SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Green Compute at the Edge Challenge [extended]
DESCRIPTION:This Challenge will identify technologies that set a new standard for sustainable compute infrastructure in regional Western Australia (WA)\, at scale\, with genuine benefit to the projects and communities that host them.\nSolutions are invited to match at least one of three use cases: \n\nCarbon-Free Energy\nWater-Positive Cooling\nRegional Integration & Benefits\n\n\n\n\nThe Green Compute at the Edge Innovation Challenge has been curated into two separate tracks\, each inviting different solutions based on technology readiness level (TRL) and geography. The Early disruptors track invites highly disruptive solutions with a strong connection to WA\, in their early stages of development (TRL 3-6)\, while the Near-deployment solutions track is intended for solutions that are ready for real-world piloting and offtake (TRL 7-9). \n\n\nFinalists shortlisted from both streams will progress to a live pitch and judging round during West Tech Fest in Perth in December 2026. \nLearn more about how to get involved here \nDeadline extended to 23 October 2026*

SUMMARY:What the Post Quantum Cryptography Transition Means for Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing is advancing\, and organisations need to start preparing for its impact on today’s encryption. \n\n\n\n\nPost-quantum cryptography (PQC) requires a multi-year business transition. Public-key cryptography is embedded across digital services\, identities\, cloud platforms\, devices\, software and supply chains. Meanwhile\, encrypted data may already be exposed to “harvest now\, decrypt later” attacks. \nIn collaboration with Canberra Cyber Hub and the South Australian Government\, Department of State Development\, this webinar brings together experts to explain the quantum threat in practical business terms and outline how organisations can begin preparing without waiting for Q-Day. \nMeet the speakers: \n\nRachel Noble\, former Director-General of ASD\nBob Oates\, Associate Director\, Cambridge Consultants\nEamonn Darcy\, CTO\, AQ Intelligence\n\nParticipants will gain insights into how to: \n\nEstablish clear ownership of the PQC transition\nIdentify and prioritise areas of risk\nEngage suppliers and technology partners\nDevelop an evidence-based migration roadmap\n\nThe post-quantum transition is a business challenge\, not only a technical one. \nRegister now to understand the risks and begin planning your organisation’s path forward.
