Broader sensing capability

Adds a new sensing layer to Simble’s platform, supporting use cases across environmental monitoring, workplace safety, and industrial applications.

Improved integration potential

Creates a pathway for tighter connection between sensing hardware and Simble’s software platform, supporting more complete data capture and reporting.

Long-term growth opportunities

Strengthens the platform foundation for future connected sensing solutions and wider commercial applications over time.

What is Next Nano?

Next Nano brings advanced nanosensor technology developed at Macquarie University into Simble’s platform. The technology is based on a patented 3D zinc oxide nanostructure designed for high-sensitivity environmental and optical sensing, with a compact form factor and low-power operation that make it suitable for embedded devices and connected systems.

In practical terms, it enables very small sensors that can capture environmental data efficiently and support new monitoring applications. For Simble, it adds a stronger sensing foundation that can support broader data capture across environmental monitoring, workplace safety, and industrial use cases.

A Stronger Platform

For Simble, the key strategic value is vertical integration. Today, SimbleSense relies on third-party hardware for part of its sensing capability. Owning access to proprietary nanosensor IP creates a pathway to design more of that capability in-house over time.

That matters because it can support better control over product development, deeper integration between hardware and software, and improved economics as the platform evolves. It also strengthens Simble’s position as a technology company focused on connected data, energy intelligence and carbon reporting.

Potential Applications

The initial focus is on sensing applications that align closely with Simble’s current platform and customer base. These include environmental sensing, workplace safety, air quality and UV monitoring, and industrial monitoring and equipment verification.

Over time, the same underlying technology may support additional product opportunities across wearables, e-skin, defence, medical and robotics-related use cases. These remain longer-term possibilities, but they show the breadth of the technology platform.

What This Means
for Shareholders

This is a strategic step to broaden Simble’s long-term opportunity set. It moves the company closer to owning more of the sensing technology that underpins its platform, while creating a pathway for future development and integration.

The transaction was announced alongside a capital raise to support technology development, existing business growth and working capital. Like any initiative of this kind, the value will depend on execution, commercialisation and continued development over time.

What This Means
for Clients

For clients, Next Nano opens the door to smarter sensing and broader visibility across operations. It strengthens Simble’s ability to capture more useful data in more places, supporting better monitoring, more informed decisions, and a more connected platform over time.

As the technology develops, it creates new possibilities for environmental sensing, workplace safety and industrial use cases — all within the same broader ecosystem. That means more value from the platform, and more ways to turn data into action.
