Check out SEMI's first edition of the 20 Under 30 Rising Stars blog series! My colleague Maria Daniela Perez interviewed Kai Hahn of Comet Yxlon on his career journey and the impact of the SEMI 20 Under 30 Award. Read below to learn about his inspiring journey and reach out if you'd like to learn more about the Award.

Really enjoyed this post from Michael Jackson with historical examples of groundbreaking technological advances that were either ridiculed or dismissed by the masses. My favorite takeaway is that the eventual utility of the given technology was much broader than its myopic initial use case or purpose. #innovation #history #financialmarkets #technology #vision

The Next Generation of Innovation In our latest issue of T&I, Cengiz Ozkan, SMNAI, et al. show that to cultivate the next generation of innovators, universities must shift from traditional structures--fostering collaborative partnerships and reimagining curriculum delivery. The article explores forward-looking strategies, emphasizing best practices for entrepreneurial leaders who prioritize social impact, aiming to inform educational approaches that empower diverse and inclusive participation, helping students navigate and overcome longstanding risks and barriers. ► Read the full article here: https://ow.ly/HH3G50QpWjR ► See the full issue: https://ow.ly/GtEv50QpWjU ► Learn more about T&I: https://ow.ly/mFG550QpWjS #invention #innovation #technology

Insightful panel hosted by Education Impact Fund Learning about the challenges of outdated back-end systems in higher ed highlighted by Stephanie Hinshaw Ed.D. at Butler University, and the various ways Richard G. Barnhouse at Waukesha Tech is trying to support that critical period between high school graduation and the transition to college, it seems there are opportunities for solutions like TomorrowToday to help bridge that data divide between high school to college and beyond towards future readiness. #careerreadiness #futurecareers

Is innovation just for the young? Last week I attended Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) #ADSTAR Summit. It was here, during one of the several engaging and thought-provoking panels that a comment about the ‘older’ age of senior leaders in the context of accelerating innovation was raised and discussed. The intimation being that ‘older’ age leaders may not be the most adept at innovating at the pace needed. This comment really resonated with me and has had me thinking ever since. A series of other questions immediately came to mind for me: ✴ Does years of technical knowledge, know-how and skill development not prime us to innovate? ✴ Are we valuing life experience and the contribution it makes to thinking and seeing the world, both critical when talking innovation? ✴ By thinking rapid innovation is just for the young, are we perpetuating and even accelerating generational ‘silos’?  ✴ We talk a lot about diversity as a fundamental input to creative and innovative solutions, does this diversity not extend to age? I have learned so much from older colleagues and leaders, from their technical experience, corporate knowledge, experience of the world and importantly, perspectives. These shape my thinking, and I suspect, or hope, I have shaped theirs. I have learned equally as much from younger colleagues and leaders. For me, innovation is a mindset grown in a culture that only thrives with full diversity, age included. Age has a contribution, and it is positive across all spectrums. Youth brings an infectious energy and passion, a zest for embracing and generating new technology and fresh ideas. Older folk bring equal levels of innovation founded on their experience, adoption and generation of technology and driven by passion to help drive change, together with the knowledge to temper it when needed.  Together that is a formidable team for innovating at pace. #diversity #leadership #inclusion

End of another Technology Awareness course with a great class at Sabancı Business School. I believe my students will be supportive in transforming ever changing business environment with an ethical, impactful, sustainable and disruptive approach as the leaders of tomorrow. Hope their journey will be full of good people… #technologyawareness #emergingtrends #disruptivetechnologies

Dr Bianca Capra back when I was under 16, I won a mile race in 4min 32sec, in almost the same year the 4min barrier was broken. Today at 73, I would have difficulty walking a mile, without body needing to stop a few times. (fyi bladder.. aka Big Mac +fries) Mind you my mind does NOT stop. The thing the high school teachers FAILED to instill in me was, time waits for no one, and like an old hour glass of sand, time runs away quicker the more years you live For quite a few of us with a Science & Technology background, we simply cannot stop our brains and bodies from wanting & enjoying the stimulating challenges, that "working at the bleeding edge" each day brings We bring a breadth of skill taught NOT in some sterile class room, or in a "On Line" Ai governed course; but taught in the SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS !!! & some of those knocks were indeed hard; if not to the body, but to where it impacts us humans most...our PRIDE 🤕 I started in Engineering & Electronics when Steam engine theory & Vacumn tube Valves and Transistors were still being taught. RMIT University still taught wood patten making & sand casting in the foundry I've fired & driven a Main Line steam passenger train, built & launched a small solid propellant rocket, flown in the Cockpit of a long haul commercial jet, been at the helm commissioning a new naval boat, designed & built diversity of electronics at 0805 surface mount level, been 1k underground, and out on oil rig platforms. Worked in early start times for to 2 different International Space rocket companies. Even driven a Melbourne W class tram; BUT canniot find a Globally a Mentor to support me to finish my PhD in Elec Eng. At 73 am I UP TO the challenges innovation requires, in today's modern fast passed work takes My answer is "No I am NOT" As a Polymath I am "AHEAD OF IT" by at least 52 years. 🤗😁 And I give the following brief example why I say this In 1972 Pink Floyd toured Australia. I had ticket sitting the back of Festival Hall Melbourne show. At intermission, I went to rear of Lighting Desk located in middle of hall, caught the eye of the Lighting Director, to whom I commented something like "great show, but was surprised with all the leading stage kit, that you had not done one thing" His response was "what was that ?" I replied "When Dogs of War was playing, & pulsing heart was on big projection screen, why was screen NOT pulsing out in 3D ?" Next thing, I had this Yank's hand twisting my collar at throat. He asked whom the F.. was I + where I was sitting. I replied "a nobody technician & in back row. His response "From now your sitting next to me, your on the tour, so start watching for anything to improve, in meantime design that 3D video screen!!"! Mind you, Maria says i still cannot correctly load a Dishwasher nor hand out laundry in most appropriate way

Web3/crypto absolutely fits this description today. The NFT you see today as a toy could very well be the way to solve land disputes in Africa. The crypto coins used for blind speculation will one day be the money used in countries that cannot manage their own currencies. My spicy take is if you are below 25 and want to become a “tech expert”, ditch AI - the world already knows it’s useful and understand web3/blockchain and see where it takes you.

This video applies perfectly to Carbon markets as an innovation to finance nature. At first, innovations are seen as trivial and attacked. I particularly love Marc Andreeseen's anecdote about a journalist named "Peter Lewis" writing negative stories about the Internet for the NYT for years in the 90s, saying you could not trust ecommerce. Maybe we can all think of today's NYTs and their own "Peter Lewis" consistently writing negative stories about Carbon and attacking its credibility? #vcm #naturalcapital #naturebasedsolutions #financialinnovation
