The document discusses New York City's efforts to create a vibrant tech innovation ecosystem by addressing weaknesses in talent, capital, and space through policies to improve education, provide seed funding, and establish collaboration spaces. It notes that while New York's investment levels and number of large exits have grown, many founders lack technical backgrounds and many jobs in the sector remain below the masters level.

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.
Innovation is Everywhere is a project where we visit one country per month to discover, explore and share stories on local innovation, startup, and the tech ecosystem.
Follow us on www.innovationiseverywhere.com to get more reports, we also publish our news in tech blogs here and there.
Orlando Technology Growth Trends And Why Startup Communities MatterSPLYT
Originally presented April 24, 2014 to the Orlando Chamber of Commerce's Business Roundtable attendees by Philip Holt, CEO and co-founder of SPLYT and co-founder of Canvs. Philip gives an overview of tech growth trends around the world and reveals why startup communities are so important to a city's economy.
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.
Read more about us as we roam the world to explore the emerging markets startups scenes, from Iran to Chile, from China to Nigeria.

Digital Opportunities: Innovative ICT Solutions for Youth EmploymentITU
ITU's Digital Opportunities: Innovative ICT Solutions for Youth Employment report is designed to identify strategies and trends to combat youth unemployment. It has an important message for youth, private sector, academia and government policy makers:- youth need digital skills if they want to get a job or start a business. The demand for both basic + advanced ICT skills cuts across all sectors in all countries.
(Presentation done at the mEducation Alliance event on October 16, 2013)
The mission of the Mobile Innovation Network is to empower young people worldwide to create personally meaningful and socially-relevant mobile applications. The MIN will be an association of Mobile Innovation Clubs, groups formed by youth members and facilitators from community organizations and supported by like-minded technical learning centers.
To learn more about the Network, please check: http://explore.appinventor.mit.edu/MIN_one-pager_14oct13.pdf
Solutions to reducing gaps in digital literacy, broadband access and technology use started at the grassroots level. Having been through two federal programs in the United States, we now have top down attention and approaches being created. We learned from BTOP (Broadband Technology Opportunities Program) the necessity of working through trusted organizations and individuals to increase information technology skills and home broadband adoption. Local approach is essential.
Institutionalizing digital inclusion brings necessary attention and funding. Seattle and Minneapolis have staff dedicated to leading and coordinating digital inclusion efforts. Austin and Chicago are investing local resources in digital inclusion. The Google Fiber being deployed in Kansas City has resulted in funding and community collaborations focused upon making sure all residents benefit from the high-speed network in Kansas City. One of Broadband Rhode Island’s strategies has been to integrate digital inclusion into existing programs and initiatives. They have successfully had broadband data included in an open data warehouse, digital literacy included in the state’s adult education program, and broadband infrastructure and adoption data included in a statewide planning process.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
