Australia’s Top 100 Innovators of 2025 celebrate those who turn setbacks into breakthroughs, and this year, three Greek Australians are among those leading the charge, according to theaustralian.com.au.
Spiro Rokos is transforming the way Australians handle receipts and loyalty programs. Co-founder of Slyp, he pioneered a system that sends tax-compliant, itemised receipts straight from retailers to customers’ banking apps. Now, Rokos and his team are tackling the loyalty market with an AI-powered app that links rewards to a customer’s credit or debit card. Participating retailers, including supermarket chain Supabarn, gain real-time data to enhance offers and increase sales, while customers enjoy seamless point-of-sale experiences.
Daniel Danilatos, founder of Neara, is helping utility companies prepare for extreme weather. His startup creates 3D “digital twins” of electricity networks, allowing operators to identify weak points, simulate storm scenarios, and plan preventative measures. Australian providers such as Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy use Neara’s platform to safeguard against natural disasters, while expansion into the U.S., including a deal with Houston-based CenterPoint Energy, positions the company on the global stage.
Kate Lambridis, co-founder of Human Health, is innovating in digital healthcare. Alongside Georgia Vidler, Lambridis raised $10.5 million in 2022 – the largest seed round in Australia for an all-female founder team. Their app collects and organizes knowledge from doctors, scientists, and patients to provide personalized insights into chronic illness management. Currently free, the platform is poised to grow in a digital health industry projected to reach US$275 billion by 2028.
