The Bioindustry Park Silvano Fumero is a 22,000 square meter science park specialized in healthcare located in Italy. It houses labs, office spaces, and a conference center for companies. The park also provides consultancy services and manages bioPmed, a cluster of over 250 healthcare companies. BioPmed takes a "converging technologies" approach, bringing together different fields like ICT, mechatronics, and materials to find innovative medical solutions. The Bioprotech project aims to improve research capacities at the Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax in Tunisia around bioprocesses and biotech applications, and better integrate it with the European Research Area through collaboration with partners from Italy, France, and Germany.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

The “traditional approach”
(One problem, one technology, one solution)
The “NEW” approach”
(Converging technologies)
- Up to 250 companies working specifically in
health care
- Over xx.000 companies working in ICT,
Mechatronics, New Materials, textiles, etc
80 bioPmed cluster CORE MEMBERS
share the approach of an Healthcare cluster aiming at
“Overlapping different technological knowledge to reach innovative solutions to
unmet medical needs and ensure a better future
Impact on Industry-research collaborations
8. Why to internationalize???
• Problems are global, Markets are global, finance is more and
Companies& R&D
more global, science is global, , optimizing health care costs
is a global trend…......…..
• Big players are “global”: they are acting following a global
strategy
• Small/medium players are willing to be global but….
– Lack of culture and skills
– Too focused on scientific development more than to company
development
– Not enough resources
– Need for partnerships
• Critical mass in R&D and innovative companies become
critical factors for territorial development
Regions
• Financial resources are scarce: single actors and single
territories can’t afford the entire spectrum of investments of
R&D to be competitive in every sector
• Lower transfer of public resources to R&D facilities
• Need to maximise positive impact of investments realised
(job creation and sustainability)
• Local policies are interconnected (e.g. EU influence..)
9. Why to cooperate in the mediterranean
area?
• Advantages from the cooperative approach:
– Starting from local assets exploiting synergies between
territories
– Win-win activities: complementarity approach (value
effective)
– Exploiting in a cooperative way the best components of
a process also if they are located in a different territory
– Minimize “bad” competition
– Sustainability
– Minimize duplications of activities
It requires a cultural shift!!!!!

15. Lesson learned..up to now
• Human resources are a key factor
• General training on TT is not perceived as useful:
specific/need focused training is well accepted/requested
• Avoid fire and forget activities: coaching and follow-up
caractherised by a specialistc/sectorial focus
• Community bulding approach as tool to growth, also
internationally
• Usually science is not a problem…exploitation at local
leve is a problem..
• Identify direct positive impact on the local system as a
driver
• It takes time…………
16. Example of support
• Start-up: Production of antigens, antibodies and
diagnosis kit developement (2008)
• Specific critical analisys of business idea (2010)
• Identification of scientifc assets/market assets/USP and
strategic advice (2010)
• Coaching in drafting business plan toghether with a
Tunisian consultants (2010)
• Support in developing a presentation for an elevator
pitch (US based investors) (2011). Identified as selected
project for a business trip in US for identification of
investors and analisys of market opportunities
