SUMMARY:2026 WA-Asia Business Forum: WA's Role in Asia's Energy Transition and Economic Future
DESCRIPTION:The WA-Asia Business Forum 2026 is a flagship event of the Western Australian Chinese Chamber of Commerce (WACCC). Held on Tuesday\, 4 August 2026 at Crown Perth\, the Forum convenes senior leaders from industry\, government\, and the international business community for a day of high-level discussion on the trade and investment relationship that continues to define Western Australia’s economic future: its engagement with Asia.\nThis year’s Forum is themed “WA’s Role in Asia’s Energy Transition and Economic Future”\, with the program anchored around two of the State’s most strategically significant sectors of engagement with the region: Mining and Energy. Both sit at the centre of the State Government’s Diversify WA priority framework\, and together they underpin Western Australia’s long-term commercial relationship with the Asia-Pacific. The program will examine the investment landscape across both sectors\, the government-to-government relationships that enable long-term supply agreements\, and the role of technology and artificial intelligence in reshaping how the State’s resources reach the region. \nThe Forum is where the conversations that shape Western Australia’s next decade of Asia-Pacific engagement take place. Its program combines keynote and panel discussions with structured networking\, giving delegates direct access to the industry and policy figures shaping these sectors. \nSince 1987\, WACCC has served as Western Australia’s longest-standing bridge between the State’s business community and Asia. The 2026 Forum is where that bridge continues to be built.

SUMMARY:Fast Doesn’t Mean Right: Product Thinking in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:AI has fundamentally changed the economics of innovation. We can generate ideas\, prototypes and working software in hours rather than months. But while our ability to build has accelerated dramatically\, our ability to make the right decisions has not.\nAs execution becomes cheaper\, judgement becomes the new competitive advantage. \nIn this thought-provoking session\, Philippe Delalande explores why the organisations that thrive in the age of AI won’t necessarily be those that build the fastest\, but those that consistently choose the right problems\, align people around a shared intent\, and turn technology into meaningful outcomes. \nDrawing on lessons from product strategy\, human-centred design and enterprise transformation\, Philippe shares practical approaches to improving discovery\, strengthening collaboration across disciplines\, and making better investment decisions from idea through to delivery. \nBecause in the age of AI\, building fast is no longer enough. The real advantage lies in building the right thing together.

SUMMARY:Defence Science Centre - CRG Application Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This session is intended for researchers and industry partners interested in developing Defence-relevant solutions that enhance operational resilience and sustainment capability in challenging and contested environments.\nThis workshop will provide an overview of the current CRG funding opportunity\, which focuses on Logistics Under Conflict. The grant seeks innovative research solutions to strengthen Defence’s ability to sustain operations in remote\, northern\, maritime\, austere and contested environments\, where supply chains\, infrastructure\, health support and decision-making may be disrupted by distance\, climate impacts or adversary action. \nParticipants will gain valuable insight into Defence priorities and funding requirements\, including how proposed projects can deliver measurable sustainment outcomes such as reducing resupply requirements\, improving logistics resilience\, accelerating decision-making\, enhancing infrastructure recovery\, extending the shelf life of critical supplies\, and strengthening treatment and support capabilities in the field. \nThe workshop will also examine the five grant research priority areas: \n\nDecision advantage under disruption\nPhysical infrastructure resilience\nDisrupted health support\nCritical supply sovereignty\, preservation and substitution\nDemand reduction at the point of need\n\nThe Collaborative Research Grant (CRG) supports cross-disciplinary collaboration between researchers and industry to address Defence Innovation\, Science and Technology (IS&T) priorities and contribute to Australian Defence Force (ADF) capability. Through the CRG\, the Defence Science Centre (DSC) works in partnership with the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) to enable the research and industry sectors to develop advanced and asymmetric capabilities in key technology areas. The program is jointly funded by the Western Australian Government and DSTG.

SUMMARY:Building for the future: Designing today's buildings for tomorrow's climate
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s buildings are designed and operated based on weather assumptions from the past\, but what happens when those assumptions no longer hold? The NESP Climate Systems Hub Building for the Future project is tackling this challenge head-on\, developing new future climate files that allow building simulation tools to model how structures will perform under the likely conditions of coming decades\, including under extreme conditions such as heatwaves. This will help us to understand the implications of our future climate for building thermal comfort\, energy use and peak demand. It represents a significant shift for the Australian building simulation industry\, paving the way for more climate-resilient\, efficient and future-ready design. \nThis panel discussion bringing together researchers and practitioners who have been directly involved in co-designing\, co-developing and testing these prototype files.\nYou’ll hear about the motivations underlying the project\, some of the challenges of co-design\, and the learnings from this work\, both for the scientists and for the practitioners. It’s a rare opportunity to hear how climate science is being translated into practical tools for building designers\, building simulation modellers\, assessors and policy-makers. \nThis work is complex problem solving: a chance to rethink how we plan for a changing climate and ensure Australia’s buildings are fit for the future.

SUMMARY:CSIRO Cybersecurity Seminar - The Autonomous Adversary: Red-Teaming in the Age of LLM Agents
DESCRIPTION:Presentation: CSIRO Cybersecurity Seminar – The Autonomous Adversary: Red-Teaming in the Age of LLM Agents\nWednesday 29 Jul 2026 | ONLINE | Dr. Mohammad Mamun\, Senior Research Officer in cybersecurity at the Digital Technology Research Centre\, National Research Council Canada. \nAbstract \nLLM agents are emerging as a new primitive for autonomous red teaming\, with the potential to support multi-step cyber operations such as attack planning\, adversary emulation\, and lateral movement. Recent advances in autonomous cyber evaluation\, including cyber-range assessments by the UK AI Security Institute and related research on agentic AI for cybersecurity\, have shifted attention from prompt-level misuse toward end-to-end operational capability in realistic environments. \nThis work examines the role of LLM agents as autonomous adversaries through controlled lateral-movement scenarios that capture key elements of advanced cyber operations under different levels of autonomy. The results highlight both the promise and the current limitations of LLM-based red teaming: although these systems can exhibit useful planning and adaptive behavior\, reliable execution remains constrained by brittle command invocation\, weak state tracking\, credential-handling failures\, and environmental instability. These findings underscore the need for rigorous evaluation methodologies\, realistic cyber-range benchmarks\, and stronger governance frameworks for increasingly capable autonomous cyber agents.
