Steve Dunn

CEO/Director, Digital Keys

Steve’s dislike for metal keys began when he was an Asset Manager in a Local Government in South Australia. Managing metal key access to community centres, sports centres, youth centres, libraries, art galleries etc, for staff, volunteers, and different community groups was time-consuming, troublesome, and insecure. The Local Government never knew how many copies of metal keys were floating around in the community. Steve has a Masters of Business Administration and a degree in Town Planning. For the last 7 years Steve has been managing a start-up called Digital Keys which has developed and sold a number of access control products including digital keys apps, self web-check-in for hotels, and Software Development Kits for smart locks. Over the last two years Digital Keys has developed a complete end-to-end NB IoT smart access control system and is selling the product in Europe to offices, security companies and construction companies.
