SUMMARY:AUSTMINE Philippines Market Entry Readiness: From Market Insight to Action
DESCRIPTION:Philippines Market Entry Readiness: From Market Insight to Action \nAustmine and the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) invite Australian Mining Equipment\, Technology and Services (METS) companies to join a practical webinar focused on taking the next step in the Philippines mining market.\nThe Philippines presents opportunities for Australian METS across mining equipment\, technology\, engineering\, processing\, environmental management\, safety\, training and operational improvement. Turning those opportunities into meaningful engagement requires companies to consider where their capabilities fit\, what information they still need and how prepared they are to pursue the market. \nBuilding on the Philippines Mining Market introduction held on 13 August 2026\, this 90-minute webinar will move from market understanding to practical preparation. It will help companies consider what the market information means for their business\, identify areas requiring further validation and decide where to focus their next effort. \nThrough in-market and industry perspectives\, the session will explore practical considerations for engaging in the Philippines and lessons companies can apply to their own market approach. Speakers will be announced once confirmed.

SUMMARY:Activating Innovation Precincts: Lessons from the University of Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Innovation precincts are often presented as places where universities\, industry\, government\, start-ups and communities come together — but proximity alone does not create collaboration. In this fireside chat\, Vanessa Campbell\, Director of Innovation Precincts at the University of Melbourne\, will explore what it takes to turn a physical precinct into an active innovation ecosystem. Drawing on experience across Melbourne Connect and the wider Parkville and Arden context\, the conversation will examine the operating models\, partnerships\, programming and trust-building needed to move from a property-led vision to sustained collaboration. \nAbout the speaker: Vanessa Campbell leads the University of Melbourne’s work on innovation precincts\, focusing on how universities can move beyond physical development to create genuinely active ecosystems of collaboration. In this practical conversation\, she will share lessons on how innovation precincts can become more than buildings\, labs or co-location spaces — and instead create the conditions for meaningful collaboration across universities\, companies\, government\, start-ups and communities. The session will be valuable for anyone involved in developing\, operating or partnering within innovation precincts\, including leaders and professionals working in external engagement\, innovation\, partnerships\, entrepreneurship\, research translation\, economic development and ecosystem building. \nLearn more and register here

SUMMARY:LESI WEBINAR: IP Valuation from Theory to Practice
DESCRIPTION:IP Valuation from Theory to Practice\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLES USA & Canada\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis 50-minute webinar will explore the strategic importance of intellectual property (“IP”) valuation and the wide range of business circumstances in which understanding the economic value of IP can inform better decision-making.\nThe first half of the program will examine the growing importance of intangible assets\, the principal types of IP\, and how valuation can support investment prioritization\, resource allocation\, and optimization of IP portfolios\, while addressing common misconceptions about what actually drives IP value. The second half will focus on the practical applications of IP valuation across mergers and acquisitions\, licensing and commercialization\, litigation and dispute resolution\, and financing and capital-raising activities. Throughout the discussion\, the presenters will distinguish economic value from concepts such as development cost\, patent quantity\, technological strength\, and legal validity\, while highlighting how valuation principles intersect with licensing strategy and damages analyses. The program will conclude with practical perspectives on common misconceptions surrounding IP valuation and how licensing professionals and valuation experts can work together more effectively to support commercialization\, negotiations\, and strategic decision-making.

SUMMARY:METS Technology Showcase: The Philippines
DESCRIPTION:The Philippines is seeking to transform its mining sector into a key economic growth engine. It is one of the world’s most mineral-rich countries\, with significant deposits of nickel\, copper\, gold and other minerals essential to global industry and the energy transition. \nWhile the opportunities are significant\, the Philippines’ geology and terrain present distinctive technical characteristics\, such as complex nickel laterite orebodies with variable grades\, a tropical climate\, harsh terrain\, and atypical porphyry copper-gold geology. These conditions call for specialised innovation\, technology and expertise\, creating a strong alignment with the world-leading solutions offered by the Australian METS industry. \nThis webinar will feature five world-leading Australian METS companies as they explore the innovations being implemented at mining operations globally to control orebody grades\, reduce variability\, and support more productive and profitable mines. \nPresentations will showcase solutions driving operational value in areas such as: \n\nSensor-based ore sorting & grade control for nickel laterite and copper-gold blending\nGeometallurgy & mineralogical characterisation for variable\, weathered ore bodies\nFlowsheet optimisation for nickel feed preparation and porphyry copper-gold circuits\nRecovery improvement technologies such as flotation\, separation and beneficiation\nReal-time process control\, plant data analytics & digital twins for metallurgical performance\nManaging water\, tailings and waste for complex orebodies\n\nJoin this Webinar to understand the opportunities to foster mining technology collaboration between Australia and The Philippines.

SUMMARY:Enhancing productivity of Australian food and agriculture through value-added processing
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s agricultural industries have remained internationally through continuous innovation resulting from joint industry- and government-funding as well as the willingness of Australian farmers to adopt new innovations. However\, Australia’s agricultural and food sectors increasingly face declining rates of profitability growth\, rising costs\, volatile markets\, and vulnerable supply chains. Diversifying revenue streams through value-added processing is a business imperative\, and a matter of national economic security. \nGlobal demand for sustainable\, high-value food\, materials and energy creates a unique opportunity. By leveraging our strengths\, Australia has the potential to generate economic\, environmental and social benefits positioning us at the forefront of the global bioeconomy. \nIn the third webinar in ATSE’s Beyond the Bite series\, we will hear from experts on how we can support the innovation system across the agricultural and food sectors to increase productivity\, profitability\, and sustainability.
