B2W/LASA - Brazil's major retailer (e-commerce, brick&mortars, and marketplace) seeks 3-4 startups to present at its two-day marketplace conference in Sao Paulo -- July 4-5th.
P&G is open to investigating composable architecture if there is no solution to address this opportunity in its entity. P&G is not looking for Designs only (without the ability to implement).
Defond is looking for new solutions that can help them to optimize power-consumption in manufacturing for environmental protection objective.
New technology, like AI and robotics, additive manufacturing, digitalization, and quantum computing, is changing business structures and platforms. On a products and marketing front, we see a need for greater experimentation using new technology to better engage customers. From the management and HR front, we see new technology and labor concerns challenging the future of work.
Panel discussion
What are the latest advances in energy innovation?
· The here and now: Where are we today? What new tech tools and approaches are available? What are the most successful energy startups from MIT doing at the moment and why?
· What’s on the near horizon? What new applications are opening up? What are the investment opportunities? What is the smart money focused on? What are corporate priorities in seeking novel energy tech? What does the new energy innovation ecosystem look like (infrastructure, interoperability, technology, use cases, stakeholders, success stories)?
· The future: What advances will we see over the next few years? What's in it for consumers? What are you personally the most excited about?
Panelists:

How can P&G enable consumers to do radically more with radically less water and energy use? How can we make invisible use of water & energy visible, right at the point of use? How might we particularly address the triangle of tension that exists between improving sanitization, reducing water & energy, whilst keeping the feeling of abundance of using water?. From incremental evolution to product innovation, easy-retrofit water-infrastructure changes (taps, faucets, showerheads, etc.) and water appliances that aim at both reducing (hot) water and re-using/purifying/enriching (hot) water, we want to partner!
