SUMMARY:From Prototype to Proof: How Startups De-Risk Design with Simulation
DESCRIPTION:In this practical\, demo-led session\, Dassault Systèmes will show how founders can shorten iteration cycles and de-risk performance by using simulation early in the design process—without turning engineering into a research exercise. \nThrough live demonstrations in robotics and aeronautics\, you’ll see how design changes translate directly into performance insights. You’ll also hear from iHawk Global\, a Dassault Systèmes startup client\, as they share the real challenge they faced\, how simulation changed their approach\, and the tangible outcomes they achieved. \nWhat attendees will gain\n\nA practical founder framework to reduce prototype loops and accelerate decision-making\nTwo live demos (robotics and aeronautics) showing design change → performance insight\nA real startup case study (iHawk) with lessons learned and key takeaways\nClear next steps to access startup guidance\, tools\, and discount pathways

SUMMARY:From IP to Investment: What Investors Look for in a Patent Portfolio
DESCRIPTION:The first session in Victorian Medtech Skills and Devices Hub’s 2026 Medtech Skills Online Spotlight Series\, this free lunchtime webinar will show you how investors assess your IP and how to position it to support funding. \nIf you’re developing a medtech idea\, securing investment depends on more than the innovation itself. Investors look closely at your patent position to assess risk\, ownership\, and commercial potential. \nThis session will show you what matters and how to avoid common IP gaps that can delay or block funding. You’ll learn how investors assess these key areas of your patent portfolio and what to prioritise.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: AusSRC HPC Funding Applications Close
DESCRIPTION:The Australian SKA Regional Centre (AusSRC) is proud to launch the Astronomy Resources for Industry Applications (ARIA) Program\, a new initiative designed to accelerate innovation through access to high-performance computing (HPC).\nAusSRC is Australia’s contribution to the international SKA Regional Centre Network (SRCNet). The SRCNet will support the global flow of data and processing needed for the SKA telescopes – the two most advanced radio telescopes in the world\, located in Australia and South Africa.\nOne of AusSRC’s goals is to support discovery and delivery of impact beyond radio astronomy. By working with industry to foster data-intensive innovations across sectors\, AusSRC aims to leverage astronomy capabilities to generate broad benefits to the Australian economy and community. \nThe ARIA Program has been established to provide Australian start-ups and small to medium businesses with access to HPC resources to enable innovation in products and services aligned with key technical priorities. \nFor the 2026 inaugural funding round\, AusSRC will support projects focused on: \n\nData Management\nData Visualisation\nData Compression\n\nWe are seeking applications from SMEs and start-ups that would benefit from HPC capability but face barriers accessing research-based or large-scale infrastructure schemes. \nApplications are open to organisations from any industry excluding astronomy that can demonstrate how covering HPC-related expenses would directly enable innovation in one or more of the priority areas. \nFor a full explanation of the ARIA Program\, please refer to the ARIA Program Guidelines and ARIA Program Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
