Analytics is great -- but you should also distill that into "what should I do" -- you need to apply the insights you've learnt from the data / analytics. I wonder whether he really applied these to all the penalties.

The data-driven cheat sheet for Pickford, the English goalkeeper, which told him which side each Swiss player usually shoots for during penalties, and what he should do, is already history for the data community. I think we’ll be seeing it everywhere in countless presentations on the power of data for years to come 😂 BTW at Graphext, we create cheat sheets like this for account managers to predict customer churn months ahead. We use a mix of CRM data, usage data, firmographics/demographics, support data, and more to provide actionable steps with explainable predictive models 😜 If you’re interested in this, send me a message!

Here are some innovations that seemed like a 'good idea' at the time... Which one is your favorite? 👇 #HistoricalInnovation #RetroIdeas #TechCuriosities 1️⃣ **'Car Catcher' to prevent accidents (1939-1942)**: Had to be manually activated, so its effectiveness depended on both the device and the driver's reflexes. 2️⃣ **Thief-Catching Net (1969-1974)**: You had to suspect someone, have some skill, and hope they weren't in a group. 3️⃣ **Anti-Theft Suitcase (1961-1963)**: Featured long spikes that made it impossible to run away with, and would not pass any modern security checks. 4️⃣ **Easy-Parking (1927-1928)**: Although it may seem incredible, this innovation was discarded by all brands except Ford, which held onto the patent for a few years without commercializing it. 5️⃣ **Glasses with Windshield Wipers (1951-1952)**: Developed for World War II but later attempted to be commercialized unsuccessfully. 6️⃣ **Gyro-Boat (1954-1955)**: Might sound fun but was very difficult to control and resulted in some fatal accidents. It was never commercially produced. 7️⃣ **Caravan-Yacht (1968-1970)**: The most famous of this type of vehicle is the amphibious GMC Terra Bus used in Banff National Park.

"Estrategia de Inteligencia Artificial 2024", very interesting report published now in May 2024 by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Business of the Gobierno de España. 👇 This report outlines Spain's strategic approach to #AI framed around three key elements to bolster national capabilities in response to the growing demand for #AI products and services. The first element emphasizes enhancing the country's ability to accommodate the escalating demand. It identifies critical areas for capability enhancement: #supercomputing, #cloud infrastructure, foundational #datasets and models for #AI development, and skilled #talent. These sectors are deemed essential for maximizing benefits in productivity, #innovation, and #economic growth, highlighting the opportunity for well-designed public policies to increase the likelihood of successfully leveraging #AI expansion. The second element focuses on promoting #AI adoption, particularly within the public sector and among small and medium-sized enterprises (#SMEs), as these entities require the most support for #transformation. The public sector is also envisioned as a catalyst and role model for #AI integration in the private sector, enhancing service delivery to citizens and fostering private sector advancements. The final element addresses the need for broad consensus on #AI usage, encompassing debates over #autonomy, #transparency, and #reliability in #AI #technologies. According to the report, this involves establishing clear and socially agreed-upon guidelines for decision-making processes and interactions between #humans and #AI systems.

The much awaited yearly Spain Ecosystem Report by Dealroom.co Kfund Wayra SpainCap Endeavor Spain GoHub Ventures BBVA Spark Enisa con el emprendimiento innovador There are many insights to discuss about, the most interesting for me are the following: 1. The value of Spanish tech is growing faster than other key ecosystems like France or Germany. We are catching up! 2. There is more than just Madrid and Barcelona as tech hubs. Valencia, Bilbao or Málaga are thriving. 3. If we take out the "lunacy" years of 2021-2022, the investment deployed in Spain follows a positive trend, with +2B invested in 2023. 4. There is still a lot to do, to ensure more female-led projects are funded, only 12% of VC investment since 2019 was made into their startups. 5. The future looks promising, Spain is where France was 5 years ago. If we do things right with support from all stakeholders we can create incredible value in terms of jobs and local wealth. 6. More and more collaboration with international funds is happening, as our local VC firms mature and achieve more relevant size and reach.

Large hyperscalers are increasingly considering Spain and the growth in transactions (potentially) seems higher than in other markets that appear saturated, both in terms of pricing of land as well as for availability of power, and specifically sourced from renewable facilities. In the meantime the most liquid subsector are small edge facilities up to 20MW. Let’s embrace the opportunity and avoid destruction of this sector. My largest fear is social impact so we must promote awareness across the board, SOON. On the other hand, government regulations will promote fast-track paperwork and green facilities. Let’s see what it comes up to.

On Monday, March 4th 2024, Pere Aragonés y Garcia, President of the Generalitat de Catalunya announced the creation of the Fons D´Inversió en Tecnología Avançada (FITA). These are excellent news for the Catalan innovation system, and a pivotal project several years in the making. FITA is a deep tech investment fund backed by public and private capital to energize and propel the Catalan innovation system. The fund is aimed at supporting technological innovation with origin in public Universities and Research Centers. FITA is endowed with 55 million euro, to be executed between 2024 and 2029, with 30 million contributed by the Generalitat de Catalunya, 15 million euro by the European Investment Bank, and 10 million by private investors. The fund will accompany innovation projects aimed at the foundation and growth of spinoff companies based on technology patented and licensed by a research center or university. FITA is a venture-builder fund and will not only provide significant financial support to spinoffs before and after funding, but also provide training to scientists-entrepreneurs, market analysis, matching with a mentor and IP advising. Very importantly, FITA will be the lead investor in the spinoffs funded, solving the traditional problem of the first investor, and committing to recruit additional investment across Europe. The fund will be managed by Grow Venture Partners. Francisco Badia Ortega is the Managing Partner. FITA represents the financial instrument that innovation managers and scientist entrepreneurs have been asking for, and its implementation, a watershed moment for the Catalan innovation system. #deeptech #innovation #startups #scienceequity #catalunya #spain #europe
