FORTH is rapidly reinforcing its position in the global Research & Innovation scene | The Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH) is the premier multidisciplinary research institution of Greece, with eight diverse Institutes, and presence throughout the country. FORTH conducts frontier, internationally competitive research, and has significant expertise in cutting-edge technologies that are ushering in the new era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. “Nanotechnology, genetic engineering, the internet of things, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing, are some of the areas, where research pursued in FORTH‘s laboratories has generated break-through technological advancements” explain Prof. Nektarios Tavernarakis, the Chairman of FORTH. It is indicative that, to date, 33 FORTH Researchers have been awarded highly competitive European Research Council (ERC) grants, securing more than 40 million for the Institution.

Jon Medved’s Recipe For Israel’s Continued Tech Success | Israel’s thriving high-tech ecosystem needs a recalibration if it is to continue as a global hotspot, OurCrowd CEO Jon Medved said in an article published on LinkedIn. At first glance, things look good given the record $10.5 billion in investment the sector attracted in 2020 and its expected near doubling to $20 billion this year. Those gaudy numbers blur trouble, he cautioned, as early-stage startups are being shunned in favor of those in later stages. Source: CROWDFUND INSIDER.

Will quantum computing become the next space race? | A new report from IBM (“The Quantum Decade: A playbook for achieving awareness, readiness, and advantage”) reveals that quantum computing with 1,000 qubits could be available by 2023, signifying that the global arms race for quantum technologies is more important than ever. Potential power of quantum computing is connected to quantum mechanics, especially the concepts of interference and entanglement. The quantum realm concerns the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. Source: Digital Jounral. Dr. Tim Sandle Will quantum computing become the next space race?
