"The NSW government aims to develop an online research and development “match-making” service between industry and universities to solve “real world” problems." Let's save time and effort and use Australia's @Idea Spies, which is already in market and doing a brilliant job of showcasing the great work of researchers to a global audience, as part of the solution to this wicked problem.
"A diplomatic overture extending an olive branch of friendship by exporting the means of production of one of its most valuable resources, rather than just the fruits of it." The leading cybersecurity college in Israel, HackerU, today formally lodged an official petition to the Australian National Government to accredit Australia’s first-ever Offensive 'Red Team' Cybersecurity Qualification and with it potentially comes to a new framework for international trade. This idea of exporting education and not cybersecurity expertise means that Australians can train Australians to be industry experts and world-leaders, exceptionally important for this digital age and industry.
ERM’s Dolphyn (Deepwater
Offshore Local Production of HYdrogeN) project is exploring offshore hydrogen
production option - a 10MW floating wind turbine with built-in electrolyser will
convert sea water into green hydrogen. There is no water constraint, no electricity
grid connection issue and the hydrogen can be shipped out by ammonia-powered
vessel soon (EU’s ShipFC project)?

Manta Network recently closed a USD$1.1M funding round to create a fully private decentralized exchange. At the moment, some would consider the blockchain too transparent for a number of finance transactions enabling someone to see the transaction and commit it with a higher fee before you do.

Could a privacy-preserving decentralized finance stack be a reality sooner than we think?https://cointelegraph.com/news/manta-aims-to-bring-a-private-decentralized-exchange-to-polkadot-with-1-1m-raiseImage by V
