GLO is actively pursuing all commercial,
investment and academic
opportunities.
Why team with GLO?
The 21st century will see
explosive growth in intelligent devices: everything
will get smart.
GLO
’s innovative algorithm represents a radical breakthrough
in creating the software that drives this growth. This market is diverse and
extremely large. IDC estimated the embedded systems market as $1 trillion at
factory gate prices in 2000. The market is expanding rapidly as more
intelligence is built into a staggering array of devices; into the nascent
generation of domestic robots; into the very fabric of our buildings.
Systems in this
market can be large and complex. Harel State Charts are the only realistic way to
manage complexity on this scale and have been widely adopted as part of the
worldwide UML standard. Software quality is also a concern in this market: these
systems are business critical or even safety critical. By retaining the Harel
structures in the resulting code, the
GLO
algorithm enhances traceability and hence quality – not
just when the software is first written, but throughout its lifecycle.
Commercial
Opportunity:
Clearly, if
GLO
can penetrate even a small fraction of either market, it
will be a very successful enterprise. But we cannot expect to tackle the whole
market at once. Our strategic focus is on complex systems, in particular those
in telecommunications. We have already initiated discussions two well known
technology vendors, and have a conditional expression of interest from a
UK
based development laboratory. We will consider consultancy
& pilot projects, development partnerships and licensing. Ideally we are
looking for a well placed industry partner with the following characteristics:
 |
established product lines and marketing channels |
|
concerned with product delays and
inflexibility |
|
capable of funding a joint
development |
|
willing to take part in a new
technology |

Investment
Opportunity:
Amazing upside and patent protected
technologies should enthuse even the most jaded investor, GLO will consider
third party investment from qualified institutions. This model has low start up
costs and is highly scalable with limited resources. It is a common model in the
software industry and, in addition to license fees; it generates maintenance,
consulting and bespoke development revenues. Ideally we are looking for
investors with the following characteristics:
|
established portfolio and
investment record |
|
experienced in software and
hardware investing |
|
capable of investing $1mln plus |
|
capable presenting commercial
opportunities |

further, please CONTACT Michael Tanaka.
Academic
Opportunity:
GLO Ltd was founded on more than just
embedded technologies. We require technology validation and research assistance
on a variety of related software technologies. Our current interest is in
establishing a research partnership with an academic institution. We would
welcome inquiries from the following:
|
establised academic institution |
|
specialised in RTOS, process
control, advanced IDEs and associated tools |
|
capable of hosting a development
team |
