#Innovation. One of the most used words around. And we ourselves aren’t strangers to using it either (14 times in this post alone - but who’s counting?). Our labs here at the TUM Think Tank work on human-centered technologies for the public good - but these kind of innovations can only take effect, if they meet “the real world” and are implemented and applied. At the Bayern Innovativ GmbH and Security Network Munich #TechDays2024, our innovation manager, Philip Pfaller joined the panel on Innovation Management to share some of the key ingredients to our own work around innovation (keep on counting). From AI-driven innovation, digital innovation, innovation strategy and effective stakeholder management in innovation processes (we lost count) the discussion covered many perspectives - here’s what Philip shared about his work at the TUM Think Tank:   ✨Our goal is to research and address the societal implications and challenges of emerging technologies. We treat technology questions as democracy questions and engage with industry partners to foster joint discussions and solution-finding processes. The key for us is to involve external stakeholders as members or collaborators within our labs. ✨ Each new lab starts with a stakeholder workshop to co-design goals and work plans. For instance, our Transformation Finance Lab, led by Florian Egli, recently hosted a kickoff involving reinsurance companies and startups to explore financing the green transition. Our Content Moderation Lab, led by Yannis Theocharis, tackles online hate speech and mis-/disinformation in partnership with civil society, the Bavarian Ministry of Justice, and social media companies. As a neutral platform, we can bring together different sectors and collaborate on societal challenges. ✨ With over 52.000 students at TUM, we support programmes like the Young Quantum Social Scientists, or initiatives from our Public Policy Impact Program. Empowering young researchers is one of the most straight forward forms of innovation we support. ✨ Innovation is not only for the private sector. Through public entrepreneurship we aim to address questions of public interest by channeling technological innovation into the public sector. One of the most relevant or at least currently visible innovation topics is AI. With our AI Roadshow for example, we made the first step to bring AI into ministries and administrations. We are proud of the strides we’re making here at the TUM Think Tank as we keep on growing. Thanks to the brilliant moderation by Dr. Bettina Maisch (Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences), and the fellow panelists Tobias Kiesling (Airbus Protect), Florian Hohenauer (Tyto PR), and Christoph Nützel (Futurice) for this inspiring discussion and Peter Moehring (Security Network Munich) for the invitation. 

CES Unveiled in Amsterdam Highlights | Bridging the Innovation Gap 🎉 At this year’s CES Unveiled in Amsterdam, it was inspiring to hear Jean-David Malo, discuss one of the biggest challenges in European tech today: bridging the innovation gap between the EU and the US. Jean-David highlighted how EU innovation can flourish with greater support for high-potential startups through initiatives like the “Lab to Fab” concept, which focuses on turning innovative ideas into scalable production. At Cristallumnis, we share this vision deeply. Our work in AI-driven image and video optimization aligns with the EIC’s mission to boost emerging tech sectors. With advancements in 4K/8K upscaling, real-time noise reduction, and high-definition video processing and compression, Cristallumnis is bringing next-gen digital experiences to life. Thank you, Jean-David Malo, for championing support systems that help tech companies like ours bring innovations to industry scale. Together, we can close the innovation gap and make Europe a global leader in tech advancement! #Cristallumnis #AIFueledInnovation #FutureOfVisuals #CESUnveiled #EUInnovation #EIC #LabtoFab #AI #DigitalTransformation #VideoOptimization #TechLeadership #Amsterdam #4K #8K #PostProduction #FutureReady

What an exciting session at TechBBQ yesterday! I had the privilege of sharing the stage with @Nadia Carlsten, @Erik Balck Sørensen, and our insightful moderator @Emilie Lundblad for a debate on Denmark’s AI Vision. We discussed innovation, the startup ecosystem, and, of course, the impact of the Gefion supercomputer in Denmark.   During the session, we explored various aspects of AI, making it challenging to pinpoint specific key takeaways. Nevertheless, I have distilled three key insights for you: Denmark on the Global Stage: While we may not currently compete in AI, we can establish our presence by focusing on leveraging AI within areas where we excel, such as life science, sustainability, and green energy. Attracting Top Talent: It became evident in our discussion that continuous talent attraction and nurturing are essential for fostering innovation. Denmark offers a wealth of opportunities, including access to data, infrastructure, and an appealing Scandinavian work environment. Collaboration is Essential: Collaboration among government, academia, and industry is crucial for harnessing supercomputing capabilities and driving impactful research and practical applications.   Exciting times lie ahead as we navigate the opportunities AI presents for sustainable growth and impactful solutions! TechBBQ has left us with food for thought and a call to action!

"The future isn’t just arriving—it’s being built, one innovation at a time." Embarking on my MSc in DeepTech Entrepreneurship has opened my eyes to the endless possibilities at the intersection of science, technology, and business. From revolutionary AI applications to transformative healthcare solutions, DeepTech is shaping a world I’m excited to be part of. My focus is on leveraging this journey to bring data-driven healthcare innovations to life. Imagine a world where real-time health monitoring prevents emergencies and empowers lives—this is the vision that drives me. Are you equally passionate about the future of tech? Let’s discuss and innovate together!

🌟 Just attended the Innovation Roundtable and I’m feeling inspired! 🌟 I had the opportunity to join a fantastic group of innovators and thought leaders, discussing key challenges and opportunities in AI adoption, personalized healthcare, and strategic innovation. A special thank you to Vittorio Pennazio for organizing such a well-executed event and for inviting me to ask a question during the session—an experience I truly valued. A key takeaway for me was understanding the profound impact AI tools can have on job satisfaction and motivation, alongside the significant challenges that remain in AI adoption. Despite our progression from symbolic AI—the "grandparent" of the 1970s—to machine learning, the "teenager" phase, and now to generative AI, which represents the pinnacle of human-like intellect and innovation, many organizations still face hurdles. In particular, the dominance of "data gurus" over the democratization of AI remains a challenge to widespread adoption and inclusive use. Kudos to all the speakers and participants for their valuable insights, especially Mario Lois for sharing GE HealthCare’s innovative approach to integrating AI in healthcare solutions and Cristina Gurguta for her work in driving AI literacy at Holcim. I look forward to staying connected and continuing the conversation! #Innovation #AI #Healthcare #StrategicLeadership https://lnkd.in/eeHWeKRK
