SUMMARY:GRDC NGN Agricultural Connectivity Out-of-the-Box
DESCRIPTION:Growers across all three GRDC regions report operating in “digital darkness”\, limiting their ability to use telematics\, automation\, and data-driven tools.

SUMMARY:Non-Coding AI Use : An easy way to kill your startup
DESCRIPTION:AI is now the cheapest advisor in the room – and that’s exactly the problem. \nEarly-stage founders are increasingly turning to AI for the advice they can’t yet afford: drafting legal agreements\, preparing patent applications\, working through R&D tax claims\, setting up company structures. Used well\, with the right expertise behind it\, AI is a powerful tool. Used without the knowledge to spot when it’s wrong\, it’s a fast and expensive way to do real damage to your startup. \nJoin Experia Growth and our expert sponsors for a sharp\, one-hour lunchtime session on where non-coding AI use goes wrong – and what to do instead. \nThis is for early-stage and aspiring founders who are already leaning on AI to fill the gaps\, and want to understand the risks before they become expensive.

SUMMARY:Founders Across Borders: Why Global from Day One (and what that means)
DESCRIPTION:​Most founders treat “going global” as a milestone they’ll deal with later. By the time they get there\, the product\, the team\, and the company are already built around one market — and changing that is expensive\, sometimes impossible without starting over.\n​This session makes the case for the opposite approach: building global from day one\, before you think you need to. \n​What you’ll learn: Why “initial market” is a more useful mental model than “home market”\, and what changes when you adopt it. | ​How product\, team\, and culture decisions made in the first few months determine how hard international expansion will be later. | ​The legal and entity structure decisions that are nearly impossible to undo once made. | What fundraising looks like when you’re building for multiple markets from the start. | ​A worked example of a company that built global from very early — and what it cost them. \n​Who should attend: ​Early-stage founders who suspect international expansion is in their future\, even if it’s not imminent. | ​Founders who have already made early decisions (team\, tools\, entity structure) and want to know what to revisit before it’s too late. | ​Anyone building a company they don’t want confined to one market. | ​You’re still working full-time\, curious\, with an idea you haven’t committed to yet.

SUMMARY:MRIWA WEBINARS: CRITICAL MINERALS & TAILINGS VALORISATION SERIES
DESCRIPTION:Resilient Value Chains for the Energy Transition: A Circular Economy approach on Critical Battery Materials with Dr Stéphanie Riché & Dr Caroline Celle\nJoin us for our new international monthly webinar series where we speak with researchers from around the globe who are advancing the fields of critical minerals and tailing valorisation. \nThe energy transition is known to be intensive in critical raw materials and must not lead to replacing the current dependence on fossil fuels with a dependence on raw materials. It must be based on assumed sovereignty over the necessary materials and a quest toward resource efficiency at each stage of a circular economy of materials. This presentation will first illustrate how supply/demand and supply chain risk analysis can support national and European strategies. It will also illustrate how key-enabling technologies can facilitate the transformation of linear material value chains into circular ones. \nThe second part of this presentation will focus on the circularity of battery materials. The replacement of critical materials for battery development is strategically addressed by developing new post Li-ion chemistries without Ni\, Co\, Li\, and Cu\, such as Na or K-ion batteries. Additionally\, the reuse of recycled inputs from production scraps or end-of-life batteries is being explored. Intensive research is ongoing to improve the electrochemical performance of high-energy-density batteries and to develop low-cost\, low-environmental-impact batteries. After a brief introduction to CEA’s R&D facilities\, the presentation will focus on the reuse of purified black mass lixiviates for the synthesis of advanced cathode active materials (PCAM and CAM). It will also evaluate the impact of the nature of impurities on overall performance.
