SUMMARY:Powering Below: The Future of Subsea Energy
DESCRIPTION:Powering Below: The Future of Subsea Energy\nExploring the technologies\, infrastructure and partnerships shaping the next era of offshore energy systems. As global energy systems evolve\, the role of subsea infrastructure is becoming increasingly critical — from enabling offshore renewables to supporting the transition of traditional oil and gas operations. \nJoin CORE Innovation Hub and Subsea Energy Australia for a special CORE Connect event bringing together industry\, innovators and the broader ecosystem to explore what lies beneath the surface. \nThis session will unpack the technologies shaping subsea energy\, the infrastructure required to support it\, and the partnerships needed to deliver at scale. From electrification and remote operations to emerging opportunities in offshore wind\, carbon capture and subsea processing\, we will dive into the trends redefining the sector. \nExpect a dynamic discussion\, followed by audience Q&A and the opportunity to connect with others working across energy\, resources and technology.

SUMMARY:CSIRO Conversations: Quantum for Every Business
DESCRIPTION:Quantum is moving fast and it’s already creating real opportunities for Australian businesses. This event unpacks what’s real and what’s coming next.\nQuantum is at the same stage AI was a decade ago\, quietly moving from research labs into real world tools. This event helps industry understand what’s real\, what’s hype\, and where the near term opportunities lie and who can help. Where today’s computers check one option at a time\, quantum can explore many possibilities at once. That makes it powerful for decision making and resource management when it comes to things like routing trucks\, detecting minerals\, managing patients in a hospital\, securing communications or modelling new materials. \nQuantum is becoming practical and commercially relevant far sooner than most businesses expect. It’s already emerging in: \n\nSupply chains: quantum inspired optimisation is helping logistics companies reduce fuel use and manage disruptions.\nFinance: banks are exploring quantum safe encryption to protect transactions.\nQuantum sensing: ultra precise measurements for mining\, agriculture\, health and defence.\n\nOur expert panellists will translate a complex emerging technology into a grounded\, industry relevant discussion on: \n\nWhat quantum technologies can do today.\nWhat’s coming next.\nHow Australian businesses can prepare responsibly and competitively.\nHow quantum intersects with supply chain resilience\, national security\, and economic pressures.\n\nPre-submit your questions to the expert panellists ahead of the webinar
