SUMMARY:From innovation\, to industry\, to impact: Translating Digital Health R&D
DESCRIPTION:The rapid evolution of technology means digital health research is advancing fast. But too often\, it struggles to translate into real-world impact – falling flat in practice.\nWhat does industry need from researchers to make their discoveries work? Bringing together healthcare leaders with experience across R&D and implementation\, this webinar will reveal: what industry looks for in digital health research\, talent and partnerships | what makes (or breaks) the transition from research to real-world application | how to design research that is relevant\, scalable and implementation-ready | actions researchers can take to increase uptake of their work. \nIf you want your research to land beyond the lab\, this session will give you a clearer view of how to align with industry priorities and deliver impact where it matters. \nExperience insightful presentations followed by a panel and audience-led Q&A discussion.

SUMMARY:CSIRO Conversations: Quantum for Every Business
DESCRIPTION:Quantum is moving fast and it’s already creating real opportunities for Australian businesses. This event unpacks what’s real and what’s coming next.\nQuantum is at the same stage AI was a decade ago\, quietly moving from research labs into real world tools. This event helps industry understand what’s real\, what’s hype\, and where the near term opportunities lie and who can help. Where today’s computers check one option at a time\, quantum can explore many possibilities at once. That makes it powerful for decision making and resource management when it comes to things like routing trucks\, detecting minerals\, managing patients in a hospital\, securing communications or modelling new materials. \nQuantum is becoming practical and commercially relevant far sooner than most businesses expect. It’s already emerging in: \n\nSupply chains: quantum inspired optimisation is helping logistics companies reduce fuel use and manage disruptions.\nFinance: banks are exploring quantum safe encryption to protect transactions.\nQuantum sensing: ultra precise measurements for mining\, agriculture\, health and defence.\n\nOur expert panellists will translate a complex emerging technology into a grounded\, industry relevant discussion on: \n\nWhat quantum technologies can do today.\nWhat’s coming next.\nHow Australian businesses can prepare responsibly and competitively.\nHow quantum intersects with supply chain resilience\, national security\, and economic pressures.\n\nPre-submit your questions to the expert panellists ahead of the webinar

SUMMARY:Quantum Technology for Business webinar
DESCRIPTION:A practical briefing on one of the most significant emerging technologies in Australia\n\n\n\n\nJoin us online for a free one-hour webinar: Quantum Technology for Business: What It Is\, What’s Real Now\, and What It Means for You. \nThis session has been developed jointly by Australian Industry Group and Quantum Australia for business owners and executives who want to cut through the hype and understand what quantum technology actually means for their industry. \nQuantum technology is advancing rapidly\, and its implications for sectors including manufacturing\, defence\, logistics\, construction and critical infrastructure are real and near-term. Yet many business leaders remain uncertain about where to focus attention\, what risks and opportunities are genuine\, and how to engage with this emerging field now. This webinar is designed to give you a grounded\, practical briefing\, not a technology lecture. The program brings together leading voices across quantum science\, commercial deployment and industry adoption. \nThe session will cover three themes: \n\nQuantum fundamentals — what the technology is and isn’t\, and what it can actually do today\nCommercial realities — what’s available now\, what’s coming next\, and how to assess readiness and risk for your organisation\nIndustry adoption — what quantum means in practice for non-quantum businesses\, drawn from real-world experience\n\nYou will hear directly from each presenter what quantum technology means for businesses like yours — not just a summary of published research\, but practical insight you can act on. \nPresenters: \n\nJames Thomson\, Lead – Standard & Product Regulation\, Australian Industry Group\nFernando Guerra Alves\, Manager\, Strategic Partnerships Development and Projects\, Quantum Australia\nDr Marcus Doherty\, Co-Founder and CTO\, Quantum Brilliance\nAndrew Tingay\, Global Principal\, Advisory\, Jacobs\n\nThis webinar is complimentary and open to Australian Industry Group members and the public. Places are limited. We hope you will be able to join us for this practical briefing on one of the most significant emerging technologies for Australian industry.

SUMMARY:Off the Record | Real Stories of Medtech
DESCRIPTION:Ready to unwind after AusMedTech? Or couldn’t make it but still want to connect with the WA medtech community? This is the event for you. \nJoin us for a short\, lively panel hosted by Dr Michael Challenor\, where medtech founders share their real\, unfiltered “pound the table” moments – the highs\, the setbacks\, and everything in between. \nWe don’t often talk about failure in Australia\, but behind every “overnight success” is a story of persistence\, pivots and lessons learned. This is your chance to hear those stories\, stripped back and honest\, from those who’ve lived them. \nGrab a drink\, enjoy great food and music\, and settle into an evening of relaxed networking. Whether you’re a founder\, researcher\, investor or industry professional\, it’s the perfect setting to connect\, swap stories and meet others in the ecosystem. \nExpect a fun\, informal (and slightly chaotic) night that goes beyond the usual event format. Don’t miss it – secure your ticket now.
