Petri Rajahalme (Expert for expanding companies, Tekes) tells about funding for Finnish companies expanding in, for example, Russia, which could amount up to 200,000 Euro.
This document summarizes an organization's journey toward adopting DevOps practices and principles. It began with the goal of achieving some level 1 DevOps capabilities while aiming more for levels 2 and 3. Over time, the organization implemented practices like deployment pipelines, infrastructure excellence, test automation, and shared services. The next goals are to reduce technical debt, limit work in progress, integrate security controls, and involve operations engineers in development teams. The key takeaways are to create a common DevOps understanding, invest in people, consider processes early, and expect setbacks during transformation.
The document discusses a construction company's commitment to sustainability. It emphasizes green building practices for all projects, incorporates LEED certification requirements, and works closely with clients throughout projects to determine how to meet sustainability goals through cost analysis, design input, material procurement, and LEED-certified construction management. The company also supports employees achieving LEED Accredited Professional status, and has 40 construction professionals with this recognition.
The document discusses developing architects through capability-based training programs. It notes that the demand for architects exceeds supply, and in-house training has been ineffective. It advocates defining capabilities that architects should demonstrate, such as preparing architecture documents. It also recommends experience-based programs that impart knowledge, provide mentorship and assess capabilities through activities, exercises and projects. The goal is to align training with business needs and develop architects through a structured, outcomes-focused approach.

Take a look at your desk. Now take a look at the wall. Now take a look at your hallway. If you're working in IT delivery or infrastructure chances are your eyes have at least met one dashboard, if not more, while your gaze was wondering.
How often do you actually look at said dashboard(s)? How much of the information it presents is tailored towards you? Is the dashboard actually helpful .. is it .. valuable .. to you?
The way the human mind captures, processes and interprets information is different for everyone, however, the results for our dashboards are supposed to be the same: an informed human at the helm of their digital garden of products. The way we design dashboards though is largely different, an information overload, cramming as much information into them "because we might need them some day" and not because we actually need them. Therefore, we forego the one advantage dashboards have over other traditional methods of information capture: Immediacy and relevancy. And that sucks. Let me introduce you to a couple of examples and a few ways out of the information jungle. For better, well-informed decision making at a moment's notice!
From a hole in the ground to a big profit. Projects are about investing to get a return on the investment. Often when we talk about project/programme management we talk about managing things that are inside the project such as people, schedules etc. That's not what really matters from a capital perspective. What really matters is if the engagements are going to be profitable or not. Projects are indirect financed on the open capital market in competition with other investments.

The Defence and Security Accelerator is an innovation network established in 2016 to find and exploit innovations that support UK defence and security. It provides multiple entry points for innovators, including open calls and themed competitions. It offers a simple application process, funding for successful proposals, and support to help bring ideas to UK defence and security customers. Recent themed competitions have focused on areas like autonomous resupply, human-information relationships, battery power alternatives, and aviation security.
The document summarizes an innovation network event hosted by the Defence and Security Accelerator to launch a competition called "Improving Crowd Resilience". The event provided an overview of the competition which seeks innovative solutions that can use crowds to detect explosive and weapon threats in public spaces. Specifically, it challenges participants to develop technologies or methods that can 1) detect crowds' conscious and subconscious reactions to threats, 2) train the public to spot threats, or 3) enable crowds to report potential threats. Representatives from the Accelerator and Home Office discussed the goals and scope of the competition, emphasized their interest in multi-layered approaches, and took questions from attendees.
The document discusses challenges with rapidly integrating new sensors for military use. It describes how sensors currently have different data formats and standards, making integration difficult.

This would help overcome issues around scalability and real-time performance when exploiting sensor data for military operations.
This document discusses potential applications of synthetic biology for developing novel transparent materials and adhesives/interlayer materials. It notes that new materials could help address issues like moisture degradation, delamination, and reducing costs. The document outlines challenges with current materials and desirable properties for new solutions. It provides details on a competition seeking proposals for using synthetic biology to create novel transparent materials or adhesives/interlayers, noting what is and isn't desired in submissions. Overall the document scopes opportunities for synthetic biology to enhance transparent materials for defense applications.
The document discusses utilizing synthetic biology to develop novel transparent materials for defence applications such as transparent armor. It describes two challenges for a competition: 1) producing and characterizing novel transparent materials, and 2) developing adhesives and interlayer materials compatible with transparent armor. Currently, transparent armor has poor ballistic performance compared to opaque armor and is expensive due to specialized materials and processing required. Synthetic biology may be able to create new transparent composite materials inspired by biology with enhanced properties for armor applications.
The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While smaller robots are safer and more practical for defense applications, current battery technology only allows for an hour or two of operation, which is not enough. Batteries are also limited in their energy density and unlikely to improve much in the next 10-20 years. The document proposes potential alternative power solutions that could be explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that last a day or two before recycling. It concludes that long-endurance power sources for smaller robots present an opportunity for defense applications if technical challenges can be addressed.
The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While small robots are attractive for defense applications like reconnaissance and patrolling, battery technology cannot provide enough energy density for more than an hour or two of operation. Fuel cells and generators are not feasible options at small scales either. However, the document suggests some potential solutions being explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that could operate for a day before recycling. The goal is to develop alternative power sources that would enable the widespread use of smaller autonomous robots in defense applications.
