Key Strategic Themes and Highlights
Net Zero and Energy Transition
A core focus of the summit is on decarbonisation and sustainable technology. The ARC Centre of Excellence for Carbon Science & Innovation, a national leader in emissions research, will co-host a symposium on net zero pathways, covering carbon capture, low-emission manufacturing, and sustainable materials. Industry application will be a central theme, ensuring research insights translate into real-world adoption.
Advanced Manufacturing
The summit will showcase breakthroughs in nanoscience-enabled advanced manufacturing, including 2D materials and scalable production technologies. Professor Sean Li, Director of MMFI, will lead sessions on innovations transforming semiconductor and micro-device fabrication, advancing the competitiveness of Australia’s manufacturing sector.
Biotechnology and Health Innovation
Nanobiotechnology will be a major focus, led by keynote speaker Professor Xiaodong Chen (NTU Singapore, Editor-in-Chief, ACS Nano), who will explore emerging intersections between nanoscience, diagnostics, and therapeutic innovations. His address will be complemented by sessions on wearable biosensors, smart diagnostics, and real-time monitoring systems.
