SUMMARY:WiTWA Breakfast | How Founders Turn Data into Equity with Pia Turcinov AM
DESCRIPTION:Start your morning with meaningful connections\, fresh perspectives\, and practical insights from one of Western Australia’s most respected leaders in innovation and venture capital.\nMoats\, Not Pitfalls: How Founders Turn Data into Equity with Pia Turcinov AM\nData is often a startup’s hidden superpower—but without the right strategy\, it can quickly become a compliance liability rather than a competitive advantage. \nIn this practical breakfast session\, Pia Turcinov AM\, General Partner at Fund WA\, shares an investor’s perspective on what makes data truly investable. Rather than a technical deep dive\, Pia explores the difference between building a strong data moat that protects your market position and falling into common early pitfalls that can quietly erode business value. \nWhether you’re building a startup\, leading innovation within an organisation\, working with data\, or simply curious about how investors think\, you’ll leave with practical insights into protecting your ideas\, strengthening your business\, and creating long-term value.

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.

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.
