERSONNEL AND THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY WILL WEAR NEXT.
UNDERPINNED BY AUSTRALIAN MANUFACTURING.
From copper cable in the ground to a display in front of your eyes, we're widening what Energy Technologies means.
OUR INVESTMENT CASE
A new technology frontier: HUD glasses
Our wholly owned subsidiary Cogenic holds the laser optical engineering behind heads up displays: 14 patents, owned outright with no royalties owed. It is a category the market expects to grow more than five fold by the early 2030s, and we own a piece of what makes it work.
Niche bespoke short run manufacturing business
Bambach Wire and Cables has manufactured low voltage insulated copper cable in Australia since 1936, and we hold 100% of it. Bespoke, short run orders for mining, rail and defence customers. An established brand with real customers and real revenue today.
COGENIC · TECHNOLOGY INTERESTS
Next Gen HUD Glasses
Held within Cogenic, our wholly owned technology business. Glasses technology has come a long way, and HUD glasses are anticipated to impact first responders, defence personnel and the aerospace industry.
Market timing
Global smart glasses shipments grew 167% year on year in Q1 2026. The category is projected to grow from $2.5B in 2025 to $14.4B by 2033.
Category proof
Meta's Ray-Ban Display glasses, a 600×600 full colour display at 90Hz and up to 5,000 nits, shipped in September 2025 at US$799, showing the category has moved from concept to shelf.
Our angle
Through Cogenic we own 14 laser optical engineering patents outright, with no royalties owed, backed by decades of Australian manufacturing and an investment discipline built on identifying niche categories early.
