Been a week since Inventures 2024, and I’m still buzzing with inspiration! As part of the Ministry of Technology and Innovation, I had the incredible opportunity to attend this groundbreaking event. Inventures 2024 was all about doing something new or innovating in ways that create real value. From quantum computing and AI to robotics and health innovations, the event brought together startups, ecosystem builders, and academia to push the boundaries of what's possible. One key takeaway: understanding people is the catalyst for true innovation. Connecting with individuals from diverse walks of life was the most rewarding part of my experience. Highlights included inspiring keynote speakers and impactful breakout sessions. Here are three tips to jumpstart your creativity from the event: 1. Turn towards fear. 2. Adopt the half-hour habit. 3. Let’s get physical. Also, a special shoutout to A-MEDICO for their inaugural annual meeting, which united industry experts and academia to advance discussions and collaboration in Alberta’s medical devices sector. Your efforts are paving the way for a brighter future in healthcare innovation. #Inventures2024 #Innovation #Technology #AI #Robotics #HealthcareInnovation #Startups #Networking #Collaboration #Creativity

Remember when sci-fi movies teased us with people controlling computers through thought or wearing contact lenses that projected entire virtual worlds? What once seemed like pure fantasy is now becoming reality — right now, in the hands of innovators like the team at XPANCEO. XPANCEO is redefining what’s possible in computing and human-technology interaction. With eight prototypes of their cutting-edge smart contact lenses — destined to merge into a seamless all-in-one solution with XR, health monitoring, night vision, and zoom features — and advancements in 2D materials, they’re shaping the future today. It’s wonderful to see this work earning global recognition. In just one month, Roman Axelrod, Managing Partner of XPANCEO, was honored as Entrepreneur of the Year by Entrepreneur Middle East, while Dr. Valentyn Volkov, Scientific Partner, was recognized as Technologist of the Year at Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech Awards. The team’s dedication to pushing boundaries in #deeptech perfectly demonstrates how scientific excellence and entrepreneurial vision combine to drive breakthrough innovation.

To take this further, if the same experiment could be performed in deflecting a sonar ping, then this could have implications for Submarines.
