About us
BluGlass (ASX: BLG) is a global leader commercialising a breakthrough technology using Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD) for the manufacture of high-performance LEDs and other devices. BluGlass has invented a new process using RPCVD to grow advanced materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and indium gallium nitride (InGaN). These materials are crucial to the production of high-efficiency devices such as high-brightness light emitting diodes (LEDs), microLEDs and laser diodes used in next-generation lighting technologies. The RPCVD technology, because of its low temperature and ammonia free growth process, offers many potential benefits over existing technologies including higher efficiency, lower cost, substrate flexibility (including GaN on silicon) and scalability. www.bluglass.com.au

The global chips race isn’t just about building multi-billion-dollar silicon fabs, it’s about securing influence in the world’s most critical supply chain. With the US, EU, Japan and South Korea investing billions into incentives, Australia’s opportunity lies in leveraging deep-tech R&D, strengthening capital pathways, and protecting homegrown innovation so it doesn’t drift offshore. Semiconductor Australia 2025 panel, ‘Chip Diplomacy: Uniting policy, capital, and capability to leverage Australia’s intellectual horsepower in the global chips race’ will ask arguably the most pressing question facing Australian decision makers today: how do we protect IP, attract strategic capital, and translate our deep science into sovereign capability? Moderated by Market Eye founder and capital markets heavyweight Ronn Bechler, this panel brings together Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer Prof. Hugh Durrant-Whyte, Tech Policy Design Institute (TPDi) @Johanna Weaver, Atto Devices’ Mike Boers, Weebit Nano Ltd Coby Hanoch and Cicada Innovations’ Ingrid Marsh, and Amaero Ltd (ASX:3DA), and BluGlass Limited (ASX: BLG)' Omer Granit Secure your spot by registering at: https://lnkd.in/gzGy57TJ Semiconductor Sector Service Bureau (S3B) Corporate Connect Research

Our own superstar Josh Brown is moderating a stellar expert guest-list Semiconductor Australia to discuss the intersection of #quantum, #semiconductors, and #AI as we take a look at Australia's rising superpower in the global tech stack. Joining the line-up are some of Australia's most ambitious and audacious innovators and pioneers changing the game in next-gen computing. This is a must watch. Grab your tickets today.
On the rise - #quantum and #AI promise to be the most revolutionary technologies of our time. Their intersection will shape the future of industries, capabilities, and global competitiveness. With nations racing to unlock the trillion-dollar opportunities ahead, our expert panel asks - where does Australia sit in the global tech stack? Semiconductor Australia 2025’s ‘Where Quantum & AI Collide’ panel will explore a key question for capital markets, capability builders and policy makers: how do we integrate these two superpowers to build ecosystems that attract global capital, and ensure Australian innovation defines the frontier rather than follows it? Moderated by BluGlass Limited (ASX: BLG) Dr Josh Brown, this powerhouse panel brings together Silicon Quantum Computing's Prof. Michelle Simmons, BFA Global’s Jonathan Belz, Emergence Quantum’s Dr Thomas Ohki, Quantum Brilliance Mark Luo, ResetData Marcel Zalloua and QuintessenceLabs Andreas Baumhof.

We’re thrilled to reveal the incredible line up of panel speakers coming to Semiconductor Australia 2025. Three feature panels will bring together some of the most influential voices across defence, aerospace, chips, investment, and quantum to tackle the big issues shaping Australia’s sovereign capability and strategic future. Our feature panel ‘Leading from the Front: tech sovereignty, strategic deterrence, and building Australia’s innovation arsenal’, will examine local success stories and Australia's rising sovereign capability in defence and dual-use technologies. As global tensions reshape supply chains and strategic alliances, the panel will ask the hard questions: how do we leverage sovereign technologies to strengthen deterrence, attract strategic capital, and integrate cutting-edge innovations into defence and industry? Moderated by Bell Potter Securities’s James Berman, the discussion will explore how Australia can lead from the front in building an innovation arsenal that keeps pace with the world’s fastest-moving competitors. The panel includes Defence Council’s Dr Jens Goennemann, DroneShield Angus Bean, Hypersonix Inc. Matt A. Hill, Visionary Machines Sonny Foster, and Wrays | Intellectual Property Paula Adamson.

Semiconductor Australia is delighted to welcome back Australia's former Chief Scientist Dr Cathy Foley to deliver a keynote at SA25! We have an incredible line-up this year, with more speaker announcements to be made across multiple stages in the iconic ILUMINA in Sydney. Tickets available at https://lnkd.in/gzGy57TJ #quantum, #photonics, #semiconductors #austech #ausbiz BluGlass Limited (ASX: BLG), Semiconductor Sector Service Bureau (S3B), Corporate Connect Research
We are honoured to welcome back Australia's former Chief Scientist Dr Cathy Foley as a keynote speaker at Semiconductor Australia 2025. Dr Foley has spent her career championing science and technology as national priorities. A physicist by training, her research at CSIRO pioneered breakthroughs in superconducting devices, and her leadership shaped policy around critical technologies and innovation ecosystems. At last year’s Semiconductor Australia, she urged Australia to treat semiconductors, and their access, not just as a strategic priority, but fundamental to our national existence; as vital to our economic wellbeing, alongside air, food, and water. This year, Dr Foley returns to chart Australia's progress since SA24, share insights into how Australia can turn world-class research into sovereign capability, and why collaboration between government, industry, and investors is essential to secure our place in the global deep-tech landscape.
