Last week, SolveQ's team attended the Hannover Messe, the world's leading industrial trade fair. Since we've come back and had a chance to gather our thoughts, we're more than happy to share them with those who didn't have the chance to attend or with those who did but want to make the most of this event. 🙌 First impressions: 💥The scale was impressive! Companies of all sizes, from energetic startups to established enterprises, were well-represented. 💥Despite the size, everything was well-organized and easy to navigate. We never felt lost or confused, which is a major plus.👍 Highlights: 💡 The startup arena was particularly captivating. We discovered a wealth of clever, innovative AI solutions. 🤖🧠 💡 We also had the opportunity to meet amazing people and establish valuable new connections. 💡 Many of the companies we spoke with were actively looking to digitize aspects of their business, a clear move towards greater efficiency and environmental responsibility. ⭐Overall⭐ we're incredibly glad we attended the Hannover Messe and strongly recommend it to anyone who was hesitant this year.  #HM24 #event #solveq #hannovermesse2024 #thoughts #recommendation

Are the biggest conferences the most instructive? Not always. Tuesday reminded me once again of the value of small events. As part of their Digital Weeks, Landkreis Leer and Niedersachsen.ai organized an event worth experiencing: "#AI in Software #Technology and Beyond" by Prof. Dr. Niels Streekmann from the University of Emden/Leer. The talk was not just informative but truly engaging. The highlight, however, was the presentation by SeesDisease a local startup founded by two young innovators, Lorenz Rutkevich and his brother David Rutkevich, only 17 and 20 years old. They’re developing AI models that automate microscopy analyses, paving the way for faster, more precise diagnoses—something unique in Germany. My takeaway: Small local events can be not only entertaining but also incredibly eye-opening, showcasing raw innovative power without the overbranding often seen on big stages. What about you? Local startup events or large conferences? Which one has more innovative power? Ps. Thanks Jan Pleis for the invitation!
