Smart Transportation Innovations Transforming the Future of Hong Kong 🚀 As someone passionate about the intersection of technology and transportation, I was fascinated to read about the advancements showcased by #Neuvix Intelligent Technology, a Shanghai-based startup that has expanded its operations to Hong Kong. Neuvix's innovative solutions, including their #NEX-Core AI and NEX-Meta #digitaltwin platforms, are truly revolutionizing the way we approach public transportation safety and efficiency. Witnessing their successful implementation in mainland China, particularly in regulating bus driver behavior and enhancing passenger safety on ferries, has left me excited about the transformative potential of these technologies. What's even more impressive is the unwavering support and investment from the #HongKong government and #HKSTP (Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation) in the local #innovation and #technology (I&T) industry. As a global maritime logistics hub, Hong Kong is perfectly positioned to spearhead the digital transformation of the #maritime sector. Integrating #digitaltwin technology and #AI-powered analytics can unlock unprecedented opportunities for optimizing port operations, vessel management, and overall supply chain efficiency. By leveraging data-driven insights and improving safety measures, these innovations can elevate Hong Kong's status as a world-class maritime powerhouse. 🌉 The successful expansion of Neuvix to Hong Kong and their showcasing of smart transportation solutions at InnoEX 2024 are clear indicators of the immense potential for collaboration and cross-sector partnerships. As the maritime industry continues to embrace digital transformation, innovative startups like Neuvix will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of intelligent transportation and smart city development. I'm truly excited to see what the future holds and how these advancements will positively impact the lives of Hong Kong's citizens and the overall competitiveness of the city's maritime industry. 🌍⚓️ #Neuvix.AI #SmartCity #smartport #smartship #DigitalTransformation #MaritimeInnovation #HongKong #Startups #FutureOfTransportation #GPCS https://lnkd.in/gswyfCge

Nexus 2050, the brand new tech event in Luxembourg will start tomorrow👍️ We proudly announce the participation of five pioneering Japanese startups, each showcasing groundbreaking technologies. On this occasion we take the opportunity to introduce CARBON FLY. CARBON FLY, founded in Tokyo in January 2022 by materials scientists, is dedicated to the development and mass production of ultra-high quality Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs). CARBON FLY has overcome longstanding challenges in the CNT industry by successfully developing technology to control and mass-produce high-quality CNTs. CARBON FLY's CNTs can be formed into powders, fibers, and films, making them versatile for various applications. It can be used not only as a conductive paste for lithium-ion batteries, but also as a basic material in all fields, including aerospace, mobility and energy. Furthermore, CARBON FLY is at the forefront of sustainability. They are actively researching the use of CO2 as a raw material for producing ultra-high quality CNTs, contributing to the goal of carbon neutrality. Join us in welcoming CARBON FLY to Luxembourg and explore their groundbreaking technologies that are set to revolutionize multiple industries. Don’t miss their pitch on June 26th from 11:37 to 11:41 and be sure to stop at booth H78 on the same day to see their innovations up close.

We must boost competitiveness of manufacturers in turbulent times! 🌍 Last month, Christian and Alexandra from SupplyET attended HANNOVER MESSE 2024, the global meeting point in manufacturing. What stood out: Companies must respond faster to volatile markets, and they must become quicker in adopting new technology! 💡 With our software, we are committed to helping manufacturers plan their capacities faster and more flexibly! During the event, we presented our solution at the startup area of the Digital Hub Initiative. The tremendous feedback confirms: Our visual, AI-powered software fills a gap. 🎤 Highlights: We dived into our usage of AI with Dr. Daniela Brönstrup, Director for Digital and Innovation Policy at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. We pitched on the Industrial Startup Stage, and we were interviewed by Metal Works TV! ⏩ If you want to learn about our approach, watch the video (in German) below!

I believe that trade shows such as the EMO Hannover are a great opportunity to connect with people one would otherwise probably not come across. That is a great opportunity, especially for young organisations – which still applies to EIT Manufacturing, which was founded in 2019. In the meantime, we have developed into the largest European #innovation network for #manufacturing. This is why the motto for our presence at EMO Hannover is simply: Connecting the dots.   We are looking forward to presenting 20 #startups from 12 countries, thus supporting innovation in manufacturing. In my opinion, startups are an important driver of change. We see successful collaboration with SMEs and large industry every day – so if you are interested, meet them in Hall 9 | E34. At our own booth, we have an open space for #networking. As an organisation, we support companies to find the right partners to make #transformation happen. And we help innovators to bring their solution to the market through public #investments. You are certain to learn something you didn’t know in Hall 9 | B40.   And last, but not least, we are active in the European Manufacturing #Data & Service #Ecosystem, a collaboration of five research and innovation projects that share the aim of making European manufacturing more resilient and more competitive. Meet AMIDS - Austrian Manufacturing Innovation Data Space, #DIONEX, #ESCOM, EuProGigant Ecosystem and Flex4Res in Hall 9 | H22.   #connectingthedots #makinginnovationhappen VDMA VDW (Verein Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabriken) CECIMO

Manufacturing is a game of scale and access to the global supply chain is the key. That access means “knowing what material and technique is available and getting it at the right price, at the right time, and then transporting them efficiently to your manufacturing location”. Entech is working tirelessly to achieve this goal. We want to enable all the startups and SMEs in ANZ to innovate and manufacture. Our goal is to train the next generation of manufacturing experts and we want to share everything we know with the innovation ecosystem. As Professor Roy Green said: “We need to create a condition for winners to pick themselves. We have to create a sense of purpose. A national purpose.” By connecting our three manufacturing locations in Australia, China and Malaysia, we will serve everyone better. Entech is a globally connected enabler for our innovation and manufacturing ecosystem. #AustralianManufacturing #ElectronicsManufacturing #Innovation #GlobalSupplyChain
