Description

Deep Tech is critical to many industries from deep sea to outer space. Our next Connect event, is exploring how ventures are building and scaling new technologies that push beyond dual-use, solving problems across broad customer segments. As we sit down with 4 exceptional founders, we'll dive deep into the balance of developing new breakthroughs whilst navigating different customer segments, dual-use go to market strategy, and unearthing a market wedge.

From space based lidar unlocking critical data for national security and monitoring climate impacts on Earth, to robotic sensors that can unlock a future of physical AI enabling robotics to interface with the world as humans, to robotic tools to help keep people safe when they do high risk work whether on Earth or the moon, to infinity scalable wireless energy transmission across drones, satellites and the grid . Hear from our expert founders:

Ruby Jones, Co-founder and CEO, Aquila
MJ Akter, Co-founder and COO, Spiral Blue
Heba Khamis, CEO and Co-founder, Contactile
Clyde Webster, Founder and CEO, Crest Robotics

Whether you're deep in R&D, preparing for your next scale-up milestone, or looking to connect with the leading minds in Australia's aerospace, defence, and advanced manufacturing ecosystem, join us for an evening of candid insights and community networking.
