SUMMARY:Cicada HealthTech Hub Masterclass: Dataroom Essentials for Investor Readiness in Healthtech & Lifescience Ventures
DESCRIPTION:Raising capital in health tech and life sciences is hard — the science might be world-class\, but that’s rarely enough. Investors need clarity and assurance before they commit\, and one of the biggest sources of that assurance is your dataroom.\nFounders and technical teams often underestimate what investors are actually looking for in a dataroom\, and how much a well-structured one can accelerate — or a poorly structured one can stall — a funding round. This masterclass walks you through the frameworks\, tools and real examples you need to build a dataroom that gives investors exactly what they need to say yes with confidence. \nWhether you’re preparing for your first raise or tightening up before your next one\, you’ll leave with a practical\, investor-ready framework you can apply immediately. \nThis masterclass features a presentation on Dataroom essentials for Investor Readiness in Healthtech & Lifescience Ventures – providing innovators with a practical checklist and tools as your venture grow and scale\, followed by a discussion on what works\, what failed and what VCs\, operators\, Angels are looking for. \nLineup\n\nAndy Lamb (Entrepreneur\, Facilitator)\nPrashanth Rajan (Investment Analyst\, Brandon Capital)\nDr Gisela Mautner (Founder & Principal\, The Mautner Docs)\nGordon Black (Founder & CEO\, East West Capital)

SUMMARY:CSIRO x BHP - Measuring Nature Outcomes 2026
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking valuable global data for monitoring practices associated with responsible land management \nOver the past decade awareness has grown that organisations must better understand\, manage and report their interactions with nature. While significant progress has been made in developing nature-related reporting frameworks and standards\, a persistent challenge remains: how can organisations use readily available\, open access nature-related data to evaluate outcomes of land management activities in a transparent\, consistent and robust manner? CSIRO and BHP invite you to attend an upcoming webinar exploring our development of a practical and transparent approach to addressing this challenge. \nThe webinar will showcase recent research conducted by CSIRO in collaboration with BHP to advance natural capital measurement\, management and reporting through the development of practical methods. These methods can be applied consistently across industries\, ecosystems and geographies.\nParticipants will hear how the project team have systematically reviewed readily available\, open access global data to assess its use for nature related monitoring and have worked to: \n\ndevelop benchmarks for over 60 variables relevant to terrestrial ecosystem functional groups globally\, providing 2020 baselines for ongoing assessment and monitoring\,\nmap how these variables relate to ecosystem condition typology recommended by SEEA EA\,\ndevelop a Quality Hectare (Qha) index to support the monitoring and assessment of responsible land management practices across geographies and jurisdictions\, and\nrecommend future directions to support broader uptake by industry.\n\nThe webinar is intended to support industry\, regulators\, environmental bodies and the finance sector. It will explore how organisations can use readily available environmental datasets to support the tracking of stewardship outcomes over time in a transparent and globally consistent manner.

SUMMARY:Building for the future: Designing today's buildings for tomorrow's climate
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s buildings are designed and operated based on weather assumptions from the past\, but what happens when those assumptions no longer hold? The NESP Climate Systems Hub Building for the Future project is tackling this challenge head-on\, developing new future climate files that allow building simulation tools to model how structures will perform under the likely conditions of coming decades\, including under extreme conditions such as heatwaves. This will help us to understand the implications of our future climate for building thermal comfort\, energy use and peak demand. It represents a significant shift for the Australian building simulation industry\, paving the way for more climate-resilient\, efficient and future-ready design. \nThis panel discussion bringing together researchers and practitioners who have been directly involved in co-designing\, co-developing and testing these prototype files.\nYou’ll hear about the motivations underlying the project\, some of the challenges of co-design\, and the learnings from this work\, both for the scientists and for the practitioners. It’s a rare opportunity to hear how climate science is being translated into practical tools for building designers\, building simulation modellers\, assessors and policy-makers. \nThis work is complex problem solving: a chance to rethink how we plan for a changing climate and ensure Australia’s buildings are fit for the future.
