Ian Kilpatrick has departed Nuvias and set up a new venture designed to encourage children into STEM careers.
Kilpatrick co-founded Wick Hill in 1978 before it was flogged to Rigby Group as a $150m-revenue cybersecurity VAD in 2015.
His next venture is designed to encourage young people into STEM careers, with a focus on primary schools and particularly getting more girls and minorities involved in science and engineering.
The business is called STEM Generations and will sell workstations into primary and secondary schools to encourage adoption of STEM learning into curriculums, where Kilpatrick says where investigative science has lagged since it was removed from SATs in 2009
