This Blue Economy CRC webinar will present the findings of the project ‘Pre-conditions for the Development of Offshore Wind Energy in Australia’ in three work packages, outlining what it takes to build an offshore wind industry in Australia.
Including Q&A & facilitated by Professor Marcus Haward.
A premier economic event series culminating in a two‑day conference in Bunbury, 27–28 October 2026.
Where investors, industry and government connect on advanced manufacturing, energy, agritech and the circular economy.
Why attend:
Exploring 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.
Join 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.
This 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.
Expect a dynamic discussion, followed by audience Q&A and the opportunity to connect with others working across energy, resources and technology.
For Blue, City of Cockburn and support partners invite you to “Heading to the Horizon”, a showcase of emerging marine, maritime and naval innovations, and launch of new platforms and services for innovators, SMEs, corporates and investors.
This is your opportunity to see a vetted selection of the best innovations from the Cockburn instance of the Blue Gravity incubation program, and to get exclusive insight into the future support for ocean innovators, blue economy export market development and the best pathways and pipeline of ocean innovations.
Please arrive at 15:00 for networking before an official welcome at 15:30 followed by an hour of pitches, panel discussions and announcements, then networking from 16:30 to 17:00.
The Oceans of Data Conference is a national, one-day event bringing together researchers, industry and government to explore how data-driven approaches are reshaping ocean science, engineering and decision-making across Australia’s marine and offshore sectors.
Data-enabled advances in observation, modelling and analytics are transforming how we understand and work in the ocean environment. This conference provides a forum to share emerging capabilities, real-world applications and future opportunities at the intersection of ocean science and data innovation.
Join SUT YES! for an exclusive visit to UWA’s Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre in Crawley.
Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the centrifuge facility, gaining a first-hand look at advanced geotechnical testing equipment and techniques. Following the lab tour, enjoy a BBQ networking session, a great chance to connect with industry professionals.
Whether you’re studying, working in the field, or simply interested in underwater technology, this is a great chance to expand your knowledge and network in a relaxed setting.
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).
AusSRC 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.
One 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.
The 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.
For the 2026 inaugural funding round, AusSRC will support projects focused on:
We 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.
Applications 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.
For a full explanation of the ARIA Program, please refer to the ARIA Program Guidelines and ARIA Program Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
This half-day tour provides an on-the-ground overview of the Western Trade Coast, one of Australia’s most significant industrial corridors. Travelling through key locations, participants will gain perspective on the industries, infrastructure and projects shaping the region’s future.
The tour includes key locations such as the Australian Marine Complex, Westport and emerging clean energy hubs, providing real-world context to many of the projects currently driving WA’s economic growth.
“Beneath the Surface: Uncovering Maritime Mysteries Through Underwater Technology”
The SUT April ETM will showcase how advancements in underwater technology are redefining maritime archaeological research and underwater exploration.
Highlighting the intersection between engineering, science, archaeology and underwater exploration, this event will demonstrate how technological innovations are progressing investigations of our submerged cultural heritage, support more engaging communication to the public and how these methods can translate into broader industry applications.
