SUMMARY:HILT CRC Public Webinar: Technology pathways for green iron and low-carbon steelmaking
DESCRIPTION:Join HILT CRC for a public webinar showcasing four iron and steel technology providers – and HILT CRC partners – working on practical pathways to decarbonise iron and steel production.\nSpeakers from Primetals Technologies\, Metix\, Tenova and Hatch will each provide a technical deep dive into their technologies\, alongside a broader view of future green iron and low-carbon steelmaking pathways. \nFor Primetals\, Gerald Wimmer will provide a technical overview of its work supporting lower-emissions iron and steel production. The presentation will consider practical pathways for integrating new process technologies into future green iron and steel value chains\, including the implications for feedstocks\, energy supply\, plant configuration and scale-up. \nGerhard Terblanche will present for Metix. As SMS group’s centre of competence for reduction furnace applications\, Metix brings deep expertise in pyrometallurgical furnace technologies\, submerged arc furnaces\, high-temperature process engineering and advanced electric smelting solutions. \nTenova will provide a multi-speaker overview of its technologies across the iron and steel value chain. Markus Dorndorf will introduce the company’s direct reduced iron (DRI) and electric arc furnace (EAF) technologies; Andre Esterhuizen will discuss submerged arc furnace technology\, including iBLUE® (which combines direct reduction with arc furnace-based hot metal production)\, residual valorisation and slag granulation; and Alessandro Della Rocca will address downstream technologies\, including reheating furnaces. \nFor Hatch\, Simon Nitschke\, Managing Director\, Equipment Technology\, will present on Hatch’s work in green iron and steel\, including the NeoSmelt electric smelting furnace (ESF) design. \nPresentations from each company will include an audience Q&A after each session\, with a panel discussion to close.

SUMMARY:Critical Minerals & Tailings Monthly Webinar (MRIWA)
DESCRIPTION:The transition towards a circular and low-carbon economy requires innovative and integrated approaches to secure the supply of critical raw materials (CRMs). This presentation will focus on the development of advanced process routes for CRM recovery from primary and secondary resources\, while ensuring the valorisation of all process streams across the value chain. The work covers a holistic approach that integrates resource pre-treatment\, hydrometallurgical processing\, separation and refining steps\, as well as the treatment and reuse of process waters. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of sustainable and efficient recovery strategies that maximise resource efficiency\, reduce chemical consumption\, and minimise waste generation. \nThe use case presented is centred on lithium extraction from spodumene as a representative primary resource. This case demonstrates a validated TRL 5 process concept for sustainable lithium recovery\, combining selective processing strategies with integrated residue management. In addition to lithium production\, the approach enables the valorisation of the remaining solid residues\, contributing to a more circular and resource-efficient flowsheet. \nAlthough the case study focuses on lithium\, the developed methodologies are transferable to other critical raw materials and are aligned with the increasing need for more sustainable mining and processing practices. Overall\, the presentation highlights how integrated process design can bridge efficiency\, sustainability\, and circularity in primary CRM production systems.

SUMMARY:Nucleate GVA | PATH: Intellectual Property Strategy for Life Science Founders
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Chris Vindurampulle (Principal\, Patent and Trade Marks Attorney at Griffith Hack) \n​Are you a life science researcher thinking about turning your discovery into a biotech startup? Learn how to think strategically about intellectual property\, protect inventions before disclosure\, and avoid common IP pitfalls on the path from lab discovery to commercialization. \n​Turning academic research into a biotech company requires more than strong science. It also means understanding what kinds of intellectual assets you are creating\, when to protect them\, who owns them\, and whether your future company will have the freedom to operate. In this session\, Dr. Chris Vindurampulle\, featured by the Nucleate Global Virtual Activator team\, will walk through the key IP considerations researchers should understand when translating research into a startup.

SUMMARY:Australia’s Environmental Data Mosaic: from complexity to national advantage
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s environmental evidence is expanding faster than our ability to assemble it. Satellites\, sensors\, ranger programs\, Defence monitoring and research infrastructures are generating unprecedented data. But fragmentation means critical insights remain locked in silos. \nMajor national decisions now depend on rapid\, trusted environmental intelligence. From the upcoming State of the Environment Report to Defence estate stewardship\, disaster‑risk planning and state land management\, organisations need data that is findable\, interoperable and ready for use at scale. \nThe cost of inaction is rising. Without a connected environmental data ecosystem\, Australia risks slower responses\, weaker accountability and missed opportunities to build sovereign capability in environmental intelligence. \nThis webinar brings together three speakers to confront a central question: how do we turn a fragmented environmental data landscape into a connected\, resilient\, national‑scale capability that serves reporting\, operations and long‑term stewardship? If you care about the long-term health of Australia’s land and the institutions that steward it\, this is a conversation you will not want to miss.

SUMMARY:Quantum Technology for Business webinar
DESCRIPTION:A practical briefing on one of the most significant emerging technologies in Australia\n\n\n\n\nJoin us online for a free one-hour webinar: Quantum Technology for Business: What It Is\, What’s Real Now\, and What It Means for You. \nThis session has been developed jointly by Australian Industry Group and Quantum Australia for business owners and executives who want to cut through the hype and understand what quantum technology actually means for their industry. \nQuantum technology is advancing rapidly\, and its implications for sectors including manufacturing\, defence\, logistics\, construction and critical infrastructure are real and near-term. Yet many business leaders remain uncertain about where to focus attention\, what risks and opportunities are genuine\, and how to engage with this emerging field now. This webinar is designed to give you a grounded\, practical briefing\, not a technology lecture. The program brings together leading voices across quantum science\, commercial deployment and industry adoption. \nThe session will cover three themes: \n\nQuantum fundamentals — what the technology is and isn’t\, and what it can actually do today\nCommercial realities — what’s available now\, what’s coming next\, and how to assess readiness and risk for your organisation\nIndustry adoption — what quantum means in practice for non-quantum businesses\, drawn from real-world experience\n\nYou will hear directly from each presenter what quantum technology means for businesses like yours — not just a summary of published research\, but practical insight you can act on. \nPresenters: \n\nJames Thomson\, Lead – Standard & Product Regulation\, Australian Industry Group\nFernando Guerra Alves\, Manager\, Strategic Partnerships Development and Projects\, Quantum Australia\nDr Marcus Doherty\, Co-Founder and CTO\, Quantum Brilliance\nAndrew Tingay\, Global Principal\, Advisory\, Jacobs\n\nThis webinar is complimentary and open to Australian Industry Group members and the public. Places are limited. We hope you will be able to join us for this practical briefing on one of the most significant emerging technologies for Australian industry.
