Innovation Summit Sydney 2025

UNSW SMaRT Centre Director Prof Veena will speak at Innovation Summit Sydney 2025 on 17-18 March 2025.

In a panel discussion about "Enabling Sustainability Through Technology", Veena will share her vision for a sustainable future, highlighting the importance of creating a circular economy and how using waste as a resource must be at the centre of our manufacturing future and innovative decarbonisation efforts, in collaboration between researchers and industry.

She will highlight that using innovations such as UNSW SMaRT Centre's recycling and MICROfactorie^TM technologies that recover valuable materials from waste and reform them into new manufacturing feedstock and products through collaborators, are central to help achieve the sustainability needed for the future.
