When it comes to offering lessons on navigating a fulfilling career in engineering, Mario Gaia has no shortage of rich material to draw on. He’s worked for more than a half century in energy, as an engineer, innovator, entrepreneur and businessman.

Gaia, the founder and honorary chairman of MHI Group company Turboden, started out on the research team of Professor Gianfranco Angelino at Politecnico di Milano, investigating Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) thermodynamics and design. ORC systems generate electric and thermal power from multiple sources, including renewables, traditional fuels and waste heat from industrial processes, waste incinerators, engines or gas turbines, making them an important and versatile technology in decarbonization.

Enthusiastic about the impact the technology could have, Gaia went on to found Turboden in 1980, which became part of MHI Group in

Dr. Silvia Mah, partner at Ad Astra Ventures, helps women founders grow innovative startups tackling big ideas.

When the pandemic turned the business world upside down, some entrepreneurs responded with a determination that carried them through a stressful year. Rather than freeze in panic, they evaluated the situation and decided what to do next.

In these moments, I believe we saw the true essence of the entrepreneur. These business leaders decided to persevere and respond in a socially responsible way that focused on the needs of their communities. They connected with new suppliers, landed new contracts and made new partnerships they wouldn’t have imagined at the beginning of 2020.

As an angel investor and venture capitalist who helps female founders to build and scale their startups, I saw these scenarios happen across the country. Several of these founders received scholarships to participate in an Ad Astra bootcamp, which

Next-generation drones could learn from bumblebees’ amazing flight

[email protected]_84 November 24, 2020

An international study, led by researchers from UNSW Canberra, has discovered the secret of bumblebees’ self-aware dexterous flight—with potential applications for the next generation of drones and autonomous vehicles.

Research lead author, Dr. Sridhar Ravi, studied how bumblebees navigated through a tunnel with a series of gates featuring different-sized holes. The bees were able to successfully fly through the apertures, thanks to a remarkable sense of their own size and a detailed perception of the obstacles’ openings.

Dr. Ravi said that by scanning the aperture, bumblebees were able to skilfully fit through the gates by manipulating

Robots help seniors learn to use technology in South Korea

[email protected]_84 November 9, 2020

SEOUL, Nov. 9 (UPI) — In South Korea, one of the most digitally connected societies in the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of contactless technology in everyday life. But one group is finding itself struggling in a fast-changing world of communications apps, fast food-ordering kiosks and robot waiters: senior citizens.

The Seoul city government is trying to help bridge the digital divide with a new program that uses specially designed robots to teach seniors how to use smartphones and touchscreen kiosks. The program, which will teach 3,000 participants over the next three months at 17 facilities, launched last week.

“Our goal is closing the digital gap between young people and seniors,” said Shin Eun-kyong, business outreach manager of the Seoul Digital Foundation, the city agency that is running the program in conjunction with five local district governments.

Five Things Marketers Can Learn From Biden’s Victory

[email protected]_84 November 7, 2020

Early Saturday morning, November 7, 2020 – “Biden Wins!” After days of agony waiting for final ballots to be counted, the race for the President of the United States is called, by one network, then another, then another, then all of them. Cheering and people rejoicing in New York City could be heard through open windows, as people breathed a sigh of collective relief. The thunderstorm is over; a ray of sunlight broke through. And a rainbow marks the beginning of better days ahead, as we rebuild kindness and decency towards every fellow human.

Tom Denford jokingly suggested in a tweet “Super excited to learn “5 things marketers can take from Biden’s victory” on Monday morning. I could not wait till Monday, so I wrote it today. Indeed marketers could learn some things from Biden’s victory, perhaps 5, perhaps more. Here are the five that come to my mind, having

Donald Trump Lost. To Win In The 2020s, Leaders Must Learn How To Learn

[email protected]_84 November 7, 2020

While recovering from the coronavirus in hospital last month, President Donald Trump made a video. He pronounced: “I learned a lot about Covid. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This isn’t the let’s-read-the-book school.” His point: personal experience of Covid-19 taught him more than reading briefings by America’s finest doctors and epidemiologists.

Now that Joe Biden looks set to replace Trump in the White House, it’s easier to pass judgment on this lack of respect for science, facts and expertise. An absence of curiosity is a disaster. Especially for leaders in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous era. In the 2020s, effective leaders are readers.

What a year! If the insane events of 2020 have caused you to rethink and reassess just about everything about work — maybe even life — you’re not alone. As we reflect on the many changes brought about by this year’s global crisis, communication is surely near the top of the list.

The pandemic has accelerated many businesses’ trudge to remote, virtual and mobile, and in doing so, turbocharged their tech adoption. From virtual meetings, learning and events to paperless bookkeeping and contactless payments, digital tools are experiencing their highest utilization of the modern age.

Communication is the cornerstone of community, and forward-thinking companies are increasingly turning to digital tools to connect, inform and engage. The need for human distancing caused by COVID-19 is matched only by the desire for
