The application will leverage gaming, intelligent algorithms, and the existing construction marketplace to drive success and rapid adoption. Student gamers will utilize the system to learn valuable project management (PM) skills, as well as earn income and certificates for playing games that contribute to real world projects. Clients will utilize the platform to secure rising talent to complete job specifications and designs for current needs in commercial, home, and remodeling designs.

Abstract

With the help of the latest techniques in Deep Learning, it is now possible to analyse human behavior based on publicly available data on LinkedIn. This is a major breakthrough for organizational science. Researchers at Cambridge University succeeded once before to predict a person’s personality profile from Facebook likes more accurately than that person’s family could. With our technology now the field moved a significant step closer towards an algorithm predicting human behavior better than humans can. In this talk, Charles Ahmadzadeh, the CTO and co-founder of Bunch.ai, will share how they built deep learning models from scratch and what are the next steps towards enriching our every day’s life through a better understanding of Human psychology using IoT devices.

Abstract

In today’s competitive and dynamic environment, Intellectual Property (IP) often is the USP of the product or service, helping to create a sustainable and defensible differentiator for the company – this is especially true for Startups. A certain concept, the shape of a product, a sophisticated software product, an AI-based manufacturing process or a brand – all these innovations represent the core elements of a company and need unique protection in order to create the necessary connection between the entrepreneur and the product or service.

Abstract

A great deal of emerging digital technologies is starting to find its way into usability and our daily lives. Surprisingly however, this development is not reflected in healthcare environment – although the potential is enormous.

Abstract

The term Smart Textiles means intelligent or functionalized textiles with fibers, which provide “intelligence” properties e. g. new, mechanical and protective surface. The textiles provide functions that were not previously textile goods. For example, you can capture and transport information, illuminate, heat, heal wounds and monitor vital signs.

Standardization will help to define requirements regarding production, security, connectivity and sustainability. They will provide Manufacturers with reliable and recognized technical rules for mass production of Smart Textiles products.

Abstract

Many industries have been transformed by digitization already: Communication, Automotive, Media and Finance for example. But the building industry is still very low on digitization and on productivity. This is about to change as technology and startups are disrupting the industry.

In this talk you will get answers to the following questions:

• How will the IoT transition impact the future of buildings?
• Will the digital twin be the next big game-changer?
• What is the role of startups in this process?

Abstract

With the advent of big data technologies such as Cloud Computing, IoT, and AI new digital and data-driven business models emerge worldwide. Data seems to be the key resource, but it only works in collaboration with human capital. Especially in start-ups, which are often characterized by uncertainties and dynamics, digital and participative leadership is needed in order not to lose the employees who are the human capital of every business model.

Abstract

The combination of large datasets with AI, namely with ML methods, went from very promising to gaining a lot of attention. However, it is common to observe that a solution to a problem that uses AI to discover patterns and insights that are hidden in data is very sensitive to the input dataset.
This talk will address the importance of metadata to improve the quality of data and to guide the selection of a most suited ML method. Several use-cases, around the same medical problem, will support this talk and enable takeaway lessons that should be taken into account when developing a DSS.

Abstract

As a nationwide network, the Smart Living Business Initiative aims to develop future-oriented strategies for a leading German market in the “smart living” sector. Its stated aim is to achieve a higher dynamic in the digital market for housing and living environments. More than 70 companies and associations are currently members of the Initiative. The National Bureau Smart Living was commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi) to manage the Business Initiative.

Abstract

Creating an IoT service from the scratch usually comes along with the need of making decisions: describing the problem exactly, how to exchange and work with data, user interfaces, finding right hardware, scalability, security, privacy, … When Dealing with all these things, the focus on the service itself gets lost and the development process becomes inefficient and inflexible.
IoT connctd solves that problem and enables service developers to stay focused and as much creative as possible.

Abstract

Communication in eSports is not less important and crucial than in every other business. In this panel we talk about the communication in eSports and the chance to create a new capture at the book of competitive gaming. In a conversation with other people, the words could be the same but the meaning could be very different.
At the first look everything could be clear, but actually the sense is another one. Like in every other business or sports, it’s very important that we have someone on our side who could “translate” our meanings to third parties, the customer or our community.
