SUMMARY:[Webinar] The Intangibles Playbook: Protecting and Amplifying Value
DESCRIPTION:Across industries\, the bulk of corporate value is generated by brands\, data\, technology\, customer relationships\, and other intangible assets. Yet these are often overlooked in strategy discussions and performance tracking\, leaving boards and executives exposed to hidden risks and missed opportunities. Intangible assets are your most powerful drivers of growth — and your biggest blind spots. In this session\, you’ll learn simple\, practical ways to protect intangible value today and amplify it tomorrow. \nThis free 30-minute session will show how companies can sharpen their competitive edge by managing intangible assets with the same rigor as financial and physical assets. \nThrough real-world examples and practical frameworks\, presenters will explore: \n\nHow sudden shifts in technology\, market sentiment\, or stakeholder expectations can rapidly erode enterprise value.\nHow clarity on the characteristics of specific intangibles can lead to sharper strategy and higher earnings.\nThe implications of directors’ fiduciary responsibility for intangible assets.\nMethods to map\, grade\, and strengthen your organisation’s intangible asset base.\n\nThis session will be particularly relevant to corporate executives\, board members\, founders of growth businesses\, IP practitioners and heads of marketing\, innovation and finance. For those interested\, there will be time for Q&A after the presentation. \nRegister for free here: The Intangibles Playbook: Protecting and Amplifying Value

SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: Using the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Method to support aluminium decarbonisation
DESCRIPTION:The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Performance Standard V3 (2022) calls for certifying ASI Entities (no matter where they sit on the aluminium value chain) to “establish a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction Plan and ensure a GHG Emissions Reduction Pathway consistent with a 1.5-degree warming scenario”. \nThe ASI Method (published in 2024) is a unique\, whole-of-value-chain model that allows companies to articulate 1.5-degree aligned pathways and demonstrate conformance with this requirement. \nIn this webinar\, ASI Climate Change and Decarbonisation Director Chris Bayliss will explore the ASI Method’s “sectoral decarbonisation approach”\, which has applicability throughout the aluminium value chain\, from mining to end use and recycling. \nAssociate Professor Emma Aisbett from the Australian National University will share the HILT CRC perspective. Emma leads HILT CRC’s project on certification and verification (⁠RP3.006)\, which is working with industry partners to make sense of the rapidly evolving rules for measuring and certifying embedded emissions across aluminium\, cement and other sectors. Her team’s research is helping companies these frameworks and how to position themselves for market access and competitiveness in a low-carbon economy. \nThe presentations will be followed by an audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:Mapping Australia’s Funding Landscape: What Investors Actually Want in 2025/26
DESCRIPTION:Join the official launch of the pitchhawk Innovation Financing eBook for H1 2025. Hosted by Evolv3’s Steve Carroll in Q&A with pitchhawk CEO Mike Ganon\, this webinar will unpack the when\, why\, who\, and where of innovation funding for 2025/26. \nREGISTER HERE \n\n\nKey themes: what can attendees expect to learn\n▶ The liquidity mirage – how ZIRP inflated your valuation: Webinar attendees will gain insights into the shifting macroeconomic forces that shape startup valuations and in turn impact on fundraising timing and the available sources of capital. They’ll also gain an understanding of why investor expectations have moved from pure excitement to disciplined execution\, driven by the AI experience to date\, the reality that interest rates stayed high for longer than markets were anticipating\, as well as tighter liquidity\, changing geopolitics and the re-regionalisation of critical material supply chains. \n▶ The AI Distortion and lessons from the Dot-Com bubble: Mainstream media assertions that the AI-driven opportunity landscape might be “rhyming” with the dot-com era will also be explored to help anticipate investor mindset and behaviour in this new frontier. \n▶ Mapping Australia’s funding landscape\, and what investors actually want in 2025: A broad overview of the Australian innovation funding landscape\, the key categories of capital providers that founders should be aware of\, and what they will be looking for in 2025 and 2026 will also be covered. \n▶ pitchhawk launch: Last but not least\, the webinar introduces pitchhawk—a tech-enabled services platform created by Mike Ganon and powered by three decades of know-how across hundreds of transactions. pitchhawk helps founders and innovators uncover the true investability of their business\, then fortify what’s strong and rebuild what’s missing before stepping in front of investors.
