Challenging conditions bring commercialisation opportunities
In a sector under increasing pressure due to declining discovery rates, environmental and social concerns, participants will gain an appreciation for research areas that could have commercial potential by developing solutions to these problems. The series explores the challenges of sustainable mineral exploration and processing, safety and environmental impact, offering potential solutions for consideration. We’ll discuss sector trends, including interdisciplinary approaches from AI, blockchain, data fusion, edge computing, green technologies, automation and more, and the opportunities that these provide for commercialisation.

Commercialising Research for the Circular Economy Q3 2025
What goes around, comes around. The growth of Circular Economy-centric thinking is driving increased demand for impactful innovation from research. Our new vertical targets the three key principles of the Circular Economy: elimination, circulation and regeneration, and participants will gain a broad understanding of research innovation needs in high impact sectors including energy, plastics, agriculture, manufacturing and mineral resources. We’ll examine considerations from sustainable supply chains to reuse of waste to barriers (and opportunities) for scaling from a commercialisation perspective, using case studies to bring examples to life. Insights from industry experts and experienced practitioners will guide researchers across a range of disciplines on a more effective commercialisation journey
