Primer evento del año en el Innovahub de Naturgy, donde trataremos la Inteligencia Artificial, uno de los temas más relevantes de hoy en día.

De la mano del ecosistema StartUp de Barcelona Tech City, se explicarán algunos de nuestros principales retos sobre esta temática para poder buscar soluciones para ellos. Entre los retos a destacar se encuentran:
– IA aplicada a mejorar la calidad y confianza de los datos
– IA para la mejora de procesos, nuevos servicios y mejora de la experiencia del cliente

Algunas de las Start ups que participarán son: Big Thing Analytics, Dribia, Payment Innovation Hub, Datancia, Robinbrick y SmartMonkey.io.

Los beneficios principales para los asistentes son capacidades para identificar oportunidades de colaboración entre las startups y Naturgy, ya que el objetivo final es poder probar casos de uso que den respuesta a los retos planteados.

Esta actividad va especialmente dirigida a toda aquella Startup o empresa de Barcelona Tech City que tenga soluciones o servicios relacionados con los retos planteados de Inteligencia Artificial. También a personas de áreas corporativas o de negocio de Naturgy que puedan evaluar la integración de las soluciones de IA presentadas en el evento en los procesos y servicios a cliente de Naturgy.

La industria conectada ha llegado para quedarse y evolucionar los modelos de negocio de las todas las industria y sectores que conocemos.

Description
This is the first meetup of the year!
And, this time we will have the opportunity to listen to Bruno Škvork, technical educator of Web3 Foundation.
Polkadot is an incredibly complex system – more so if you aren’t deeply invested in blockchain altogether. We’ll go through the basic concepts and leave room for plenty of questions and answers, but only after we’ve covered the current problems of blockchains and explained why Polkadot is even necessary.

Come discuss on-chain governance, treasuries, relay chains, and cross-chain messaging and see where it’s all going to converge.

Join us in a new meetup to know more about Polkadot, and of course to mingle with the community and share your thoughts while drinking an Estrella Damm 😀

This meetup is organized by Caelum Labs.

Derma Pitch Competition es una iniciativa impulsada por Novartis Biome, el laboratorio de innovación digital de Novartis, con la que quiere dar respuesta a los principales desafíos de la atención médica de la psoriasis y promover una gestión más rápida y eficiente tanto del diagnóstico como del tratamiento de la enfermedad.

A través del Derma Pitch Competition, Novartis busca compañías tecnológicas líderes y start-ups con las que colaborar en el desarrollo de proyectos que apoyen a los dermatólogos y sus pacientes. El objetivo final es lograr mejores resultados en el tratamiento de la psoriasis mediante el uso y la aplicación de herramientas digitales.

Específicamente, Novartis quiere generar conciencia entre los pacientes sobre la complejidad de la psoriasis resolviendo el siguiente desafío: ¿Cómo podemos mejorar el cuidado dermatológico de los pacientes con psoriasis a través del uso de herramientas digitales?
● Buscamos soluciones escalables y centradas en el paciente sin limitaciones geográficas.
● Soluciones que ayuden a optimizar la atención recibida y permitan tanto a pacientes como dermatólogos obtener información clínica relevante para llevar a cabo un mejor seguimiento la enfermedad. Por ejemplo, una posible solución podría incluir el envío de recordatorios sobre la medicación, información sobre hábitos saludables para la mejora de la salud del paciente o recomendaciones personalizadas en función de los síntomas detectados.
● Se valorará positivamente la integración de la solución en otras aplicaciones ya usadas por los pacientes.
● Se valorará positivamente el uso de inteligencia artificial para el reconocimiento de imágenes y el prediagnóstico de la enfermedad.

El límite para participar es el 23 de enero de 2020.

2017 was, without doubt, the year of the ICOs. Crazy amounts of millions of dollars were raised by hundreds of projects under the promise of use cases using blockchain technology. Amidst exit scams, projects that overpromised and failed ones, the crazy hype quickly faded leaving thousands of people wondering why the invested in some projects in the first instance.

The idea of raising money trough and ICO wasn’t bad, but it needed some rules and sense to be feasible. That’s how security tokens were born.

Security tokens follow regulations, give equity to holders and holds responsible to the people in charge of the project for any wrongdoings committed. A leading company helping companies to issue security tokens is Polymath, and they will be with us explaining the work they do and how security tokens will disrupt investment in the near future

Join us to learn how security tokens will be like in 2020, the evolution of the technology and the regulatory landscape.

AGENDA
19:05 Security Tokens: Technology & Regulatory Evolution
19:30 Fireside chat with Thomas Borrel and Alex Puig about blockchain and security tokens.
20:00 Beers 🙂
