We believe that by strengthening entrepreneurial skills and unlocking the power of people’s inner drive, great things can happen! At yesterday’s Engineering Day, Scania proudly presents the Engineering Entrepreneurship Award to celebrate innovation and bold ideas in technology. This year’s award goes to AirForestry and their co-founders Olle Gelin, Caroline Walerud, and Mauritz Andersson for their groundbreaking work in developing harvest drones that revolutionise forestry practices. Motivation: “This year’s winner pioneers a unique technology paired with a strong value proposition and business model, offering significant growth potential while radically enhancing forests' ability to capture carbon.” By recognising innovators like AirForestry, we aim to inspire engineers across industries to explore their entrepreneurial spirit and develop ideas that can shape a sustainable future. Presenting the award is Linda Fragner, Innovation Lead at Scania, who says, “With this award we want to inspire people within engineering in all types of industries to develop their entrepreneurial abilities and dare to push through their ideas.” Engineering Day isn’t just about awards, though – knowledge sharing and inspiration are also important parts of it. Marie Bemler, Technology Strategy at Scania, holds a much-appreciated 'hero talk' called “The Power of Storytelling: How talking about AI is driving the future”, discussing how visions not only shape our future goals but also guide our decisions today. In addition, Elisabeth Hörnfeldt, from Sustainable Transport Solutions at Scania, and Viktoria Kindesjö, Co-founder of Elain - Data driven insights for greener transport, lead the Masterclass “HITS: From idea to realisation with entrepreneurial spirit and AI as enablers”, providing their insights into how to use research, data, and the latest trends to develop future-ready solutions for the transport industry. #EngineeringDay Ingenjörsdagen

🌾 I spent the last two days at the German HQ of John Deere, learning about German agriculture in the age of AI. Here's what I tookaway: The German agricultural sector is at a crossroads: a shrinking workforce, climate change, mounting pressure for more sustainable practices, and hefty new regulatory reporting necessities present significant challenges. 💡 While digital services and AI offer a glimmer of hope—as with many scientific advancements—their integration is hindered by poor communication between developers, researchers, and the customers they aim to serve. We need to build solutions that solve real problems for the farmers! I made the pilgrimage to this famous US company's German HQ, not just to admire the impressive machinery 🚜, but to see the final presentation of the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI project, NaLamKI (nalamki.de). The goal of the project is to build a unified data platform for new digital services such as farm machinery, satellite weather prediction, smart irrigation, and farming drones and autonomous machines. Unified data platforms like NaLamKI hold immense potential to address these challenges by aggregating data from various sources but we need to make sure the services built on top of this data backbone are really useful to the continually under-resourced farmers. 🌱 The integration of digital services and AI in German agriculture is not merely a technological advancement; it's a crucial step towards ensuring the future viability and sustainability of the sector. 🌍 We’re helping NaLamKI make the transition from research project to startup. So, if you want to build the AgTech companies of the future on a robust data backend like Nalamki, come join us! Our Silicon Allee accelerator's 2024 deadline is November 26th! 🚀 Sebastian Bosse Laura-Sophia von Hirschhausen Jan Christian Redlich Peter Pickel Nils Borchard Johannes Bernhardt Johann Meierhöfer Annett Wania Mike Reichardt Heike Gerighausen Ulrich Sucker

RedGridGPT, an InnovateGPT Group company, has been chosen to be one of just four hubs for the AI Adopt Program, funded by Australia's government. They will be focusing on small and medium enterprises in regional and remote areas, with a hub in Gippsland. It's clear that AI will be a key contributor to Australian businesses future productivity gains, but there is a danger that smaller enterprises might be slower to get the support, training and help they needed. Exactly why the AI Adopt Program was built. With this hub's focus in the new energy, agriculture, fisheries, and forestry industries, there's going to be plenty to get done in the next few years!
🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 Yesterday, Federal Minister for Industry and Technology Ed Husic announced that Redgrid is one of the four successful applicants for the government's AI Adopt Program! The AI Adopt initiative provides funding to establish up to five ‘AI Adopt Centres’ across the country, with each providing a ‘front door’ for SME’s to AI education, strategic advice, safety protocols, innovation promotion, and commercial project support. Our successful application, thanks to our strong partnerships with leading institutions in regional Gippsland and from our chosen industries will establish HQ at Federation University’s Morwell Innovation Centre in Gippsland that will deliver these services tailored and delivered specifically for Regional Australian SMEs in the new energy, agriculture, fisheries, and forestry industries and as the government endorsed voice for the AI revolution to and from these industries and regional Australia. Through this announcement, Redgrid will receive $4.2 million in funding to establish, create, and operate the facility from Morwell in our beautiful Gippsland region. Our work in Energy continues however this is a new strategic direction for Redgrid and as we move into contract negotiations and project initiation, we'll keep you updated on our progress. A huge thanks belongs to our team especially Emily Loving who gave up so much time over Christmas and New Year period to help bring this application together. Massive thanks also to Lisa Maatsoo from the Morwell Innovation Centre who also sacrificed a large chunk of the holidays to work on this and sat on countless calls helping us pitch, form, and sell this vision. Lastly, a huge thank you to all the partners and supporters especially from our amazing region but also nationally. Success in this initiative is primarily due to the support you all provided and we are so grateful. We could not be more thrilled with this outcome and that we have the opportunity to establish this important facility that will provide an AI technology voice for regional Australia which is Australia's supply backbone and provides us all with the food, shelter, and comfort we all enjoy. What an exciting journey ahead! 🌟 SkillsGPT Federation University InnovateGPT Group Australia Morwell Innovation Centre

Growing crops takes more than just planting and watering 🌱. A #ColumbiaSC startup is using tech to understand soil quality to help farmers cultivate success. BioSensor Solutions utilizes an organic ink on printed electronics, a sort of "microbe candybar", that when eaten by microbes helps measure their activity in soil. The results can be used to analyze soil quality, something company owner David Z Beitz looks to build into platforms for farmers and researchers to use around the world. #DYK roughly 70% of available fresh water is used for agriculture?!

🇨🇦🌾 Canada boosts agriculture digitalization with new Alberta center. The Government of Alberta has allocated $1.2 million over three years to the University of Calgary's Simpson Centre for the Alberta Digitalization Agricultural Program (Simpson Centre). This grant aims to spur innovation in the province's agriculture sector by supporting research into the challenges and opportunities associated with digitalization in agriculture. Agriculture Minister RJ Sigurdson highlighted the importance of technologies like robotics and data analytics in advancing Alberta's agriculture industry. The Simpson Centre will research and provide recommendations on how these technologies can be utilized by Alberta's producers to enhance efficiency and sustainability, ensuring the province remains a leader in agricultural innovation. The Simpson Centre, an academic policy institute, focuses on supporting Canadian agri-food and agriculture. University of Calgary President Dr. Ed McCauley expressed enthusiasm for supporting Alberta's agriculture sector, emphasizing the university's expertise in machine learning, robotics, and smart devices. He believes that connecting this expertise with agricultural industries will benefit all stakeholders.
