SUMMARY:Commercialising New Idea: Strategies to Market - (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores taking your idea to launch by assessing its feasibility\, and business potential\, and developing a commercialisation strategy. \nMany great ideas and inventions never get off the ground or become fully-fledged success stories because of a failure to road test their market feasibility\, or the cost and time required to get there.

Get on top of everything you need to consider\, from protecting your intellectual property\, to market testing\, steps to market entry\, what sort of finance you’ll need to get there and where to source it. Be guided by an experienced innovation and commercialisation practitioner with over 30 years’ experience to build a deeper understanding of the business potential of your idea\, innovation or invention and get the right support and advice. This five and a half hour workshop\, held over two sessions\, includes two free follow-up one-on-one mentoring sessions offering tailored advice to develop a commercialisation strategy that will keep you on track from day one. Get yourself right up to speed about all the steps that will take your innovation to market\, at this essential Small Business Victoria workshop\, one of many that have helped businesses get started in Victoria for more than 10 years. Learn how to: \n\nNavigate through every stage of commercialisation\nAssess the feasibility of your idea\, product or innovation\nUnderstand the regulations\, licences and permits that apply\nProtect your Intellectual Property\nSource the right finance\nDevelop a commercialisation strategy\nBuild your own action plan of next steps\nAccess tools\, templates\, support and resources in future\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Ellinbank Seminar Series 2020: Improved Nutrient Use - online
DESCRIPTION:The road to improved nutrient use efficiency for a contemporary dairy industry \nDr Cameron Gourley\, Senior Research Scientist\, Soil Sciences\, Ellinbank \nNutrient management continues to be a high priority for both production and environmental performance on Australian dairy farms. As dairy production systems intensify\, increased cow numbers result in greater reliance on imported feed and fertiliser\, causing larger nutrient fluxes\, greater GHG emissions\, and lower nutrient use efficiency. Increased animal densities can also mean excessive nutrient loads from excreta and an increasing proportion of manure requiring collection\, storage and land application. \nIn this seminar\, nutrient flows at the farm- and within-farm scale will be presented\, emphasising recent research outcomes quantifying nitrogen and carbon losses from dairy cow manure and demonstrating improved nutrient management can lead to improved productivity and environmental outcomes. \nRegister Here
