🌍 Exciting times in #innovation! Last week’s Plug and Play Tech Center's Winter Summit brought together Startups, VCs, and Corporates to explore our biggest challenges. The #future of business is being shaped by cutting-edge technologies like #AI, #sustainability, and #MaterialScience. Here are some of the key takeaways: ⚡ AI continues its transformational march. But this time, we heard more talk about #SmallLanguageModels. These offer less hallucination than their large counterparts, and can be better suited for vertical specific use cases. 💡 #BusinessModelInnovation: A potentially huge shift is how companies pay for software: historically, we went from licenses to subscriptions to usage-based pricing models. Now, confident AI companies are starting to do outcome-based pricing, which aligns customer and vendor incentives more closely. 🌱 Innovations in sustainability: #CarbonCapture and #efuels are the main drivers, as well as #hydrogen. And if you’re in Switzerland and working on hydrogen, follow Plug and Play Tech Center because they’re organizing a hydrogen week in Switzerland in February! 💎 Advances in materials science: genAI is helping iterate hardware prototyping and create new materials, including #DiamondSemiconductors, proteins, antibiotics and #PhotonicComputing. 🚀 What are your thoughts on these emerging trends? #energy #materialsScience #startups #SiliconValley

America's spirit of entrepreneurship has long driven global innovation, but we're now facing a critical slowdown. Our leading companies aren't innovating as rapidly, and early-stage innovators lack the financial support they need. This has significant implications for our global competitiveness and the commercialization of groundbreaking technologies. At Aventurine Capital Group, we're addressing this by investing in early-stage intellectual property and technology companies in sectors like AI, robotics, and quantum computing. Our perpetual fund allows us to focus on long-term returns and broad-based royalties, supporting innovations from the ground up. Together, we aim to restore America's leadership in global modernization and overcome the current innovation crisis. https://lnkd.in/gAtz2Xcx #AI #Robotics #QuantumComputing #IP #VC #Patents #DeepTech
