Refine your innovation idea and learn how to transform it into an R&D opportunity. Applications are open for CSIRO's free 'Innovate to Grow' 8-week online program for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) working on innovative manufacturing technologies or solutions. The program offers knowledge, tools, guest speakers, and mentors, and by the end, participants will have a research question, collaboration options, an R&D business case, and a funding proposal. CSIRO runs eight cohorts annually across sectors, with easy online applications. Over the next 3 years, four of the programs including this one, will be run with the Regional University Industry Collaboration program (RUIC) to help Queensland SMEs collaborate with regional universities for R&D. Applications for the current program close on 13 October 2024. CSIRO encourage SMEs working in the following sub-sectors to apply: - Manufactured materials and processes - Energy and batteries - Digital manufacturing and mechatronics - Food and beverage manufacturing - Industrial manufacturing - Biomedical manufacturing - Robotics - Other For more information or to apply, visit https://lnkd.in/gxJVu5tt The RUIC Program is funded by the Queensland Government and delivered by CSIRO. #CSIRO #Manufacturing #QueenslandManufacturing #ResearchAndDevelopment

I’m excited to talk about workforce development as a panelist at the Innovation, Workforce and Research Conference (IWRC), hosted by IEEE-USA, June 10-11 in Sioux Falls, SD. Workforce development is something we strive for and take pride in everyday at DeGeest Corporation and LestaUSA Self-Learning Painting & Finishing Robots. We know the driving force behind our success are the people who dedicate themselves to making stronger products for our communities and beyond. In order for our states economy to thrive, we need to take care of our workforce by ensuring quality and fulfilling jobs are available. As a manufacturer, we understand the need for automation to bridge the labor shortage and skills gap. We too were looking for a better solution for our workforce. From our experience, we leveraged the power of technology to capture our institutional knowledge, empower our company’s current workforce, and successfully recruit and retain the next generation. These perspective shifts positively impacted our workforce and can do the same for your business, too. This conference is important for our state as it focuses on inspiring and empowering true innovation in the Dakotas and the Midwest by bringing together stakeholders from academia, government, and industry to meet, learn, and plan for how the CHIPS Act affects South Dakota and neighboring regions. Other key discussions include the research grants, technology transfer programs, start-up funding, intellectual property, federal partnerships, the future of the South Dakota workforce, utilizing state and local resources, AI, and more. Join me June 10-11 in Sioux Falls, to talk about these important topics for our state.
