Coordinating work
An application could bring people, tasks and shared information together so a team can organise its work and follow through on decisions.
Software & Platforms
Software for work and everyday life.
Software shapes how people work, access services and organise everyday life. Our focus spans products for businesses and consumers, including platforms built around the needs of particular industries.
The opportunity
Start with the people using it.
Software earns its place by helping someone do something that matters to them. Understanding their work, the information they need and the services they depend on is the starting point for a useful product.
We look for opportunities to build software businesses around lasting needs. That includes applications used directly by people and platforms that help organisations provide services, coordinate work or reach their customers.

Clinical applications call for evidence, careful evaluation and appropriate human oversight. The intended purpose and the people using a product should shape how it is developed and assessed.
Illustrative applications
How it could be used.
Examples of possible applications
of this field.
Connecting services
A digital platform could help people find relevant providers, arrange a service and keep track of what happens next.
Supporting healthcare
A healthcare platform could organise information for a clinician, support patient follow-up or help a care team manage its work.
Enabling connected life
How the fields work together.
Software turns underlying technology into services people can use. A product may draw on infrastructure, communications, AI or energy systems while remaining a business with its own customers and purpose.
