SUMMARY:SHIELD CRC Industry Workshop - Online
DESCRIPTION:Australia is increasingly reliant on precise and secure Positioning\, Navigation and Timing (PNT)\, and that dependency is becoming a vulnerability. \nFrom banking and energy to transport and emergency services\, our critical systems depend on satellite- based positioning and timing\, mostly from foreign-operated Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like GPS. These signals are unprotected\, unverified\, and easily disrupted by interference\, cyberattack\, or space weather. As digital transformation accelerates and systems become more autonomous and interconnected\, the consequences of a PNT failure multiply risking blackouts\, communication loss\, navigation failures\, and financial disruption. \nThe SHIELD CRC can change this: Together we can build a sovereign\, resilient\, and secure PNT ecosystem for Australia – one that detects threats\, withstands interference\, and recovers quickly so that business continuity\, public safety and economic stability are not left vulnerable to forces beyond our control. \nThe outputs of the CRC will improve productivity and business continuity\, simulate new industry growth and strengthen sovereignty national security. \n

SUMMARY:Morning Startup F*ups! A West Tech Fest Special!
DESCRIPTION:It’s West Tech Fest week — the one time of year every founder pretends they’re well-rested\, well-funded\, and definitely not three bad decisions away from shambles. \nSo\, to honour the truth behind the theatre\, Morning Startup is proudly hosting: \nThis is a morning dedicated to the beautiful disasters: The launches that face-planted\, the “oops” moments that became full-blown fires\, and the brilliant ideas that absolutely never should’ve seen daylight. \nIt’s all the messy\, unfiltered reality that usually gets left out of keynote presentations\, served up with humour\, honesty\, and just enough self-awareness to make us all feel better about our own questionable decisions.
