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:HILT CRC Public Webinar: Decarbonising alumina – AlumiNEXT™ and future pathways
DESCRIPTION:Join HILT CRC for a webinar on alumina decarbonisation\, featuring an update on RP1.013 Alumina refineries’ next-generation transition (AlumiNEXT™) Project and a broader discussion of the technologies\, integration challenges and industry priorities shaping the transition to low-carbon alumina.\nAlumiNEXT™ is focused on two major emissions-reduction pathways for alumina refining: achieving low- or zero-emissions steam generation and recovery within the Bayer Process\, and decarbonising calcination through hydrogen\, electrification and other low-carbon heat options. \nA/Prof. Woei Saw (Adelaide University)\, AlumiNEXT™ research leader\, will present a project update\, including recent progress across reactor design\, modelling\, steam recovery\, calcination studies and industry-led integration priorities. Prof. Gus Nathan (Adelaide University and HILT CRC Research Director) will provide a technical perspective on the current status and future of alumina decarbonisation\, considering how emerging technologies can be combined into practical refinery transition pathways. \nFrom an industry perspective\, Emilio Pai (Emirates Global Aluminium) will discuss EGA’s activities and priorities as a producer and user of alumina\, and Marghanita Johnson (CEO\, Australian Aluminium Council) will provide a broader view of the sector’s decarbonisation challenges and opportunities. \nThe session will explore what is technically promising\, what still needs to be de-risked\, and how industry\, researchers and technology providers can work together to bridge the gap to low-carbon alumina processing.
