SUMMARY:Idea to Business : Begin with the End In Mind (workshop)
DESCRIPTION:From Idea to Business: Begin with the End in Mind\nMost innovators end up pitching an idea\, not a business. The idea is often excellent. But an idea is not something a customer can buy\, an investor can back\, or a partner can rely on – and the gap between the two is where most good ideas stall. Closing that gap is not one big leap. It is a handful of first steps\, taken in the right order.\nThis 90-minute workshop is for innovators and early-stage founders who have an idea and are trying to figure out how to convert it to a business. \nWhat we’ll cover\n\nBasics: Why being SMART matters and the dangers of assumptions.\nUnderstanding what you want\, and how that shapes the business: Your personal goals dictate the form your business should take. Licensing\, lifestyle business\, high-growth venture\, or something else – each suits a different founder. Get this wrong and you will spend years building something you do not want.\nThe three pillars of a credible business: Unfortunately\, it’s not just about your tech\, or your customers\, or how you’ll deliver. It’s about all these and how they interact.\nBringing it together: It’s action plan time! Identify the key actions you need to take over the next 100 days\n\nWho should come\nInnovators\, technical founders\, and anyone with an idea they are serious about. No business background assumed. No jargon\, no consultant speak.

SUMMARY:Future Textiles CRC Industry Workshop WA
DESCRIPTION:About the Future Textiles CRC \nAustralia is a major producer of high-quality natural fibres\, yet much of this value is exported before downstream processing\, while most finished textile products are imported. Domestic manufacturing capability has declined\, supply chains are fragmented\, and Australia lacks sufficient scale-up\, sorting and recycling capability to capture emerging opportunities in advanced fibres\, technical textiles\, traceability and circular business models. \nThe Future Textiles CRC will provide a national platform connecting fibre producers\, manufacturers\, designers\, brands\, retailers\, recyclers\, researchers\, governments and communities to build a more competitive\, advanced\, circular and resilient Australian textile system. It will support innovation across the full value chain\, from fibre production and manufacturing through to use\, repair\, reuse\, recovery and recycling\, while building the infrastructure\, workforce and collaborative capability needed to retain more value in Australia and create new commercial opportunities. \nThe aim of the industry workshop is to provide an overview of the Future Textiles CRC’s Research Programs – Creating Better Textiles\, Keeping Textiles in Use\, Recovering Textile Value – and seek industry’s inputs and feedback in shaping the research within the CRC. \nFuture Textiles CRC welcomes participation from industries whose interests align with one or more of the Research Programs and the role they can play to help position Australia as a high-value centre for circular textile innovation\, demonstration and commercialisation.

SUMMARY:IP Protection for Clinical Research & Health Innovations: What researchers need to know
DESCRIPTION:A strong clinical discovery can lose its path to translation if intellectual property is not considered early enough. Knowing when\, why and how to protect an idea is often the difference between a research project that stays in the lab and one that reaches patients. \nFeaturing Prof Victoria Cogger (CEO\, Sydney Biomedical Accelerator)\, Michael Powell (Commercialisation Manager\, WSLHD)\, Adam Wardell (Industry Growth Program Advisor) and Sylvie Tso (Partner\, Spruson & Ferguson)\, Cicada Innovations is delivering this session with Kids Research/SCHN for clinicians\, researchers and health innovators working on translational projects and emerging health technologies who want a clearer view of how IP protection fits into the work.\nIt covers the practical questions: when protection matters\, why it matters\, and how to approach it in a clinical research setting. Registration is open to all interested attendees. \nBy the end of the masterclass\, you’ll know: \n\nWhen and why to consider IP protection across clinical research\, translational projects and emerging health technologies\nHow clinicians and researchers can approach IP decisions in practice\nThe answers to your live questions during the Q&A\n\nWho it’s for: Clinicians\, researchers\, allied health staff and hospital staff looking to commercialise their research from the public hospital system.

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.

SUMMARY:Vasse workshop: Are you building a credible business?
DESCRIPTION:Credible business aren’t credible by chance or luck. Credible businesses are built with hard work on solid foundations\, minimising wasted effort and money on the way. \nAll credible businesses balance the three pillars\, Product (will it work?)\, Customers (who will buy it?) and Commercialisation (how do we deliver it). It’s not easy because you change one and the others change too. \nThis 90-minute workshop is for innovators and early-stage founders who want to ensure they understand the key concepts and how to balance them to ensure they ‘re building a solid foundation to make their business credible.\nLearn more and register here
