SUMMARY:From Lab to Launch: Ablano's Nanomaterials in the New Space Economy
DESCRIPTION:Discover how WA-developed nanomaterials are moving from the laboratory into real-world space missions\, with Ablano and leading researchers.\nJoin WA Space Forum and Ablano for an inside look at the development and first spaceflight demonstration of Ablano’s boron nitride nanomaterial. \nRecently launched aboard a suborbital rocket from northern Sweden\, experimental panels coated with different concentrations of the material travelled to an altitude of 270 kilometres\, spending approximately six and a half minutes above the Kármán line before being recovered near Kiruna. \nThe panels have now returned to Australia for analysis at The University of Western Australia\, providing researchers with real-world data on how the material performs through the extreme conditions of launch and atmospheric descent. \nHear directly from the team behind the technology about the science of boron nitride nanomaterials\, how the flight experiment was developed\, what they hope to learn from the returned samples\, and the potential applications for more durable\, lightweight spacecraft and reusable launch systems. \nThe discussion will also explore the broader opportunity for Australian-developed advanced materials to become part of the global space supply chain.

SUMMARY:How we can build a stronger sovereign manufacturing capability here in WA
DESCRIPTION:Whether it is scaling up\, transitioning innovations into production or\, continuous improvement\, the decision to invest in manufacturing equipment can often be daunting. Manufacturers may become stuck in indecision or incur unnecessary and avoidable costs. \nPlanning effectively is key to ensuring successful outcomes\, and whilst current tools are effective\, they are being replaced with more powerful tools that offer better results and therefore confidence. \nThis discussion will be to share the experiences & the fears of making those investment decisions and how Bosch Australia Manufacturing Solutions (BAMS) have supported businesses in this sector to:\n– Reduce risk.\n– Eliminate downstream error.\n– Make the decision to invest easier.\n– Limit unnecessary & unplanned costs.\n– Plan better.\n– Visual what production could look like.\n– Optimise product designs for ease of manufacture.\n– Offer manufacturing resource and know-how. \nBosch are known for successfully launching innovative products so\, this workshop will provide insights to the systems & tools that BAMS employ that provide manufacturers with a greater confidence when they are ready to scale up. \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nIf you are employed within either a start-up or\, an existing business\, who wish to introduce new products\, scale up or solve current production issues then this event is for you. \nIt is aimed for those who are planning their manufacturing strategies and need some reassurances around the decisions and investments that are to be made. This could be designers & technical personnel\, CEO’s\, COO’s\, and other executives employed within business operations. \nThese topics will also relate to existing manufacturing operations where production processes require improvement and the decision to invest is not so well defined. Participants will see examples of Lean Manufacturing exercises and the application of Digital Tools that BAMS use to help clients become more effective & efficient. \nCONFERENCE TOPICS & DEMOS:\nWe shall engage in a group discussion to share experiences and barriers\, followed by a short presentation covering the topics as described below:\n– The tension between Commercialisation and R&D.\n– Manufacturing Strategy – The what\, how and when.\n– The fear of automation & the barriers to investing.\n– Manufacturing resourcing & technical know-how.\n– Lean Manufacturing: Design for Manufacture\, Lean Line Design\, Value Stream Mapping.\n– The Bosch Production System.\n– Simulation Tools as a decision-making tool.

SUMMARY:ANFF-C webinar series: Manufacturing for Startups
DESCRIPTION:Experts from various sectors will discuss all considerations for early-stage companies that want to manufacture products.\nANFF-C is pleased to announce that Department of Education First Assistant Secretary for Research Dom English and Assistant Secretary Carolyn Shrives will present the second webinar of ANFF-C’s ‘Manufacturing for Startups’ seminar. \nMr English and Ms Shrives will provide their insights into The Australian Economic Accelerator\, one of the most novel schemes around research translation that has been initiated in the higher education sector. The Australian Government is investing $1.6 billion to accelerate reform in the higher education sector for the translation and commercialisation of university research through a new stage-gated funding program. Industry also has a major role to play in this new initiative with Gate 2 funding requiring industry support. \n\n\n\n\nAssistant Secretary Shrives is responsible for the development of the University Research Commercialisation Scheme and now the Australian Economic Accelerator (AEA) program. In her current role\, Carolyn is leading the work to implement the AEA which was a key component of the Action Plan. This follows on from her role working with the Expert Panel appointed by Government to provide advice on ways to help unlock the research potential within Australia’s university sector. The Action Plan\, which was developed from this work\, seeks to enhance the translation and commercialisation of research at Australian universities by funding translational research\, supporting partnerships between universities and businesses and building the workforce required to achieve these outcomes. \nMr Dom English has worked in the Australian Government for more than twenty years across a range of portfolios. This includes the Finance\, Immigration and Prime Ministers portfolio. Mr English joined the Department of Education in January 2014 as First Assistant Secretary in the Higher Education\, Research and International Group. He is currently responsible for policy and programs in the areas of research\, research infrastructure and research commercialisation. He has undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in economics. \n\nRegister your FREE spot HERE \n\n\n\nWebinar series contact: Dr John R Morrison\, E: john.morrison@anff.org.au \nANFF Eventbrite contact: Matthew Wright\, E: matthew.wright@anff.org.au
