Podcasts about commercialisation

Our guest this week is Vicky Alexandrou, co-founder of Woven Optics.Over the past eight years, Vicky has helped design and build a handheld microscope that lets you measure wool fibre diameter right there in the yards or shed. Instead of waiting for lab results, you clip a small sample, take a few quick images along the staple, and within seconds, the device tells you the mean micron, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and comfort factor.You can scan the sheep's ear tag so the data is linked instantly, meaning decisions on classing, culling or breeding can be made on the spot with the most up-to-date information.Vicky and Ferg also chat about the importance of industry collaboration, the current commercialisation of Woven Optics, and the future potential of AI in agriculture.Woven Optics is available now through your local Heiniger representative. Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited. We help livestock farmers get the most out of the genetics they farm with.

Episode SummaryTom Humphrey, Partner at Blackbird and former operator, joins Cheryl and Maxine to reframe the conversation around Australia's AI ecosystem. While headlines paint a picture of Australia falling behind, Tom argues we're quietly sitting on world-class talent, global-first AI companies, and a capital-efficient edge that's being overlooked.They unpack Tom's recent AFR opinion piece on the AI talent landscape, why Australia's university-to-startup pipeline is broken (and slowly improving), and how “boomerang” PhDs are returning from Anthropic, Meta, and DeepMind to build ambitious companies onshore. Plus, Tom breaks down how product-led growth is evolving in the AI era, why enterprise motions are happening sooner, and what the new GTM playbook looks like when AI agents are selling to AI agents.Time Stamps02:21 – Tom's first investment: BHP shares via his parents, now passing on the habit to his son05:19 – Robinhood, meme stocks, and the shift to founder-led brands07:06 – Why Tom wrote the AFR piece: Australia's culture of doubt vs the US lens of opportunity08:08 – Australia's untapped AI talent advantage: 8% of APAC experts, top-tier unis, and PhD immigration12:18 – Six model releases, global leaderboard wins… that no one in Australia talks about14:03 – The dangerous cost of silence: how lack of domestic celebration dampens ambition and capital17:33 – Why Australia is absurdly capital-efficient (and how we squeeze every dollar)19:23 – Commercialisation bottlenecks at Aussie unis, and what's slowly changing25:39 – How this affects investors: AI engineering vs AI research, the boomerang effect, and talent arbitrage30:56 – Time zones, USD revenue, and Australia's secret weapon: the 43% R&D tax credit33:17 – Role gaps and brand new roles: the rise of AI architects and forward deployed engineers34:27 – What PLG really means, and why it's not just a freemium sign-up form39:31 – Spammy AI agents, SEO collapse, and why brand and community are back45:15 – Why enterprise motions are showing up earlier (and how that changes GTM)48:32 – Single-player AI value unlocks a different sales motion: fast, bottom-up adoption51:15 – AI fits into your workflow, not the other way around54:14 – Picking your motion: don't force PLG if it's not a natural fit55:05 – Capital-starved ecosystems and why enterprise is still harder to fund in Aus56:15 – Tom's Big Cojones moment: three boys under six and a startup-founder partnerResources

In this episode of the Decarb Connect Podcast, Alexandra Cameron is joined by Garrett Boudinot, climate scientist and CEO of VyCarb, a Brooklyn-based startup pioneering a novel approach to carbon dioxide removal (CDR). VyCarb's technology harnesses the natural carbon cycle of water to convert CO₂ into stable bicarbonate, offering a verifiable and permanent storage pathway that bypasses the geographic and infrastructure limitations of conventional geologic storage.Garrett shares how his background in ocean carbon chemistry led to the development of a modular, sensor-integrated system that operates at low CO₂ concentrations and near industrial emitters. The conversation explores how VyCarb's solution is being piloted with major industrial players like Rio Tinto and BlueScope Steel, and how the technology could support both voluntary carbon markets and direct decarbonization across sectors.What You'll Learn in This Episode:·       How VyCarb mimics ocean chemistry to convert CO₂ into stably stored bicarbonate·       Why low-purity CO₂ streams—common across industry—are a key focus for deployment·       The limitations of geologic CO₂ storage and how VyCarb overcomes them·       How integrated sensing enables real-time verification and control of the carbon conversion process·       Practical implications for cement, steel, aluminum, and oil & gas emitters·       How existing wastewater discharge permitting can support project rollout·       Insights into VyCarb's current pilot in Brooklyn and its industrial integration roadmap·       What scale-up looks like and why the economics could reach below $100/tonShow links: -          Connect with Garrett Boudinot and the team at VyCarb-          Follow Alex Cameron on LinkedIn and find how to get involved with the membership and work of Decarb Connect-          Join Alex and a network of hardtech investors and series B+ tech disruptors at Decarb TechInvest in Boston (September 2025) Want to learn more about Decarb Connect? We provide insights and introductions that derisk decision-making and support industrial leaders in deploying decarbonization and low carbon product strategy.

Dans une affaire, qui a opposé la société Piaggio, société de droit italien à deux sociétés françaises, la société Piaggio a assigné les deux sociétés en contrefaçons de droit d'auteur et en concurrence déloyale et parasitaire sur son célèbre modèle de la Vespa 150 GS, conçu en 1954.Les deux sociétés défenderesses soulèvent devant le Juge de la mise en état, l'irrecevabilité des demandes de la société Piaggio, en soutenant que la société Piaggio ne bénéficie pas de la présomption de titularité sur le modèle de Vespa, en ce qu'elle n'établit pas de "chaîne de droits et ne justifie pas d'actes d'exploitation en France de la Vespa 150 GS".Le Juge de la mise en état de la 3e chambre du Tribunal judiciaire de Paris, compétent pour apprécier la recevabilité des demandes avant tout débat au fond, par ordonnance du 24 octobre 2024, écarte l'argument des défenderesses.

En Côte d'Ivoire, premier producteur mondial d'anacarde, les acteurs de cette filière tirent un bilan positif à mi-parcours de la campagne de commercialisation. Sur les 1,150 million de tonnes de noix brutes produites cette année, restent 250 000 tonnes à écouler sur les marchés. Priorité aux transformateurs locauxPremier signe positif : dès le début de la campagne en janvier, le prix bord champ de la noix brute de cajou a été rehaussé : il est passé de 275 à 425 FCFA/kg. De quoi valoriser les paysans qui, cette année, ont vu leur production augmenter de 20 %. Selon les projections du ministère de l'Agriculture de Côte d'Ivoire, la production devrait s'établir à un peu plus d'un million de tonnes de noix brute. 900 000 tonnes ont déjà été achetées auprès des producteurs.Par ailleurs, du 18 janvier au 15 mars, le marché a été ouvert en priorité aux transformateurs locaux. « Cela nous a permis d'avoir accès à une noix de bonne qualité et d'éviter la concurrence avec les exportateurs internationaux », commente un entrepreneur. En tout, 36 usines en activité ont pu être approvisionnées. Elles ont pu absorber près de 600 000 tonnes de noix brute.L'impact des tarifs douaniers américainsSeule ombre au tableau, les nouveaux tarifs douaniers imposés par les États-Unis, révisés à la hausse et que Washington a temporairement suspendu. « Les opérateurs au Vietnam [taxés à près de 47 %, NDLR] sont inquiets, cela a ralenti les choses », affirme Kobénan Kouassi Adjoumani, le ministre ivoirien de l'Agriculture. En clair, il y a moins d'engouement autour des ventes.  Car une grosse partie de la production est achetée par le Vietnam, qui exporte ensuite l'amande de cajou vers les États-Unis. Face à la retenue des acheteurs, locaux, comme internationaux, les producteurs bradent leur noix brute. « La situation est bloquée », peste un producteur, qui regrette le non-respect des prix officiels, ces deux dernières semaines. « Des solutions vont bientôt être prises », assure le ministre ivoirien de l'Agriculture, qui demande aux paysans d'être patients. De son côté, pour faire respecter le prix plancher, le Conseil Coton Anacarde organise des ventes groupées dans les zones dans lesquelles les acheteurs se font rares.  À lire aussiLa Côte d'Ivoire cherche à doper la transformation locale de noix de cajou

Dans ce nouvel épisode, la Belgique se retrouve face à un deficit budgétaire plus élevé que prévu alors que le budget de la défense est en pleine expansion. Le gouvernement va devoir trouver des solutions pour faire face à ces nouvelles dépenses. À Bruxelles, des chercheurs néerlandophones et francophones ont proposé des solutions alternatives pour former un gouvernement. Ils proposent plusieurs solutions mais le chemin pour y arriver reste long. L'Empire des Lumières de Magritte s'est vendu à plus de 100 millions d'euros. Le monde de l'art contemporain, en déclin, semble avoir trouvé un nouveau public qui redonne de l'espoir au secteur. Du côté de la tech, l'informatique quantique se commercialise de plus en plus et les recherches sur le sujet avance. Vincent Genot nous explique ce phénomène et les enjeux. Du côté de la bourse, on se tourne vers le marché chinois qui semble se relancer petit à petit.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, has announced a multi-annual 'Accelerating Research to Commercialisation' (ARC) Hub investment programme to fast-track the commercial potential of scientific research across Ireland. The new programme establishes two new Research Ireland ARC Hubs - the ARC Hub for Therapeutics and the ARC Hub for ICT. With funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Government of Ireland, the two hubs have been awarded a combined budget of €63.84 million. Speaking at the announcement, Minister Lawless said: "The Research Ireland ARC Hubs for Therapeutics and ICT represent a new model for regional innovation and entrepreneurial training that will catalyse a step-change in the translation of cutting-edge, publicly-funded research towards impact at a regional level. The ARC Hubs will enhance and accelerate the commercialisation of research to create new products, processes and services." Welcoming the announcement, Research Ireland's Interim CEO, Celine Fitzgerald, commented: "The Research Ireland ARC Hub Programme is a game changer in terms of driving regional development through commercialisation of research. The two ARC Hubs unveiled today, Therapeutics and ICT respectively, will create regional entrepreneurial ecosystems in two critically important sectors for the Irish economy. Accelerating the overall journey to impact will be achieved by enabling researchers with novel ideas to become future entrepreneurs, with the Hubs providing an integrated approach to research funding, entrepreneurial training and access to networks and supports." The ARC Hubs are co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the Southern, Eastern and Midland Regional Programme 2021-2027, one of two ERDF programmes in Ireland. The ERDF aims to promote economic, social and territorial cohesion across all European regions. Maciej Berestecki, European Commission Spokesperson, commented: "The European Commission welcomes this strategic investment to be co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The ARC Hubs offer an integrated approach which will not only accelerate the commercialisation of research but also improve regional competitiveness. By embedding entrepreneurial approaches into the research and innovation ecosystem, groundbreaking ideas can be developed and lead to tangible economic and societal benefits for all regions across Ireland."

Everything is commercialised in this world and similarly Christmas too is heavily commercialised! As Christians we must apply our minds Biblically to every issue under the sun and see that it is pleasing to God and profitable to man. Listen to this Podcast and wisely glorify the Lord Jesus Christ who is the sole reason for season without getting entangled in the worldly trappings! Amen. SDG.

Au Nigeria, le gouvernement a approuvé la commercialisation de variétés OGM de maïs, niébé, coton et soja en janvier dernier, mais leur culture démarre timidement. La technologie transgénique est concédée sous licence libre de droits par Bayer (détenteur de Monsanto) à l'Institut de recherche agricole de l'Université de Zaria. Celle-ci vend des semences de maïs, conçues pour résister à la fois à la sécheresse et aux infestations d'insectes. Exemple sur la première récolte de maïs OGM d'un agriculteur à Suleja, dans le centre du Nigeria. De notre envoyé spécial à Suleja,Baba Yola observe ses ouvriers agricoles. C'est la récolte du maïs transgénique, semée en juin dernier par cet agriculteur. C'est la première fois que Baba Yola cultive des OGM. Il scrute chaque geste pour éviter les pertes. Car investir dans le transgénique coûte cher. « J'ai acheté 20 kg de maïs Tela pour 86 000 nairas, explique-t-il. Vingt kilos de semences traditionnelles, cela doit valoir entre 28 000 et 30 000 nairas. Je ne sais pas comment ils peuvent rendre abordable le maïs OGM pour que tous les agriculteurs puissent y avoir accès. Le maïs Tela est en vente même s'il est difficile à trouver. Si vous ne le commandez pas, vous ne l'obtiendrez pas à temps. »Pas de stratégie commerciale définieBaba Yola a acheté ses semences auprès de l'Institut de recherche agricole (IRA) de l'Université de Zaria, dans le centre nord du Nigeria. Créé en 1922, cet institut a notamment pour mandat l'amélioration génétique du maïs, du niébé, du sorgho ou encore du coton.« Cette année, nous commençons avec trois tonnes de maïs TELA, précise son directeur, le professeur Ado Yusuf, qui supervise en personne la distribution du maïs transgénique. D'autres semenciers privés enregistrés en reçoivent également et les vendent. Mais pour l'instant, de notre côté, il n'y a pas de stratégie commerciale définie. Les semences sont disponibles ici. Vous frappez à la porte de notre institut de recherche, nous vous distribuons les graines. Nous n'avons pas l'intention d'avoir de succursales dans tout le pays. »« Avec les OGM, les agriculteurs deviennent dépendants des distributeurs »Le Nigeria est l'un des sept pays africains impliqués dans le projet TELA Maize. Un partenariat public-privé, où la multinationale Bayer Cropscience (anciennement Monsanto) permet l'utilisation gratuite de sa technologie transgénique.Mais des voix s'inquiètent de la commercialisation des OGM au Nigeria. « Avec les OGM, les agriculteurs deviennent dépendants des distributeurs, des fabricants de semences ou des sociétés de biotechnologie, année après année, pour obtenir des semences, s'inquiète Joyce Brown, d'une Fondation intitulée Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF). Parce que la plupart de ces semences transgéniques sont conçues pour ne pas bien produire après la première saison de plantation. L'objectif étant de faire du profit, pas nécessairement de lutter contre la faim ou l'insécurité alimentaire. »De son côté, Baba Yola se dit prêt à racheter des semences transgéniques pour l'an prochain. Il a subi moins de pertes que d'habitude, mais la céréale, destinée à l'alimentation humaine, n'a pas tout à fait le même goût, alors il se prononcera en fonction des résultats des ventes de son maïs.

The government of Malaysia has set a target of making Malaysia a regional hub for startups by 2025. As of 2022, there were approximately 3,000 active startups in Malaysia, a stark increase from around 300 in 2013. However, whilst 30% of Malaysian startups have displayed consistent growth and profitability, about 1,800 startups struggle, with a 60% failure rate, especially within the first three years. The failure is majorly attributed to lack of market need affecting 42% or approximately 756 startups. How can universities provide a more robust route to market and accelerate a culture of research incubation and support for entrepreneurs?Featuring Ts.

Once seen as an indomitable challenge, Mount Everest has become increasingly commercialised.   It's become a tourist industry, with queues of climbers all waiting to take their photos at the top, paying anywhere between US$65,000 and US$200,000, the VIP experience coming with a higher price tag.  Journalist and author Will Cockrell has been climbing mountains for over 30 years and has explored the commercialisation of Mount Everest in his new book ‘Everest Inc: The Renegades and Rogues Who Built an Industry at the Top of the World'.   He joined Jack Tame to dig into the industry surrounding one of the most iconic mountains in the world.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2024 NovaUCD Student Enterprise Competition, an intensive 4-week accelerator programme for student entrepreneurs, which is now in its 10th year, has commenced at University College Dublin (UCD) with 14 early-stage ventures and 27 participating students. The participating ventures are focused on a wide range of business ideas ranging from aircraft maintenance to sustainable fashion to digital health, and legal services. A €3k Tech Sustainability Prize sponsored by Terra Solar and a €3k NovaUCD One to Watch Prize are available to the winners of this year's competition. The accelerator programme is run by NovaUCD, the innovation and start-up hub at UCD, as a framework to support undergraduate and postgraduate students who want to work together to develop and grow start-up companies. The aim of the competition is to assist the participating students in refining their start-up ideas through a series of structured workshops, including taught content from industry experts, interactive workshops, regular mentoring and pitching sessions. Tom Flanagan, Director of Enterprise and Commercialisation, NovaUCD said, "Over the next few weeks we will be supporting the participating student entrepreneurs as they begin the process of accelerating the translation of their business ideas and concepts into start-ups. A key objective of this annual competition is to provide students with the skills, the confidence and the opportunity to further develop their ideas and to hopefully in time launch their start-ups on a national and even an international stage." The 4-week programme, which uses the Lean Startup and Business Model Canvas approach, includes a series of structured workshops and interactive workshops delivered by Raomal Perera, Caitlin Hafer and Nirisha Manandhar from Lean Disruptor. Topics such as, customer development; value proposition; working in teams; design thinking; prototyping, environment mapping; financial planning and effective fundraising and pitching, will be covered. This year two new components have been introduced to the programme. The first is focused on supporting the students to think about how they can create AI powered start-ups, what are the tools and opportunities to leverage generative AI, not only in their products or services, but also in their business operations. The second is to provide 'checkpoints' as the students develop their business ideas where they can reflect on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how best to align their emerging start-ups with these goals. At a final workshop, to be held in late-June, the participating ventures will pitch to a judging panel. Based on the evaluation of the presentations two winners will be selected, one will be awarded the €3k Tech Sustainability Prize sponsored by Terra Solar and other will be awarded the €3k NovaUCD One to Watch Prize. Over 70 early-stage ventures and some 170 students have completed the NovaUCD Student Enterprise Competition to date. Among the entrepreneurs who previously took part in the competition is Charlie Gleeson, who completed the competition in 2019 with an e-scooter business idea, which became Zipp Mobility. The company which he grew to launch e-scooter and e-bike services in locations across Ireland, the UK and Poland was acquired by ZEUS Scooters in 2023. Charlie is currently General Manager, FreeNow, Ireland. Seventeen (17) postgraduate and ten (10) undergraduate students are participating on this year's programme. Many of the students completed NovaUCD's new entrepreneurship initiative, called Nova Vision, which took place earlier this year. The key goal of Nova Vision is to nurture sustainability and technology, in alignment with the UN's SDGs, and to empower students to contribute to positive global change through entrepreneurial activities.

Ireland's first all-island summit for women who founded their own businesses takes place in Co Fermanagh on May 20th-21st. 'SheVentures' will pull together over 200 women founders, investors, entrepreneurs, and their supporters in Ireland, say Awaken Hub, the organisers of the event. The summit offers "unparalleled access to inspiring Irish and international women leaders, including some who have never spoken at an Irish event before," says Awaken Hub chairperson, Mary McKenna. Speakers include Silicon Valley's Ann Hiatt who worked directly for Amazon's Jeff Bezos; Lorna Conn, CEO of Cpl, and entrepreneurs' champion; and Samantha Barry, Global Editorial Director for the Americas at Glamour magazine. Women Founders Summit Mary McKenna says SheVentures offers an "opportunity to hang-out with your tribe of women founders and investors in a friendly and informal setting for a couple of days. But get yourself investor-ready," she advises. "You might even bag an angel investor or two!" The summit is being held in the breathtaking and cosy location of Lusty Beg Island, Fermanagh. Sponsored cabins on the premises will offer Master Classes and discussions on challenging themes like Investment, Sustainability, US Market Entry, Sales, Storytelling and Marketing, and Commercialisation. McKenna says these are an ideal chance to learn from experts at first hand. "She Ventures is not just about offering great speakers. It's about giving participants access to these speakers and experts for informal chats and discussions throughout the two days. It's also about extending women founders' networks of key players, contacts, and investors as they grow their business." The summit is being supported and sponsored by the Shared Island Initiative. Tánaiste Micheál Martin said he was delighted that the Shared Island Civic Society Fund has been able to support the work of Awaken Hub and the SheVentures summit. "The Shared Island Civic Society Fund aims to promote practical cooperation and interaction in civic society on this island and the SheVentures summit is a stellar example of the Fund supporting people to come together and make real connections." The 2-day event is being MC'd by BBC and TG4 presenter Lynette Fay, and other contributors lined up to take part include the Positive Economist Susan Hayes Culleton, and US and global expert on women's access to networks and Venture Capital, Kelly Hoey. There's accommodation on and off the island and boat/bus transport to shuttle participants back and forth. The summit starts at 9AM on Monday 20th, closing at 4PM on Tuesday 21st.

University College Dublin (UCD) today announced that applications are now open for a new food and agriculture innovation and entrepreneurship training programme, commencing this September, to be delivered by the University in partnership with Teagasc. There are only fifteen (15) places available on the 12-month, in-person Food and Agriculture Sustainable Technology Innovation Programme (FAST-IP), which is aimed at mid-career professionals. FAST-IP will provide participants with a €38,000 tax-free scholarship during the programme. The goal of FAST-IP is to further enhance innovation in the food and agricultural sector by providing programme participants with the necessary skills to evaluate, select and validate ideas for new products and services and to accelerate the commercialisation pathway. FAST-IP will use design-thinking methodologies and will have a practical focus. Through the programme, participants will learn how to conduct needs-led innovation to develop market-validated solutions to unmet needs in the areas of agricultural technology and food sustainability sectors. Participants will also spend 8-10 weeks immersed in agricultural environments including farms and food processing companies throughout the year long programme. FAST-IP is accredited by UCD at Level 9 on the National Qualifications Framework and participants who complete the programme will be awarded a Graduate Diploma in Agricultural Innovation and Entrepreneurship. FAST-IP will be delivered by the UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering, in partnership with Teagasc, at the newly opened AgTechUCD Innovation Centre at UCD Lyons Farm in Co. Kildare. Professor Nick Holden, Professor of Biosystems Engineering in the UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering, is the Academic Director of the Graduate Diploma Programme. Gary Ryan, Director, AgTechUCD, said, "The success of FAST-IP will depend to a great extent on attracting the right mix of high calibre individuals to the programme. FAST-IP is designed to cater for mid-career individuals who have accumulated significant professional experience to date and who are now interested in pivoting towards an entrepreneurial journey based on the development of an innovative technology that will support sustainable practices in the agricultural and food sectors. A fundamental underpinning of the programme is that participants will come to it with an open mind as to potential innovations and without any preconceived biases towards an existing idea that they might like to explore. The programme is based around discovering real world needs through exposure to industry environments in the agfood supply chain and bringing innovative solutions to bear on such needs in a commercially viable manner." He added, "I would encourage anybody meeting the programme criteria and with an interest in building a business that will deliver innovative solutions in support of sustainable agri and food sectors to engage with the process as early as possible. Interest is already high and is likely to build even further in the coming weeks." Dr Siobhán Jordan, Head of Technology Transfer and Commercialisation, Teagasc, said, "Enhancing entrepreneurship and innovation in the food and agricultural sector to deliver impacts nationally and globally requires multi-disciplinary approaches from engineering to marketing from food science to ICT. The FAST-IP programme delivered by UCD and Teagasc will enable participants to deliver new solutions for the longer term sustainability of the agri-food sector." UCD and Teagasc, with strong reputations for academic and research excellence in the areas of Sustainable Food Systems, Agriculture, and Food Science, will utilise their extensive networks, connections, domain expertise, entrepreneurial experience, and track-record for supporting, fostering and spinning out start-ups over the next 6 years of the programme. The AgTechUCD Innovation Centre, which is part of NovaUCD, is focused on promoting an...
