SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Green Compute at the Edge Challenge [extended]
DESCRIPTION:This Challenge will identify technologies that set a new standard for sustainable compute infrastructure in regional Western Australia (WA)\, at scale\, with genuine benefit to the projects and communities that host them.\nSolutions are invited to match at least one of three use cases: \n\nCarbon-Free Energy\nWater-Positive Cooling\nRegional Integration & Benefits\n\n\n\n\nThe Green Compute at the Edge Innovation Challenge has been curated into two separate tracks\, each inviting different solutions based on technology readiness level (TRL) and geography. The Early disruptors track invites highly disruptive solutions with a strong connection to WA\, in their early stages of development (TRL 3-6)\, while the Near-deployment solutions track is intended for solutions that are ready for real-world piloting and offtake (TRL 7-9). \n\n\nFinalists shortlisted from both streams will progress to a live pitch and judging round during West Tech Fest in Perth in December 2026. \nLearn more about how to get involved here \nDeadline extended to 23 October 2026*

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Propel Accelerator Cohort 1
DESCRIPTION:Applications for Propel Cohort 1 close this Friday\, 25 September. \nFor most ocean ventures\, getting the technology to work is only part of the job. The harder part is commercial: finding the customer who has the problem\, moving a pilot over the line\, and knowing the key people\, enablers and potential challenges before you enter a new market. \nPropel is a six-month accelerator for ocean technology ventures with validated solutions that are preparing for growth\, industry pilots or capital raising.\nVentures get direct connections to industry partners and potential customers across ports\, subsea operations\, autonomous systems\, ocean data and maritime logistics\, along with warm introductions to Australian and international investors. Support covers customer acquisition strategy\, pilot structuring\, procurement engagement and investor readiness. \nThere’s no fixed curriculum. Propel is tailored to each company\, with support shaped around where the business is at and what it needs to move to the next stage. On top of that\, companies take part in two public industry and investor showcases and get supported pathways into export markets. \nWe’re looking for ventures in seven categories: \n→ Autonomous and unmanned systems\n→ Port and coastal infrastructure\n→ Underwater and subsea technologies\n→ Propulsion and energy systems\n→ AI\, data and decision support\n→ Logistics\, sustainment and supply chain\n→ Oceanography and environmental monitoring \nVentures can apply from WA\, elsewhere in Australia\, or overseas.

SUMMARY:AIMI: Certified Innovation Professional (CIP) Programme
DESCRIPTION:Certified Innovation Professional (CIP) Programme — Expressions of Interest Now Open\nExpressions of Interest are now open for the next intake of the Certified Innovation Professional (CIP) Programme\, delivered by the Australian Innovation Management Institute (AIMI) in partnership with the Global Innovation Management Institute (GIMI). \nMost organisations do not struggle with ideas.

The CIP Programme is designed to professionalise how innovation gets done—so leaders and teams can deliver outcomes with rigour\, pace\, and accountability. \nWhy CIP\n\nGrounded in GIMI’s globally recognised innovation management framework and toolset—widely regarded as global best practice for building repeatable\, measurable innovation capability across organisations.\nISO 56001 aligned\, supporting capability consistent with the emerging global standard for Innovation Management Systems.\n\nWhat past participants said (AIMI inaugural cohort\, 2025)\n\n“GIMI’s Certified Innovation Professional courses (delivered by AIMI) put participants in an engaging and practical learning environment… You learn and deliver at the same time with others. A brilliant way to learn and to test how the GIMI tools can be applied in a real-world sense for practical outcomes.”— Sean Webb\, Manager – Innovation and Partnerships\, CBH Group \n\n\n“I participated… hoping to learn methods to continue my innovation efforts in a consistently scalable and repeatable manner\, and the GIMI frameworks provide exactly that… Repeatable and scalable.”— Eric Berrill\, Co-Founder & Chief Innovation Officer\, núaTECH \n\nWho it’s for\n\nInnovation and transformation leaders and practitioners\nStrategy\, PMO\, product\, digital\, and operations leaders\nEmerging innovation champions who need a solid toolkit and common language\n\nWhat you’ll get\n\nPractical tools and methods you can apply immediately\nA structured approach to building innovation capability (not just running projects)\nA globally recognised credential that signals professionalism in innovation\n\nExpressions of Interest are now open. If you’re ready to move beyond innovation activity and build a system that delivers outcomes\, register your interest for the next intake.
