D/Gauge has been nominated for 'Tech Innovator of the Year' amidst a number of others. If you believe in what D/Gauge is trying to do to advance the rail industry and make it more efficient and green, please consider voting for us on the link below. If we win, it can only raise the profile of the rail industry generally...

2024 ZGC Forum: Engineering Innovation Forum🌏💚 The ZGC Forum is a platform that carefully considers the major problems and future directions in the fields of high-tech industry, global advancement, innovation, and entrepreneurship. In this particular session, a group of eminent experts and scholars with expertise in high-tech innovation - Prof. Daniel Kammen, Dr. Zhou Ji, Prof. Raj Reddy, Prof. Tan Tianwei, Prof. Antonius Besseling, and Prof. Fan Daiming, discussed various emerging technologies and challengethat requirere solutions. The presenters not only discussed how developments in their disciplines will benefit humanity in the longterm , but they also looked at how these technologies may be combined to make the world a more promising place, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence. Many thanks to all participants for sharing valuable insights. And special appreciation to BUCT for organising this impactful forum, fostering collaboration and igniting ideas for a brighter and more sustainable future.

How innovation happens? The process of technology innovation is well understood – in the developed world at least – and broadly comprises a set of activities that include research, development, demonstration, and deployment. Mapping innovation in the real world is clearly more complex, and is highly specific to the technology and players involved. Attached Figure clarified the key stages to energy-technology innovation in a market economy. Finally : It is important to recognise that the innovation process is non-linear - there is interaction between its various stages.

In between CIRPASS I and II. A good short summary of where we are with this EU driven/funded project.

Science and business cooperation. In Manufacturing Innovation Valley by doing our day-to-day activities, we seek science-business synergies in various European innovation ecosystems, such as the Manufacturing KIC or EFFRA association, European universities and competence centers. It helps our SMEs expand and enter other markets, develop products for EU value chains, create new business opportunities or help companies develop new and commercialize previous innovation experiments or pilot projects. Today, the organizational Committee of Scientific Activities of Vilnius TECH and community of Manufacturing Innovation Valley DIH shared the common vision on implementation of MISSION of S3 of Lithuania in direction of "Smart and climate-neutral Lithuania". We speak about the best Vilnius TECH University practice and our experience in helping our clients' companies to be more prepared to participate in the program "Horizon Europe" and: • understand the rules of participation in international knowledge and innovation communities; • evaluate the company's R&D potential; • prepare the company's R&D strategy; We shared the insights and recommendations on how to use the potential of our member companies in R&D and innovation for common projects of the Manufacturing Future. We presented Manufuture's technology platform SRIA vision 2030 and present the activities of Manuvalley laboratories on those priority areas.  IN RE UAB; BaltLED; BMK - Biznio mašinų kompanija; UAB LOKMIS; UAB KEMEK Engineering; Diodela; Elteros projektai | BMS⚡️

Innovation is often key to exporting success. SMEs with a track record of innovation are more likely to export successfully than non-innovating firms. CSIRO has launch a new 8-week ‘ Innovate to Grow’ program for Queensland SMEs to learn how R&D can advance their innovative idea and how to plan for it. The free virtual program provides knowledge and tools, guest speakers and mentors. By the end of the program, participants will have a well-developed research question, assessed their collaboration options, written an R&D business case and a funding proposal. We encourage SMEs working in the following sub-sectors to apply: ⚙️ Manufactured materials and processes ⚡ Energy and batteries 💡 Digital manufacturing and mechatronics 🍉 Food and beverage manufacturing 🗜️ Industrial manufacturing 🌱 Biomedical manufacturing 🤖 Robotics Applications for the current program close on 13 October 2024 👉 https://lnkd.in/geXM_HvW

With the quality of The School of Technology & Innovation, in the light of innovation, we have acquired the necessary competencies to launch MVP strongly in the market and even achieve viral success. I would like to thank Dr. Suat Genç for his consultancy in this Innovation Camp. Silicon Valley Innovation Series From MVP to Innovative Business Launch with Innovation Engineering Approach
