The Draghi report proposes the creation of an EU DARPA-style agency to push breakthroughs in 𝗔𝗜, 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, and other critical technologies. While the European Innovation Council (EIC) is already backing startups and cutting-edge research, this new agency could focus on high-risk, long-term projects that need bold investment. For those of us working with Horizon Europe, this could mean new opportunities and a shift in how we approach tech funding and development. How do you see this impacting the EU innovation ecosystem? #Innovation #HorizonEurope #EIC #EUResearch #TechLeadership #DeepTech #AI #QuantumComputing #FutureOfInnovation

2024 was the year artificial intelligence transformed from a technological concept to a practical solution for complex global challenges. As researchers and innovators, we're not just developing algorithms – we're building bridges between cutting-edge technology and tangible societal needs. This journey of discovery led to remarkable milestones: • Convened UPCON 2024, bringing together 21 countries to explore electrical, electronics, and computer engineering innovations. The conference wasn't just an event; it was a global dialogue about technological potential. • Published two pivotal books with IGI Global, including one selected for Scopus indexing, highlighting the growing importance of research in AI and computational sciences. • Received the Research Excellence Award, a testament to the power of persistent, collaborative research that pushes technological boundaries. • Launched a dedicated website supporting AI researchers, creating a centralized hub for knowledge exchange, research opportunities, and professional development. Three posts that captured our collaborative spirit: 1. Research Excellence Award reflection: "This recognition is a testament to the power of persistence, innovation, and collaborative effort." https://lnkd.in/gjCq8g7v 2. UPCON 2024 insights: "We were honored to invite participants from 21 countries, enriching the conference with diverse perspectives and groundbreaking ideas." https://lnkd.in/gtC5UsrG 3. Patent breakthrough: "Delighted to share that patent have been granted: 'AI BASED SOLAR SORTING DEVICE'" https://lnkd.in/gBQYMjkp Looking ahead to 2025, our focus remains clear: bridging technological innovation with practical solutions. The future of AI isn't just about sophisticated algorithms, but about creating technologies that genuinely improve human experiences across renewable energy, healthcare, and beyond. To every researcher, collaborator, and innovator: our collective potential is unlimited when we approach technology with curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to solving real-world challenges. #LinkedInRewind #Coauthor #2024wrapped #AI #MachineLearning #Innovation

#Innovation | 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲'𝘀 𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 | A new European institute for Artificial Intelligence in science and future technologies should be created, according to a recommendation co-chaired by Andrea Emilio Rizzoli from the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Lugano. This initiative aims to provide high-performing computational power, sustainable cloud infrastructure, and AI training programs to educational and research institutions throughout Europe, in a community-driven approach. This recommendation unfolds as part of the Scientific Advice Mechanism, compiling expertise from over 100 institutions to ensure a fair and comprehensive representation of Europe's scientific landscape. The proposed institute will not only bolster Europe's AI capabilities but also address essential philosophical, legal, and ethical considerations linked to AI use, reinforcing a commitment to human rights, transparency, and accountability. 👉 Learn more >> https://lnkd.in/g4M7CDp8 🇨🇭 Follow #ScienceSwitzerland for the latest news and emerging trends on Swiss science, technology, education, and innovation >> www.swissinnovation.org Follow us >> Science-Switzerland #Science | #Education | #Research | #Innovation

#DisruptiveTech 🔵 Critical gaps have formed across Europe’s technology sector, with skills, investment and innovation being stunted in vital areas such as AI, quantum computing and space technology, according to a report from DIGITALEUROPE. The study titled ‘The EU’s Critical Gap: Rethinking Economic Security to Put Europe Back on the Map,’ claims that Europe is significantly lagging in key technologies. Among 8 technologies that were analysed, Europe was shown to be lagging behind in 7, only leading in advanced connectivity, with major investments and profits in this sector are being led primarily by the US. The study argues that there is a significant shortfall in public and private investment across several critical technologies, particularly #AI, #quantumcomputing and #spacetechnology with investment in AI startups being one-seventh of that in the US. #skills #techskills #technology Campaign Catapult, Pravo Consulting
