of digital transformation (DX). Interested participants can register for the
event at this link: https://www.tdk-ventures.com/dx-week.
Each speaker will share her or his dreams, expectations, and challenges
concerning the future of digitization and how it will influence science and
technology, mobility, manufacturing, finance, computing, society,
entertainment, and life as we know it.
"Our Energy Week 2021 delivered on its promise to show everyone the innovations
that could power tomorrow's world and cleanly produce and store its energy,"
said Nicolas Sauvage, President, TDK Ventures. "We hold even higher
expectations for DX Week 2022 and its potential to offer a series of
inspirational, provocative, interactive discussions that will inspire
tomorrow's inventors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and investors to follow their
dreams and capitalize on their knowledge, skill, and insight."
DX Week 2022 days, times, and topics are below. All times are PDT (GMT -08:00).
Monday April 18, 4:00 PM-6:00 PM – Metaverse
Like many of today's technologies, "the metaverse" remains somewhat anchored in
the realm of science fiction. This discussion takes the viewpoint that its
applications are not limited to gaming and entertainment, but include virtual
workspaces, remote collaboration, the gamification of education, and other
applications which are particularly relevant.
Tuesday April 19, 4:00 PM-6:00 PM – Connectivity
Connectivity has become an essential part of our everyday lives. This session
will explore the development path of the tools that will usher in the next
generation of communication and information dissemination, including cellular
5G/6G, Wi-Fi, fiber optics, satellites, wearables, and more, as well as the
broad spectrum of applications these technologies may enable.
Wednesday April 20, 8:00 AM-10:00 AM – Edge Computing
The increase of IoT devices and AI/ML applications is producing a massive
amount of data and requires high computing capacity at the edge. This session
covers both edge devices and network edge. High-power efficiency and low
latency are some of the key considerations.
Thursday April 21, 8:00 AM-10:00 AM – Industry 5.0
The data revolution and acceleration of DX has poised robots, intelligent
machines, and the industrial internet of things to take over much of the
boring, repetitive work required for much of the world's production. The
paradigm shift from a data driven world to the need for sustainability-enabled
technology is already proving that innovative cleantech solutions enable cost
efficient and effective operations. This panel discusses revolutions such as
renewable energy generation, clean tech, data transmission, data acceleration,
realistic simulations, biometrics, and much more, and highlights how and why
sustainability is a core tenet of Industry 5.0.
Friday April 22, 8:00 AM-10:00 AM – Future of Mobility
There are two givens in life: the more people know, the more they need to
explore, and humans will forever need face-to-face contact. Myriad challenges,
however, remain before many of the world's citizens will be ready to accept
EVs, autonomously driven vehicles, and other transportation innovations. Car
sharing, battery swapping, vehicle-to-grid integration, behind-the-grid
storage, clean hydrogen, second-life, and alternative chemistries are on the
table for discussion as well as the potential for personal flying cars,
high-speed rail, and other futuristic transport.
Notable speakers include:
- Metaverse: Rio Kurokawa, Director, IBM; Pearly Chen, VP, HTC VIVE
- Connectivity: Nada Gozlmie, Ph.D., NIST Fellow & Chief of Wireless Networks -
- Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology; Matt Grob, CTO, -
XCOM; Maryam Rofougaran, Founder and CEO, Movandi
- Edge Computing: Chris Bergey, SVP/GM of Infrastructure, Arm; Pete Warden,
-Founding member, TensorFlow
- Industry 5.0: Xiaolin Lu, Fellow and Director of IoT, Texas Instruments;
Yasser Alsaied, VP of IoT, Amazon Web Services
Digital transformation has integrated mobile technologies, miniaturized
embedded sensors and devices, integrated networking, enabled cloud computing,
and delivered sophisticated data analytics. Together, through DX, we can and
are bringing a better, even more sustainable, tomorrow. For information
