SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Supercharge Australia Innovation Challenge #4
DESCRIPTION:EnergyLab are seeking visionary startups building scalable\, sustainable technologies along the lithium battery value chain for Australia and globally as we launch the fourth annual Supercharge Australia Innovation Challenge.\nGlobal demand for lithium-ion batteries is set to grow rapidly over the next decade\, driven by the electrification of transport\, the expansion of stationary energy storage\, and the global push to build more resilient clean energy supply chains. As demand accelerates\, so too does the need for innovative solutions across the entire lithium battery value chain. Supercharge Australia — a collaboration between EnergyLab and New Energy Nexus — is building a thriving ecosystem for lithium battery innovation\, enabling greater value capture across the supply chain and supporting Australian startups to scale locally and globally. \nSince launching\, Supercharge Australia has supported 50 startups\, with participating companies raising more than A$200 million. In Supercharge Australia Innovation Challenge #4\, we’re seeking the next generation of Australian battery innovators ready to unlock new growth\, partnerships and market opportunities. \nAbout the program\n\n\nA 7-week highly personalised acceleration experience will be undertaken by a cohort of 8-12 startups. Following the support offered during the challenge\, startups will meet with a panel of highly qualified Australian and international judges for a pitch\, interview and Q&A. At the Supercharge Australia Innovation Challenge Awards\, the startups will pitch to an audience filled with active participants in the ecosystem with the group of exceptional startups announced as the winners.

SUMMARY:Australia-Germany Hydrogen and Energy Forum
DESCRIPTION:Australia–German Hydrogen and Energy Forum: Research and industry hand in hand sends a strong signal for international cooperation in the field of hydrogen and sustainable energy. The forum brings together stakeholders from research\, industry and politics in Australia\, Germany and Saxony to tap into joint innovation potential\, promote technology transfer and develop new partnerships along sustainable energy and value chains. \nThe governments of Australia and of the Federal Republic of Germany share the common goal of reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and decarbonising their economies. Both countries are committed to developing a national green hydrogen economy. The joint long-term goal is to make green hydrogen economically viable. Australia and Germany therefore support the establishment of a global green hydrogen economy. This opens up a wide range of opportunities for German companies to build up business with partners from Australia\, for example in the field of component manufacturing for fuel cells and electrolysers\, Battery technologies\, in plant engineering and in the production\, transport and storage of green hydrogen.

SUMMARY:Green Compute at the Edge Challenge - Ask Me Anything Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about our Green Compute at the Edge Innovation Challenge\n\nOn September 2\, Greentech Hub opens submissions for their next Innovation Challenge\, Green Compute at the Edge: Sustainable digital infrastructure from regional WA to the world.\nIf you’re interested in learning more about the Green Compute at the Edge Innovation Challenge\, join online on September 9 for an Ask Me Anything session with the GreenTech Hub team. We’ll walk through the submission process\, key dates and eligibility\, judging criteria\, and our submission platform Impact Forge\, before opening the floor for your questions. Whether you have your solution ready to deploy\, or questioning whether this might be a Challenge for you\, this is your chance to get clarity and make an informed decision. \n  \nWhat is an Innovation Challenge? What is this Challenge about? \nGreenTech Hub operates on an Innovation Challenge model\, which means we take themes to industry to discover the problems and constraints around technology adoption that moves WA closer to achieving goals around decarbonisation\, biodiversity loss\, and circular economy. \nThe Green Compute at the Edge Innovation Challenge explores the opportunity to build and deploy digital infrastructure\, including data centres\, to enable green compute in regional Western Australian contexts (such as Western Australia’s Mid West). The Challenge’s WA-specific use cases will be shared with innovators on September 2nd. These will define the scope of high-impact technologies sought\, with our ambition is to see growth and deployment opportunities for high impact technologies across WA. \nAfter submissions open\, what’s next in the Challenge program? \nAfter the launch of the Challenge on September 2nd\, submissions will be open for 6 weeks\, during which we invite innovators to submit their solutions in response to the use cases we have proposed. During this time we will host an online launch (September 4 for those who can’t join in person)\, and the supporting Ask Me Anything webinar to answer questions about the Innovation Challenge process. \nWhy participate? \nThrough this challenge\, the GreenTech Hub\, in partnership with industry and government\, will: \n\nTest solutions with real industry partners and real-world use cases  ; Provide access to validation\, performance data\, and expert feedback  ; Support the development of prototypes and pilot projects  ; Enable influence on standards\, insurance\, and compliance pathways  ; Facilitate connections with potential customers and early adopters  ; and Strengthen commercial and deployment pathways in WA.
