- Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX:SOR) is an Australia-based pooled development fund that operates as a venture builder, generating and funding innovative projects by combining teams of scientists and innovators in the technology and resources sectors. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Subiaco, Western Australia, the company focuses on high-growth Australian SMEs, offering investors tax-free capital gains under the Federal Government Pooled Development Fund program. Its core segments include Resources, encompassing exploration for critical metals such as rare earths and rare metals in projects like Maria Resources in the Madura Province (Nullarbor, WA), Officer Basin, Conglomerate Gold, and Golden Blocks; and Technology, featuring nanocube technology, robotics and AI solutions including the Autonomous Security Vehicle (ASV) developed in collaboration with Honeywell for correctional facilities, stealth technologies, and self-charging battery innovations.
In the Technology segment, Strategic Elements develops Energy Ink, a graphene oxide-based liquid ink that harvests electrical energy from atmospheric humidity or skin moisture to power devices, including recent advancements toward wearable electronics, Bluetooth sensors, and goals for electric vehicle charging; it also pursues moisture-generated electricity exceeding solar power density, with prototypes achieving ultra-stable voltage and milliamps output. The company provides intellectual property protection, incubation, scale-up, and partnering services to its ventures, targeting markets in advanced materials, battery technology, autonomous systems, and critical minerals for batteries and clean energy applications, primarily within Australia.
Recent developments include a July 2025 strategic capital raising and multiple Appendix 3Y notices in June 2025 for securities issuance, alongside quarterly updates in July, April, and October 2024 reporting progress on Energy Ink automation and large-scale cell-to-sheet production programs launched in October 2024. In 2024, the company advanced its moisture energy pathway, achieving key milestones like powering wearables and sensors from ambient moisture, while continuing the Honeywell partnership for ASV robotics initiated in 2022. Strategic Elements reported a net loss of $2.56 million for the year ending June 30, 2025, reflecting ongoing R&D investments in these high-potential technologies.
