SUMMARY:State of Startup Funding Roundtable (invite only)
DESCRIPTION:The State of Startup Capital in WA: in a state awash with money\, why is “access to capital” still not solved? \nWestern Australia has no shortage of wealth\, yet startups make up a tiny proportion of their investment portfolios (about 0.4%). Do they need educating on ESIC? Furthermore\, WA startups attract very little Australian venture capital. Around 2%. \n\nOur next StartupWA Roundtable brings founders\, investors and ecosystem builders together to work out why\, and what we can actually change. In a pre-event survey\, your responses will directly inform the focus areas and discussion points for the upcoming ‘State of Startup Capital in WA’ Roundtable on 12th October 2026. Take the survey to apply to attend the (invite only) roundtable. We want to make sure we get a good mix of investors\, entrepreneurs\, government\, etc\, in the room.\n\nRoundtable starts (sharp) at 3pm\, and concludes 5pm on Mon 12 Oct.

SUMMARY:Seeing Beneath the Surface: Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) from Ground-Based Systems to UAV Integration
DESCRIPTION:Seeing Beneath the Surface: Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) from Ground-Based Systems to UAV Integration\nA public lecture by Professor Marlene Harter\, Institute for Unmanned Aerial Systems\, Offenburg University. \nThis talk introduces the basic principles of GPR and explores selected applications based on recent research activities. Particular attention will be given to Step-Frequency Continuous-Wave (SFCW) radar\, illustrating how measurements over a wide frequency range can be used to obtain depth-resolved information. Building on ground-based GPR applications\, the presentation will explore the next step of taking GPR into the air using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Current research on the design and integration of GPR antennas for UAV platforms will be presented\, highlighting the potential of combining optimized antenna concepts\, radar sensing\, and autonomous aerial platforms for future subsurface exploration.

SUMMARY:Critical Minerals & Tailings Monthly Webinar
DESCRIPTION:How can the mining sector move beyond waste management and unlock greater value from the resources it already produces? \nIn this webinar\, Professor Päivi Kinnunen from VTT will explore how circular economy principles are transforming mining into a more sustainable\, resource-efficient and value-driven industry. The presentation will demonstrate how circular solutions can reduce waste\, recover critical raw materials and create new business opportunities from mining side streams. \nDrawing on lessons from commercial tailings reprocessing projects and emerging examples of tailings reuse and mineral residue upcycling\, Professor Kinnunen will highlight practical pathways for maximising resource recovery and extending the value of mined materials. A featured case will examine the extraction of critical raw materials from tailings\, showcasing the potential for previously discarded materials to become valuable resources for future supply chains. \nAttendees will gain insights into the technologies\, opportunities and challenges associated with advancing circularity in the mining sector\, and learn how innovative approaches can contribute to both environmental sustainability and economic resilience. \nProfessor Päivi Kinnunen is a Research Professor at VTT\, Finland’s Technical Research Centre. Her research focuses on the industrial circular economy\, valorisation of mining side streams\, process development and closing water loops. She hold a Doctor of Science in Technology and a Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration\, and is a member of the Finnish Expert Panel for Sustainable Development. \nThis webinar will be of interest to researchers\, industry professionals\, government representatives and students interested in the future of sustainable mining\, critical minerals and circular economy innovation.

SUMMARY:Australians Investing in Women Roundtable [Perth]
DESCRIPTION:When Australians Investing In Women launched our 2025 strategic roadmap\, we made a clear commitment to strengthening gender lens investing in Australia and helping shift more capital towards women and girls. \nThis can’t be designed in isolation. Next month\, we will travel be travelling around the country for a series of Gender Lens Investing Consultation Roundtables. \nWe’ll be listening and learning from the people working across Australia’s investment ecosystem\, including investors\, institutions\, banks\, funders\, foundations and other capital allocators. We want to understand what’s already working. Where the barriers are. What investors need to confidently apply a gender lens. And where AIIW and the broader ecosystem can add the greatest value. \nThese conversations will help inform how we support the continued development of gender lens investing in Australia\, grounded in the experiences and needs of those doing\, exploring and influencing this work. \nOur role is not to have all the answers. It is to bring people together\, listen carefully and help turn collective knowledge into collective action. Registrations are now open\, with places limited in each city.

SUMMARY:What the Post Quantum Cryptography Transition Means for Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing is advancing\, and organisations need to start preparing for its impact on today’s encryption. \n\n\n\n\nPost-quantum cryptography (PQC) requires a multi-year business transition. Public-key cryptography is embedded across digital services\, identities\, cloud platforms\, devices\, software and supply chains. Meanwhile\, encrypted data may already be exposed to “harvest now\, decrypt later” attacks. \nIn collaboration with Canberra Cyber Hub and the South Australian Government\, Department of State Development\, this webinar brings together experts to explain the quantum threat in practical business terms and outline how organisations can begin preparing without waiting for Q-Day. \nMeet the speakers: \n\nRachel Noble\, former Director-General of ASD\nBob Oates\, Associate Director\, Cambridge Consultants\nEamonn Darcy\, CTO\, AQ Intelligence\n\nParticipants will gain insights into how to: \n\nEstablish clear ownership of the PQC transition\nIdentify and prioritise areas of risk\nEngage suppliers and technology partners\nDevelop an evidence-based migration roadmap\n\nThe post-quantum transition is a business challenge\, not only a technical one. \nRegister now to understand the risks and begin planning your organisation’s path forward.
