SUMMARY:From Lab to Launch: Ablano's Nanomaterials in the New Space Economy
DESCRIPTION:Discover how WA-developed nanomaterials are moving from the laboratory into real-world space missions\, with Ablano and leading researchers.\nJoin WA Space Forum and Ablano for an inside look at the development and first spaceflight demonstration of Ablano’s boron nitride nanomaterial. \nRecently launched aboard a suborbital rocket from northern Sweden\, experimental panels coated with different concentrations of the material travelled to an altitude of 270 kilometres\, spending approximately six and a half minutes above the Kármán line before being recovered near Kiruna. \nThe panels have now returned to Australia for analysis at The University of Western Australia\, providing researchers with real-world data on how the material performs through the extreme conditions of launch and atmospheric descent. \nHear directly from the team behind the technology about the science of boron nitride nanomaterials\, how the flight experiment was developed\, what they hope to learn from the returned samples\, and the potential applications for more durable\, lightweight spacecraft and reusable launch systems. \nThe discussion will also explore the broader opportunity for Australian-developed advanced materials to become part of the global space supply chain.

SUMMARY:Enhancing productivity of Australian food and agriculture through value-added processing
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s agricultural industries have remained internationally through continuous innovation resulting from joint industry- and government-funding as well as the willingness of Australian farmers to adopt new innovations. However\, Australia’s agricultural and food sectors increasingly face declining rates of profitability growth\, rising costs\, volatile markets\, and vulnerable supply chains. Diversifying revenue streams through value-added processing is a business imperative\, and a matter of national economic security. \nGlobal demand for sustainable\, high-value food\, materials and energy creates a unique opportunity. By leveraging our strengths\, Australia has the potential to generate economic\, environmental and social benefits positioning us at the forefront of the global bioeconomy. \nIn the third webinar in ATSE’s Beyond the Bite series\, we will hear from experts on how we can support the innovation system across the agricultural and food sectors to increase productivity\, profitability\, and sustainability.

SUMMARY:LESI WEBINAR: IP Valuation from Theory to Practice
DESCRIPTION:IP Valuation from Theory to Practice\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLES USA & Canada\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis 50-minute webinar will explore the strategic importance of intellectual property (“IP”) valuation and the wide range of business circumstances in which understanding the economic value of IP can inform better decision-making.\nThe first half of the program will examine the growing importance of intangible assets\, the principal types of IP\, and how valuation can support investment prioritization\, resource allocation\, and optimization of IP portfolios\, while addressing common misconceptions about what actually drives IP value. The second half will focus on the practical applications of IP valuation across mergers and acquisitions\, licensing and commercialization\, litigation and dispute resolution\, and financing and capital-raising activities. Throughout the discussion\, the presenters will distinguish economic value from concepts such as development cost\, patent quantity\, technological strength\, and legal validity\, while highlighting how valuation principles intersect with licensing strategy and damages analyses. The program will conclude with practical perspectives on common misconceptions surrounding IP valuation and how licensing professionals and valuation experts can work together more effectively to support commercialization\, negotiations\, and strategic decision-making.

SUMMARY:LESI WEBINAR: Brand Expansion & Licensing
DESCRIPTION:Brand Expansion & Licensing Part 8 – Optimization\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLES USA & Canada\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat actually makes a brand “own-able\,” and why does it matter more than almost anything else when you’re deciding how far to expand? \nIn this session (hosted by LES USA-Canada)\, Pete Canalichio (Founder and Managing Partner\, Brandalive) will unpack the LASSO Framework’s Own-ability pillar through real cases like Louis Vuitton’s trademark battle with My Other Bag and Coca-Cola’s “Share a Coke” campaign\, then dig into the three paths brands actually use to grow: franchising\, M&A\, and co-branding\, with lessons from Subway\, Disney/Marvel\, and BMW x Louis Vuitton along the way. \nWhether you’re weighing how to protect your brand’s identity or actively exploring your next expansion move\, you’ll walk away with a sharper framework for making that call.
