Meet the Robotics for Good start-ups advancing sustainable development - 1st Session
0Artificial Intelligence (AI) paired with robotic technologies offer cutting-edge solutions to societal challenges in numerous fields; from assistive technologies and health, smart transport, workplace safety, sustainable food production and consumption, green energy, climate change, security, equality, and more. Start-ups with robotic innovations that can help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals are invited to pitch their solution for the new AI for Good competition, Robotics for Good Innovation Factory. \n\nWHAT IS ROBOTICS FOR GOOD INNOVATION FACTORY? \nRobotics for Good as part of the AI for Good Innovation Factory is a series of pitching sessions open to any innovative start-ups developing intelligent autonomous systems to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. Intelligent autonomous systems are developed by integrating AI with robotics. This powerful combination enhances the capabilities of robots by enabling them to analyze, learn and self-improve without having to be programmed in a classical way. \n\n AI for Good Innovation Factory is an UN-led pitching platform to help start-ups grow and scale their innovative AI-powered and SDG-driven solutions, by connecting them to potential business partners, investors, governments, big IT companies and more. \n\n For those who are seeking ground-breaking solutions from start-ups, it is an excellent platform to explore opportunities to meet promising ventures and collaborators. \n\nLearn more about the Robotics for Good Innovation Factory pitching competition throughout 2023-24, leading up to the Grand Finale in May 2024. \n\nJoin the Robotics for Good Innovation Factory event on 27 October, the fourth in a series of global start-up pitching sessions to find the most promising solutions using AI and robotics to solve sustainable development challenges. Watch the top entrepreneur finalists present their innovative AI-powered and SDG-driven robotics solutions to internationally renowned AI and robotics experts. \n\n Speakers:\n\n Moderators:\n\nJoin us for two days of never before presented, state of the art AI solutions and cutting edge knowledge, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.\nRegister and learn more here: https://aiforgood.itu.int/summit23/\n\nJoin the Neural Network!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/AIforGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nWe have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.\nMore than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.\nAI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
