SUMMARY:Real-time fundraising adventures with Drew Pflaum (SavvyWise)
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Drew Pflaum\, co-founder and CEO of SavvyWise\, will share a candid founder journey from idea to early traction\, including the lessons\, mistakes\, trade-offs\, and decisions that shaped the company’s first six months.\nIn July 2025\, SavvyWise was just an idea. By September\, the team had launched an MVP. By October\, they had their first paying customer. The months that followed brought a rapid series of milestones: winning the Venture UWA incubator\, passing $100k in sales\, completing several capital raises\, and seeing the company’s valuation grow across each round. \nBut behind those headline numbers is the more useful story: how the idea came together\, how the team found early customers\, what they learned from investors\, and how they managed the pressure of building while fundraising. \nAbout Drew:\nDrew Pflaum\, CPA\, is the co-founder and CEO of SavvyWise. Before starting SavvyWise\, Drew was a Director at Perth-based accounting firm Munro’s\, and brings a background in accounting\, advisory\, and business strategy to his work as a startup founder\, combining commercial experience with the hands-on realities of building a new company from scratch.

SUMMARY:Australia’s Environmental Data Mosaic: from complexity to national advantage
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s environmental evidence is expanding faster than our ability to assemble it. Satellites\, sensors\, ranger programs\, Defence monitoring and research infrastructures are generating unprecedented data. But fragmentation means critical insights remain locked in silos. \nMajor national decisions now depend on rapid\, trusted environmental intelligence. From the upcoming State of the Environment Report to Defence estate stewardship\, disaster‑risk planning and state land management\, organisations need data that is findable\, interoperable and ready for use at scale. \nThe cost of inaction is rising. Without a connected environmental data ecosystem\, Australia risks slower responses\, weaker accountability and missed opportunities to build sovereign capability in environmental intelligence. \nThis webinar brings together three speakers to confront a central question: how do we turn a fragmented environmental data landscape into a connected\, resilient\, national‑scale capability that serves reporting\, operations and long‑term stewardship? If you care about the long-term health of Australia’s land and the institutions that steward it\, this is a conversation you will not want to miss.

SUMMARY:Critical Minerals & Tailings Monthly Webinar (MRIWA)
DESCRIPTION:The transition towards a circular and low-carbon economy requires innovative and integrated approaches to secure the supply of critical raw materials (CRMs). This presentation will focus on the development of advanced process routes for CRM recovery from primary and secondary resources\, while ensuring the valorisation of all process streams across the value chain. The work covers a holistic approach that integrates resource pre-treatment\, hydrometallurgical processing\, separation and refining steps\, as well as the treatment and reuse of process waters. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of sustainable and efficient recovery strategies that maximise resource efficiency\, reduce chemical consumption\, and minimise waste generation. \nThe use case presented is centred on lithium extraction from spodumene as a representative primary resource. This case demonstrates a validated TRL 5 process concept for sustainable lithium recovery\, combining selective processing strategies with integrated residue management. In addition to lithium production\, the approach enables the valorisation of the remaining solid residues\, contributing to a more circular and resource-efficient flowsheet. \nAlthough the case study focuses on lithium\, the developed methodologies are transferable to other critical raw materials and are aligned with the increasing need for more sustainable mining and processing practices. Overall\, the presentation highlights how integrated process design can bridge efficiency\, sustainability\, and circularity in primary CRM production systems.

SUMMARY:Building and selling a product that didn’t have a category - with Michael Kuzma.
DESCRIPTION:Michael Kuzma spent more than seven years building robotic self-playing guitars before figuring out if anyone would actually want one. \nIn this session\, Michael will share the practical lessons learned while creating and selling a product that sits somewhere between robotics\, music\, engineering and art. Working largely solo from Perth\, he went from having no clear market\, to viral attention\, to thousands of low-quality enquiries\, and eventually to a small number of highly qualified buyers around the world. \nThe journey forced him to rethink pricing\, marketing\, storytelling\, and what a sustainable business actually looks like when your product does not fit neatly into an existing category. \nMichael will unpack how he turned polarising online attention into global exposure\, redesigned his sales process to filter serious buyers from curious onlookers\, and learned to position a strange\, high-end hardware/art product for international customers willing to pay for it.
