🌟 Just returned from an incredible experience at Computex Taipei 2024! 🇹🇼 This year's exhibition was a powerhouse of innovation, showcasing groundbreaking technology across various sectors. From AI advancements and IoT solutions to next-gen communication technologies, Computex remains at the forefront of tech evolution. The event highlighted key themes such as High-Performance Computing, Artificial Intelligence & AIoT, Next-Gen Connectivity, Hyperreality, Innovations & Startups, and Sustainability. It was fascinating to see the latest advancements and how these technologies are transforming industries worldwide. Highlights included: 🤖 AI & AIoT: Exploring how artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are becoming more integrated into our daily lives. 📲 Next-Gen Connectivity: Discovering the future of 5G, 6G, and beyond. 👓 Hyperreality: Experiencing immersive technologies that blend the physical and digital worlds. 💡 lInnovations & Startups: Meeting dynamic startups that are bringing fresh ideas and disruptive technologies to the market. 🌱 Sustainability: Learning about sustainable tech solutions that aim to create a greener future. It was truly inspiring to see the innovations and collaborations that will drive the tech industry forward. #Computex2024 #TechInnovation #HPC #AI #AIoT #Connectivity #Hyperreality #Startups #Sustainability #TechExhibition #FutureTech

IoT & AI underpins so much of the New Space Economy's #innovation. Driven by the Filament STAC - Smart Things Accelerator Centre, with a broad remit of "things" (love that), I expect to see a number of roaringly successful and brilliant start-ups emerge in the coming years from this Glasgow cluster. These are the bedrock of Scotland's tech ecosystem, and similar to the huge success of the AI Accelerator programme at the Bayes Centre I envision we will see this collaboration and investment achieve great things. https://lnkd.in/eA2spTx7

Patrik Sandgren, at Teknikföretagen, recognises the need to be bold enough to make choices. In this blog post he shares his thoughts on why Sweden needs a technology and innovation strategy. Patrik Sandgren is also a member of the board of IoT Sweden. #tech #iot #innovation #iotsweden

With all the noise around our event, our IoT product, our water project, it’s been ages since we spelled out what Hard Stuff actually does! We make it easier to launch planet-friendly hardware. 🚀 That’s it. Day in, day out. The UK (and World) needs #hardware innovations to fix the big, physical #sustainability, #planet and #impact problems. But so few investors, entrepreneurs, and change-makers are comfortable with hardware. So, how do we do that? 🔨 #Prototyping and #FieldTesting alongside hardware startups: to de-risk, to take the physical proven thing into their market research and investor meetings, and to raise investment faster and at a better valuation. 💡 Building products and releasing #OpenSource code/designs to make hardware easier to develop. 🤝 Running events to get investors, entrepreneurs, and change-makers exposed to great hardware ideas. 🌊And, when there’s a clear gap in innovation (such as the UK’s abysmal waterway quality) we launch spinout projects to fill that gap. There’s a long road ahead, are you onboard? 🚀 (It’s a good thing we don’t work in marketing, eh? 🙃)

I wanted to shout out to my favorite techies in SudoTechs :) . They managed to thrive in the hardware ecosystem since 2017 and untill now, providing the following to the table, 1- Hardware and Software Solutions: They create advanced technology solutions (AI, IoT, Robotics) for different businesses. You can consider them a technical arm/partner or conaider them a technical venture studio :) . 2- Engineering Consultancy: Help businesses with digital transformation and technical strategy, offering consultation services to technical teams, incubators, accelerators, and investors. 3- Community Engagement: Through Sector B5 , they actually manage community activities like incubators and different targeted programs to support innovation. 4- Research and Development (R&D):They collaborate with research institutes to implement or be a research partners in joint-funded projects across various sectors. If you needed any technical support to your business, they should be your go to place :).

#TRAI RECOMMENDATIONS ON ‘ ENCOURAGING INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, SERVICES, USE CASES, AND BUSINESS MODELS THROUGH REGULATORY SANDBOX IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SECTOR' Recently, TRAI released its recommendations on regulatory sandbox (RS) for innovation in digital communication. This initiative was taken by TRAI in conjunct with a #DoT reference, stakeholder inputs, and the Telecom Act's definition of an RS. The proposed framework by TRAI provides for using cross-sector cooperation in carrying out RS testing with the help of various agencies and other ministries. The said framework, it is hoped, would give the Digital Communication industry's startup ecosystem, an access to the real network environments and other relevant data of telecom network to help test the reliability/ruggedness of new applications before making them commercial. The #TRAI press statement stated “In view of new technological developments in #5G/6G, M2M communications, AI, the IoT, VR, and others, there is a need to provide an environment in which new technologies, services, use cases and business models can be tested in live networks, or existing functions or processes can be refined.” It further explains that “Regulatory Sandbox (RS) makes real-time but regulated access to telecom network and customer resources, something that is not possible in conventional methods of lab testing or pilots.” According to TRAI, provisioning such a unique framework for live testing in India will, in coming times, encourage a greater number of entrepreneurs to develop optimised solutions for the digital communication industry. #startups #DoT #TRAI #TelecomIndustry #Sandbox #Telecom #6G
