Go Hanshin Tigers! While pitching at the Hack Osaka 2023, I shouted that on my second slide and congratulated Osaka City on Hanshin Tigers winning the championship. Congratulations to the Osaka City, Urban Innovation Institute, JETRO - Collaborate & Invest Japan, JETRO - Japan External Trade Organization and Osaka Business Development Agency (大阪産業局) for the amazing and successful Global Innovation Conference Hack Osaka 2023 event! Within the past two days, SoundEye met nearly 80 Japanese corporations. I like the short dinner and lunch meetings - where we can have different corporations in a single room. I have to say, this is one of the most productive two-day business trips that I've ever had! After the Hack Osaka event, Deloitte and JETRO - Collaborate & Invest Japan arranged several meetings for SoundEye in Osaka. After the day's first meeting, we generated interest and secured a real-world trial in the healthcare facility. There are a few more to go later today, and fingers crossed that the rest of the meeting will be as smooth as this! Thumbs up to Nakayama-san (Jetro Osaka) and Kazumi Kiewai Khoo (Jetro Singapore). Osaka is currently preparing for the Osaka Expo 2025. Hence, there are a lot of opportunities and demands for innovation. I'll return to Japan in January 2024 to visit and deploy LASSO to a few cities. I am definitely looking forward to returning to Osaka soon to collaborate and develop a more caring society here!

Poland's tech revolution: shaping the future of event technology You all know that one of my passions lies in Event Technology. Hence it is the focus of this week’s post as part of the campaign: Poland. More than you expected. Poland is experiencing a tech revolution, and it's not just about software and hardware. The country is making waves in the innovative world of event technologies, transforming the way we experience and manage events. 🚀 Here are some Polish #eventtech companies that we should definitely check out: Event management platforms:  ⚪ Attendify 🔴 Gridaly ⚪️ Eventbase  Virtual event platform: ⚪ Eventory by 6Connex Poland has seen a remarkable transformation in its tech sector over the past decade. The commitment to education in #STEM fields, the proliferation of tech startups, and government support have all played a crucial role in propelling Poland into a burgeoning tech powerhouse in Europe. ▶ Poland is sitting on a gold mine of tech talent; it ranks number four overall in terms of STEM graduates and first in terms of female STEM graduates in the European Union. It's this high concentration of tech talent sets Poland up to be a real contender in the next five to ten years in a world that's becoming more and more digital. ▶ More and more modern and prestigious spaces are equipped with the latest generation of technical facilities, and the interior design impresses with its innovative approach to the arrangement of conference spaces. Examples are CKF_13 Centrum Konferencyjne Fabryczna, Mercure Fabryczna Hotel in Kraków or the streaming studios at Lubelskie Centrum Konferencyjne. ▶ By fostering a skilled workforce and providing access to advanced infrastructure, Poland is positioning itself as a leading destination for hosting world-class events. A pool of talented individuals with the necessary skills and expertise to support the events industry.

From the hustle of setting up our booth The Business Show Singapore to diving deep into the needs of our booth visitors, engaging in pivotal meetings, forging connections with fellow exhibitors, and even hosting a memorable alumnus meet-up, every moment has been filled with excitement and opportunity. I must mention the delightful conversations I had with fellow exhibitors like Sabyasachi Konar (Sab), Rebecca Kane, SHITIJ BATHLA, and Ravijeet Dang amongst many others. It just emphasizes how every industry needs an ecosystem to flourish. For IT we could see companies from marketing, recruitment, software services, financial services, and even real estate mark their presence on the business show. The global presence of companies showcasing their innovations was truly spectacular. It's a testament to the boundless potential that lies at the intersection of technology and human experience. One highlight of the event was Think Future Technologies CEO Vijay Krishan Gupta delivering an awe-inspiring talk on "Simplifying the Path to Technology Adoption." It was a showstopper that emphasized the importance of making complex technology appear simple and accessible to users. The examples given on the journey of Google's UI and translating it to simplify technology for users were unique. Our team with Prakhar Gupta & Sara Dhingra provided relevant solutions to booth visitors all through the exhibition. The learnings continued even post the event, where I connected with CMU alums like Bertrand Lee. I also made new friends in the region like Joanne FLINN, Zeus Chen, and Tim Xiaoming Hu. Amidst our bustling schedule, we were fortunate to steal moments for exploration, finding solace in the serene Aquarium and the breathtaking Gardens by the Bay. These natural retreats were a welcome escape amidst our busy endeavours. In summary, our time in Singapore has been nothing short of extraordinary, blending business, camaraderie, and exploration. Here's to more adventures and meaningful connections as we continue our journey in the world of technology. Unfortunately, the time was short, but let's catch up virtually if we haven't already.

As tech accelerates – we need to feel more connected as humans Technology can create new worlds. The emotional power of immersive tech-enabled experiences can elevate human connections, inspire awe and ignite new ideas.

"Exploring Germany's tech scene! 🚀 From historic charm to cutting-edge innovation, it's a unique journey. What's your favorite human touch in German tech? Share your thoughts! #TechInGermany"

I visited our Amsterdam and London offices at Klue last week. For other leaders that have growing offices in different geos, a couple reasons why you need to visit more frequently 👇 - Provide more clarity on decision-making. There's only so much context you can provide virtually on strategic decisions. Getting to sit down with folks on product direction is valuable to share the deeper 'why' behind these decisions. - Build connection as one team. These offices are a start-up within a start-up, but ultimately you're building one business with a common goal. Having brief 'water cooler' moments social gatherings goes a long way. - Appreciate the cultural differences in the region you're doing business in. I went to VivaTech in Paris and couldn't believe just how different it was to typical US conferences. What stood out was the variety of languages spoken for one - it helps you realize the importance of multilingual NLP may be for our product in EMEA. -- It felt like stepping in a time machine in the London and Amsterdam offices; like I was back in the early Vancouver HQ days a decade ago. Blown away by these lean team with a big mission and the entrepreneurial spirit to get it done.

The event features: ▪️ A solution-oriented stage program ▪️ Digital platform for pre-booking meetings and matchmaking ▪️ Engaging round-table discussions ▪️ Exhibition ▪️ Side events  ▪️ Networking mingle “We have seen a high demand for business driven sustainability topics on our stages and our last year's ZERO event was vastly overbooked. Therefore, we decided to make this year's event much bigger, with a clear strategy to continue growing the platform and community in the coming years.. Our goal is to showcase that there are great successes and opportunities in the shift towards ZERO. We will bring international leaders that can be learned from and inspire the participants,” says Omid Ekhlasi, CEO and Founder of Techarenan.
