SUMMARY:DEADLINE: West Tech Next Hackathon EOI
DESCRIPTION:Help shape the West Tech Next experience! \nWest Tech Next is the youth committee shaping West Tech Fest 2026 – and they’re building something huge: a hackathon-style event for Western Australians aged 18 to 25\, happening as part of WTF.\nIt is happening on Saturday 5 December. Before we finalise the participant experience\, we want to hear directly from the people it is being built for. \nWhat would make the day worth showing up for? What would you want to work on? What would you want to leave with? What could make it harder to take part? \nEOI closes Monday 14 September\, 5:00PM AWST. This short EOI takes around three minutes. Your answers will help shape the program\, challenge themes\, participant experience and the way we communicate the event.

SUMMARY:Grants\, Contracts & Commercialisation: Legal Essentials for Founders
DESCRIPTION:Securing funding and new commercial opportunities is exciting\, but the agreements founders sign early can have long-term implications for their business\, intellectual property and ability to grow. \n​Join Emma Walczak\, Principal of Trinitas Legal Services\, for a practical lunchtime workshop exploring the key legal considerations founders should understand when navigating grants\, commercial and collaboration agreements\, IP and commercialisation. \n​With more than 15 years’ experience advising businesses\, Emma will cut through the legal theory and focus on what founders actually need to know\, from understanding obligations attached to grant funding and spotting risky contract terms\, to protecting your ability to commercialise your ideas and knowing what is genuinely worth negotiating. \n​During the session\, you’ll learn how to identify common risks in funding and collaboration agreements\, navigate confidentiality and information-sharing requirements\, avoid unexpected financial or operational exposure\, and recognise legal or governance issues that could become barriers to future investment\, partnerships and growth. \n​This workshop is delivered by Spacecubed\, and designed for our current Sprint program cohorts including AI Founder Sprint\, City of Perth Sprint and AI Fellowship\, and is also open to founders and members of the wider community.
