SUMMARY:Green Compute at the Edge - Challenge Launch & Sundowner
DESCRIPTION:GreenTech Hub is launching its next Innovation Challenge\, Green Compute at the Edge: Sustainable digital infrastructure from regional WA to the world.\nOn September 2 the official Challenge statement will launch in Perth and submissions will open. We will be asking innovators from around the world to share their solutions in response to use cases informed by WA’s industry around what it will take to realise sustainable\, green compute infrastructure for regional WA. Importantly\, we’re asking what must these projects look like to be delivered at scale and with genuine benefit to the communities that host them? \nJoin us for an evening to hear about the Innovation Challenge\, the regional WA opportunities we’re solving for\, hear from past Challenge Champions\, and explore how you could get involved. If you’re someone developing solutions\, seeking solutions\, or interested in collaborating\, or joining us from the wider ecosystem\, we’re looking forward to welcoming you. \nPlease note this event is for the in-person launch in Perth. \nFor those who are joining us regionally or not able to join us on the day\, please register for the online launch on September 4 here: https://events.humanitix.com/online-challenge-launch-green-compute-at-the-edge

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.
