Deloitte Silicon Beach Australian Startup EcosystemDavid Adams
Leaving it in the ground
Imagine a rich seam of minerals under ground. We’ve poked around and we know its there: lots of value
=just waiting to be uncovered. Imagine too that we
also know there is a market, growing larger each month, with an insatiable demand for consuming these treasures. Now, imagine that the people who live around the seam are born with an aptitude for mining. We are a mining country and we know this story well. But, unusually for Australia, we are leaving this seam in the ground untapped.
Even if the commodities boom lasts decades, Australia is in trouble.
In Silicon Valley it took 60 years to create the structural, cultural & financial infrastructure to repeatedly create new billion dollar technology based industries. The problem is, we are wired to think in a linear way. We massively underestimate the long term impact of current technology trends & market shifts impacted by the technology.
Adrian Turner, Author of ‘Blue Sky Mining’
If startups were treated as a natural resource,
people would ask why we’re ‘leaving them in the ground’. Australia can improve at what Adrian Turner calls ‘Blue Sky Mining’ in his book of the same name.
Background
Silicon Beach represents rare research of Australia’s startups to help Australian businesses and governments target their actions to support this vital sector. In 2011, The Startup Genome Project (blog.startupcompass.co) revealed its first set of international findings. Through surveying thousands of startups it looked for patterns which emerged from data-driven analysis. The report revealed new insights which helped the global startup community answer common questions including:
• How much should I be spending at the different growth stages?
• How long does it take?
• How many customers should I have by now?
• Is it this hard for everybody or just me?
“This first Australian Ecosystem Report ‘Silicon Beach’ is a vital contribution to further the awareness of why technology entrepreneurship is important to Australia and where it has room for improvement. It provides much needed perspective as technology entrepreneurship is evolving to become a new fundamental to the Australian economy. The public interest will be increasing and more stakeholders will participate in the Australian startup ecosystem. This report will fuel the public dialogue in order to co-ordinate the necessary dynamics between entrepreneurs, investors, corporate development and policy makers. I want to thank Pollenizer for taking the lead in summoning representatives of each of these groups, Deloitte Private and Startup Genome to create this report.”

What can DesignOps do for you? by Carol Smith at TLMUX in MontrealCarol Smith
You have probably seen the terms DesignOps and/or ResearchOps float by in your social media queue. These teams make designing (and researching) at scale beautifully efficient and successful. Carol steps through how these teams work, the types of activities they perform, situations they are helpful for, and ways you can leverage these types of programs in your organization. Carol will share examples from her experiences and stories from other organizations that are using Design Ops to do effective design at scale.

Navigating challenges in IA people management at IAC19Carol Smith
Whether you are building a team, managing experience practitioners or navigating career changers, managing a team of creative and analytical IA practitioners can be challenging. The welcome change towards diverse and inclusive hiring practices can add even more challenges.
Learn how an experienced manager navigated through painful challenges and wonderful successes while managing large and small design departments in organizations with employees around the world. Presented at IA Conference 2019 in Orlando Florida by Carol Smith.
1-Page L.I.S.T.: Community Problem Solving & Design (CPSD) for Kids, Entrepr...Rod King, Ph.D.
This presentation introduces the 1-Page LIST, which is a new visual tool for Community Problem Solving & Design (CPSD). Based on Innovate Salone's 8 Topics for a Project Proposal, the visual tool of the 1-Page LIST is designed to be used in every phase of an innovation project cycle: from idea conception to problem-solution fit and product-market fit to business model fitness/scaling. The 1-Page LIST debunks the myth of "One Tool Does Not Fit All." As a customizable platform tool, the 1-Page LIST is the main tool for the methodology of Universal Problem Solving & Performance Management (UPSPM). Consequently, the 1-Page LIST can be used in conjunction with all ideas, tools, and methodologies in business and organizational development. Favorite complementary tools and methodologies include the Kanban Board, Business Model Canvas, and Lean Canvas as well as Design Thinking, Lean Startup Methodology, and Six Sigma Methodology. Using the 1-Page LIST saves teams tremendous time, money, and other resources as well as greatly facilitates communication in multi-disciplinary teams. The framework of the 1-Page LIST is tacitly/explicitly used in innovation and improvement projects around the world especially in community problem solving programs in Sierra Leone, Kenya, and South Africa.
The Project Molecule: A Better Way to Organize Space and Time for Any ProjectRod King, Ph.D.
There are many ways to organize a project. However, the simplest way to organize a project is using six question-tags: When; Where; Who; What; Why; How. Rudyard Kipling, an English writer and poet, referred to these six question-tags as "Six Honest Serving Men." In school, children at Kindergarten are taught how to organize and present their ideas using the six question-tags.
Although the six question-tags have been used for centuries for organizing and presenting ideas, the hierarchical relationship between the question-tags has not been explored. In this presentation, a new organization of the question-tags is offered: When (Time) and Where (Space) are considered to be the fundamental but inextricably linked "superatom" for organizing reality in the past, present, and future. Where or space is considered to be analogous to an ecosystem, which is further broken down into four question-tags: Who; What; Why; How. Consequently, the six question-tags are said to constitute an "Ecosystem Hierarchy" while the four question-tags constitute the system or "molecule."
A core idea of this presentation is that any project can be better organized using a Project or SpaceTime Molecule that can be visually presented as an Ecosystem Hierarchy. Several formats of the Project Molecule are presented including a linear, 3x3 grid, tetrahedral mind map, and 'Periodic Table' format. These Project Molecules can be used for holistically organizing and managing ideas for any project. The Project Molecule is synonymous with the term, "Business Model Molecule."

Expressing and Exploiting Multi-Dimensional Locality in DASHMenlo Systems GmbH
DASH is a realization of the PGAS (partitioned global address space) programming model in the form of a C++ template library. It provides a multidimensional array abstraction which is typically used as an underlying container for stencil- and dense matrix operations.
Efficiency of operations on a distributed multi-dimensional array highly depends on the distribution of its elements to processes and the communication strategy used to propagate values between them. Locality can only be improved by employing an optimal distribution that is specific to the implementation of the algorithm, run-time parameters such as node topology, and numerous additional aspects. Application developers do not know these implications which also might change in future releases of DASH.
In the following, we identify fundamental properties of distribution patterns that are prevalent in existing HPC applications.
We describe a classification scheme of multi-dimensional distributions based on these properties and demonstrate how distribution patterns can be optimized for locality and communication avoidance automatically and, to a great extent, at compile time.

Internet of Things: How Finance Should Embrace the Coming Flood to Drive Top-...Gotransverse
Internet of Things (IoT) is already having a significant impact on the creation of new products and services across a number of verticals. But to generate new revenue from IoT, companies need to transform the incoming information from smart, connected products into services by offering the entire product “as-a-service”, “as-you-consume”, or using the product’s data stream to engage customers with additional services.
This webinar will cover the true IoT opportunity, feature companies already benefiting from connectivity, and discuss what finance needs to do to prepare for this 4th Industrial Revolution.

Rounding up the hottest web design trends set to dominate 2016.
Like any other field of design, web design trends come and go with the passing of time. Website design has a relentless drive to change, because platform is ever changing.
The visual landscape for web designers has remained largely as it was in 2015, with a refinement of the minimalist approach that has become popular over the past few years. Underneath the aesthetic treatment of pages, however, the web has been quietly progressing. Our presentation shows more.
Overview of SparkLabs, Asia's leading accelerator. Based in Seoul, South Korea.
SparkLabs is a startup accelerator founded by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs in South Korea. The focus will be on startup companies from the Internet, online gaming, mobile, ecommerce, digital media sectors and healthcare. The mentorship-driven program will be three months in length and provides funding, office space, a structure program and access to a top-tier network of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors and executives.
"Corporate Innovation Summit 2019" by Rise Accel, Workshop speaker for "Legal Best Practice For Startup-Corporates Collaboration: The Rules Of The Road" (29 Mar 2019)
Chinaccelerator, in cooperation with Tech Temple and GWC, once again hosted their program-annual 10X10 Beijing on March 8th, 2014.
The Geeks on a Train tour takes the Chinaccelerator startups on a ride from Shanghai to Beijing, then back down to Hangzhou before returning to Shanghai.
As part of the tour, the 10x10 conference brings attendees 10 tech pioneers (in this case we had 12!) and top VC's from the startup ecosystem in China. This is an amazing opportunity for attendees to have a peek at the first startup accelerator program in China, meet interesting people and listen to amazing speakers.
As always, each of them takes attendees on a 10-minute tour of their own startup trials and tribulations, wins and losses, then give some great advice and maybe a secret or two about what they learned to help make them the superstars they are today.
These are their slides, we hope you enjoy them. Thank you for supporting Chinaccelerator and entrepreneurship worldwide.
Laicos is a technology Startup Studio led by Ryan Negri and Kyle Matthews. With 20 years combined operational and startup experience, Negri and Matthews want to shape the up-and-coming startup ecosystem of Tampa, Florida, developing their own ideas to create a new tech hub of innovation and entrepreneurship.
A “Startup Studio” is a structure whose aim is to repeatedly build products into companies. Thanks to its infrastructure and resources, a startup studio increase a product’s chance of success and optimize its creation and growth.
The difference between incubators/accelerators and Startup Studios is the vested human capital involved around an idea. At the core of the startups studio model are dedicated teams helping business ideas develop into beautiful products and successful companies.
Laicos’ flagship inaugural product, Fuse, is a social media management platform for the consumers and power users, with a simple price model and a clean and attractive UI. In addition, Laicos is developing four additional products: BusFinder, currently in beta version, an app utilizing data from the Tampa Public Transportation System; $1Market, to offer many different services to users for $1 dollar/mo, Order to Seat, for fans to order food to their seat while at a stadium or arena, and FoodStops, a food truck tracking app for consumers and marketing platform for vendors. In 20I7, we plan to work with other founders to help turn their ideas into reality.

Innovation is everywhere - Hong Kong Innovation Ecosystem and Startup SceneInnovation is Everywhere
Hong Kong is dubbed "Asia's world city", and would also love to be the tech capital of the most dynamic and populous region of the world, halfway between the North Asia giant (China, South Korea, Japan) and the fast-growing South-East Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam...).
With 8m inhabitants, a British past and a recent come-back into China, can Hong Kong be the hub it is already financially? To be true, there's a world between Hong Kong and China, and it makes of the city-island-state-special administrative area quite an isolated dot.
Of course, the manufacture and financial history and expertise of the city can be seen quite vividly in its startup scene, where "fintech" is quite advanced.
In this review, you will see how Hong Kong has turned into an innovation hub mostly thanks to a small community of determined entrepreneurs, its best practices as an ecosystem, and its strengths and weaknesses as well.

Innovation is Everywhere - Hong Kong innovation ecosystemAgence Tesla
Hong Kong is a very particular place in China. After a long British rule, it's "Chinese" again, but keeps its identity as the financial hub of Asia.
How Hong Kong is trying to become a startup Hub for both China and Asia? What are the best practices of the local tech ecosystem? What are the startups to remember?
Mixing an analysis of the history of technological innovation, present-day trends and identifying both top connectors and good ideas to foster entrepreneurship, this report aims to give a broad overview of what's happening in Hong Kong right now in 2014.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.

This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
