SUMMARY:From innovation\, to industry\, to impact: Translating Digital Health R&D
DESCRIPTION:The rapid evolution of technology means digital health research is advancing fast. But too often\, it struggles to translate into real-world impact – falling flat in practice.\nWhat does industry need from researchers to make their discoveries work? Bringing together healthcare leaders with experience across R&D and implementation\, this webinar will reveal: what industry looks for in digital health research\, talent and partnerships | what makes (or breaks) the transition from research to real-world application | how to design research that is relevant\, scalable and implementation-ready | actions researchers can take to increase uptake of their work. \nIf you want your research to land beyond the lab\, this session will give you a clearer view of how to align with industry priorities and deliver impact where it matters. \nExperience insightful presentations followed by a panel and audience-led Q&A discussion.

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
