Disporre di idee vincenti non è facile: secondo analisi dei database TNS, circa l’80% dei nuovi prodotti fallisce e solo un misero 1% delle idee valutate, si concretizza in un lancio di successo. Tutto questo aumenta la pressione sul processo di innovazione. Le aziende quindi devono focalizzarsi su un nuovo modello di screening che evidenzi le direttrici del processo d’innovazione, valutandone il potenziale di crescita fin dall’inizio. Bisogna poter selezionare le idee “giuste”, su cui investire evitando di disperdere risorse, così limitate, di questi tempi
For nine years in a row, Apple has been the most innovative company on the planet.
That designation comes care of Boston Consulting Group, the elite consultancy.
Since last year’s list, Google climbed over Samsung to take the second spot, sliding the South Korean manufacturer into third.
Three companies vaulted into the top 50: The Japanese conglomerate Hitachi landed at No. 37, Marc Benioff‘s SalesForce.com landed at No. 40, and the Chinese phone maker Xiaomi made it all the way to No. 35.

What has caused the return of the water hazard is unknwon- What is special is that unlikely events can create catastrophic losses and vulnerabilities with the poor segment of the communities. Issue is to differentiate direct causes and indirect causes of risk. So, one can focus on the real causes in order to prevent negative impacts of the risks, when it wil return a next time. In absence of data or statistical records, it is hardship to predict when the flood in mountain will be back. So, best is to prepare new options and scenario based on modelings. I has been said, it was God event and also people or the engieering works, urbanisms, pilgrims, aged techonologies. all these searches for risks sources are confudig with the risk impacts (direct or secundary). The real concern, according to me is people. Uttarakhand was a disaster made by men. Some, experts started to see the truth and root causes of the disaster- I believe, before the next occurence, they will take the opportunity to re-organize Uttarakhand urbanism and geography according to the numbers and sizes of the villages and municiplaities in relations with these debris and sediments zones aswell as carbages in link to the river channels and flows, so that when there is monsoon or heavy rais i Himalaya, river can expend in the river beds in the valley, which is quite a normal weahter phenomenum, but mainly if there is a municipality service to control the waste and the waste management services, to prevent waste and carbages accumulation, which could create artificial water reservoirs mountains. If no water drainage of the reservoirs is not made, the risk is like dam rupture, under the water elevation, the water pressures and tenses on the debris, garbages, sediments that are components of the reservoirs walls will reached a dangerous limit before the reservoir rupture.

AREAS OF INNOVATION: MIXED REALITY IN THE INDUSTRY AND OUR EVERYDAY LIFEsinnerschrader
The arrival of the HoloLens marks a turning point in creating applications that enrich the real world with virtual objects. The device’s immersive experience, which is referred to as Mixed Reality, opens up an entire world of potential uses in industrial enterprises as well as our everyday lives. Holograms not only enrich our environment – interaction with holograms also facilitates our daily activities. In this session we will give you an overview of what sets the HoloLens apart from other Augmented and Virtual Reality devices, what it can do and what you can do with it. We will also provide an outlook on the use cases we see for the device and discuss your own ideas for the HoloLens. And finally we would like to give you the opportunity for a short hands-on demo.

The high rate of technology penetration is affecting the state of financial services:
• Collaboration economy – driven by social media
• On the go behavior – driven by intensive lifestyles and the rise of mobile technology
• Convenience seeking – driven by connectivity (“the internet of things” and wearable technology)
Time spent on social networking by internet users worldwide is on the rise, causing more sharing and peer to peer behaviors resulting in the “collaboration economy”.
Global Mobile penetration continues to rise, giving birth to more on the go/ mobile financial solutions. Rising penetration of Wearable Technology offers opportunities for companies.
In the EU, online banking adoption rates are 49% in the EU, and in other countries, USA included, penetration surpassed 50%.
We expect Mobile financial services to grow at an accelerated rate, due to the increase in solutions offered through mobile devices as well as younger demographics demand for ultra-convenient solutions. According to the Federal Reserve, in the USA, use of mobile banking continues to rise but is yet to reach the rates of online banking: 43% of all mobile phone owners, and 53% of all smartphone owners with a bank account, had used mobile banking in the 12 months prior to the survey, compared to 71% who used online banking on a desktop, laptop or tablet computer in the same period.

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!

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”.

Speakers:
Akshay Agnihotri, Product Manager
Charlie Greenberg, Host
2. • 1. Unique Identification Authority
• For amassing a trove of biometric identification to activate benefits for
millions of Indians. The government office is using multimodal biometrics--
fingerprints, iris scans, and photographs--to build the world's most
ambitious identity database. A mammoth ecosystem of agencies deploys
its open, scalable model, and the robust system can enroll the identities of
a million people a day with 99.99% accuracy. It authenticates people over a
mobile phone network using a one-time password or their fingerprints
(illiteracy is a problem in India). In the process, it enables instant, paperless
provisioning of banking services and welfare benefits to millions of Indians
who lacked any identification until now. At last count, 450 million Indians
had received their new IDs and used them to make 40 million cash
transfers
3. • 2. ZipDial
• For dialing into the very Indian "missed call" money-saving tactic.
ZipDial's marketing and analytics platform is fashioned out of the ingenious
practice of escaping a charge by calling and hanging up to convey a
predecided message. Its unique business model works by providing a
number for brands to publish on their marketing campaigns. So far, ZipDial
has targeted 416 million callers for clients like Disney, Dove, and Coca-Cola,
which can now text customers about new deals and product launches.
India's largest political parties, the Congress and the BJP, have recently
signed up, which means ZipDial is now headed for the mainstream. The
service just launched in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and will soon be in
Indonesia and the Philippines
4. • 3. Innoz
• For bringing the Internet to India's vast underconnected masses.
Innoz's SMSGyan allows feature-phone users to access the Internet
anytime and from anywhere by facilitating their web searches via text
messages. The service has processed 1.3 billion queries so far and has
more than 120 million active users, mostly in India. But the service is
also growing in Africa, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia. Innoz
was launched by a group of engineering college dropouts who came
upon the idea when they weren't able to search for "How to woo
girls" on their very basic phones.
5. • 4. Goonj
• For galvanizing a behavior shift in urban India to care for those in need.
Goonj channels excess resources from urban households to impoverished,
rural, and disaster-struck areas. In exchange for clothes, furniture,
household goods, and medical supplies, village and slum communities self-
organize and build schools, roads, and toilet facilities. The company has
thus turned used clothes and other second-hand material into currency,
successfully leading more than 1,500 such projects in the past three years
alone. It recently delivered thousands of tons of material to the floodstruck
in the Himalayas, to cyclone victims in eastern Orissa, and to victims of
communal violence in central Muzaffarnagar, through a network of schools
and nonprofits. In a large country, Goonj is a game-changer, teaching urban
Indians when, what, and how to give.
6. • 5. Eram Scientific Solutions
• For improving the country's mess of a public-toilet network. Not
long ago, Bill Gates let the world know that he was serious about
building a better toilet. Eram Scientific Solutions, which makes the
Gates Foundation–backed Delight public toilet system, is just proof
that the man delivers on his promises. The company's toilet flushes
automatically--when people enter, after they leave, and every two
hours--to keep tidy, but it also saves energy with motion-sensor lights
and fans. Four hundred of them have been installed across the
country so far, with a reported 6,000 in the pipeline.
7. • 6. Mitra Biotech
• For rethinking conventional cancer drug therapies by applying data
analytics. Though it saves lives, chemotherapy--in which enough
toxins are pumped into the patient's body to kill malignant cells but
spare the host--is still a risky process. Founded by Harvard and MIT
researchers, Mitra Biotech's CANScript technology re-creates an
artificial environment for a patient's tumor sample and tests various
drugs on it directly, allowing the company to arrive at a personalized
treatment in less than a week. Mitra has formed partnerships with
several Indian hospitals and is eyeing a U.S. entry
8. • 7. InterviewStreet
• For leveling the playing ground for coders all over the world.
Interviewstreet's disruptive platform helps screen and hire
programmers through online coding tests and contests, thus matching
best performers from around the globe to business titans.
Interviewstreet counts Facebook, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, Zynga,
and Walmart among its customers, and it recently placed 40 Indian
computer-science students in some of the hottest jobs in the Valley
just as they were finishing up their degrees.
9. • 8. MyDentist
• For putting smiles on thousands of faces with a Starbucks-inspired
chain of dental offices. MyDentist is a two-year-old dental chain
based in Mumbai and Pune that has brought dimensions of the retail
business to dental treatment. With 75 locations throughout the
country, which will grow to 150 this year, MyDentist offers efficient
care at standard, transparent rates. It's affordable to the
underprivileged crowd, such as cab drivers and domestic workers,
who live in slum areas: Root canal treatments cost just 2,500 rupees
($40), and 21,000-rupee braces can be paid in 1,500-rupee ($24)
installments. The chain treats a whopping 15,000 patients each
month.
10. • 9. Olacabs
• For smoothing the journey of India's growing but scrappy car rental
market. Within a year of its launch, Olacabs has grown to become
India's largest car rental brand. Its success lies in the myriad tech
solutions it uses to navigate the chaos of India's urban commuter
system: Its mobile app lets a user summon a cab with a single click
and allows real-time tracking of the cab as it nears. Meanwhile,
Olacabs' predictive algorithm helps anticipate demand at different
locations and times, monitors traffic and weather conditions, and,
after a customer books, accurately predicts the time of arrival.
Olacabs currently aggregates 7,500 cars in India's four largest cities
and achieves an explosive 25% month-over-month growth rate
11. • 10. Cloudnine
• For delivering world-class services and health care to expectant
mothers. Despite the ongoing efforts of India's government, the
country still lags behind much of the world in infant and maternal
mortality rates. Cloudnine, however, has managed to sustain a 0%
