Mapping the #SmartHome market - interesting to see where the #investment is going. Personally I strongly believe, 2019 will be the year, the #smarthome will really kick-off. Any interesting #startup in this field? Let me know! buff.ly/2ASZiNG

Another incredible year for #European #tech! According to @atomico, the dominant areas for capital investment in 2018 were #fintech, #enterprise software, digital #health and #transportation — all on track to exceed $2.5bn in capital invested! Read more: lnkd.in/g3MM58z

The big hope of #telcos ... #5G... going to take a white until this bet might take off. buff.ly/2ASR1co

Fourth Industrial Revolution – is it really here? Developments in #IoT, #AI and #robotics bring exciting use cases for #automation in manufacturing – a $3,7 trillion opportunity for the global economy it is said!

The @netflix phenomenon simply started with one mission: become the new #videoleader and not the new tv. What is the lesson to learn here? If you aim to become the number one, dare and think differently. lnkd.in/db3DSjg

A recent report by @TheEconomist highlights the importance for #CEE countries to focus on #innovation and technological diffusion in order to keep competitive in a global economy. Read more: bit.ly/2S6tpb8

Time spent on #mobile phones increases, so does mobile #advertising spend. Giants like @Google, @facebook and @amazon make billions on ads, using the infrastructure they never contributed to. Telcos, who paid for and built the networks, fight back. lnkd.in/geXHHBx
