HOW TO CONNECT TO CLOUD SERVICES AT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

Till Eisenberg, CIMON Project Manager at Airbus Defense

Edge devices can be found in many places. One of them is orbiting around the center of earth with a speed of 27,600km/h. Here, one day lasts 90 minutes.
The speaker will talk about CIMON, the Crew Interactive MObile companioN. CIMON is the first robotic and autonomous crew-mate on board the International Space Station with a link to cloud services on earth to support the ISS crew with artificial intelligence based assistance.
The key note will focus on the challenges of bringing something like CIMON into space and how such a frontend is connected to earth and why and for what reason CIMON has been created.

Digital Diaspora: Exploring New Markets

Go to any big city in the world and you’ll find an Irish pub. A sense of place can be replicated infinitely across the globe, while taking on bits of DNA from its new home. Revolutions in computing bring this to the digital world, too, as we all upend how we live our daily lives—and where we live them. The concept of a digital diaspora is worth unpacking: how can existing technology companies foster innovation in meaningfully connecting people—and even providing a sense of home?

Advanced AI and High Performance Computing

High performance computing (HPC) just doesn’t have a cool enough name! Orders of magnitude more powerful than classical computing, HPC is leveraged when you need to process more data—faster and smarter—than typical computation, network, and storage limitations will allow. HPC itself is changing along with its use cases as technological advances and human imagination fuel each other. HPC has not only gotten less expensive, but also easier to use—this democratizes the supercomputer, putting its power in the hands of not just institutions and Fortune 500 companies, but anyone who wants it. This expert panel will explore the possibilities that HPC has now unlocked. The time has come to get serious about the next leap forward for intelligent machines—so let’s take that step together.

How a company culture accomplished genuine change, to fight against climate change.

Glenn Johansson, CEO at GleSYS

Sustainability is one of the world’s most important goals, but not all businesses accomplish a genuine change that creates a positive impact on our environment and still makes money. If you are sincere about making a difference you need to be stubborn, not stare blankly at the money – because CO2 is the new currency – and have a long-term view in a short-term world. You also need to have everyone on board; every employee, investor, and everyone on the board of directors.

Come and listen to how we made that “change”, gained new customers and what our next phase is to become even more environmentally friendly.
