Long live the Indies: report from Geneva Watch Days 2024

By francescopagano74

Fifty something independents met in Geneva, between August 29th and September 2nd, 2024, to celebrate and share the love for Swiss-made watches. The founders of the diffused fair stressed their idea at the kick-off press conference. The initial fire burns stronger than ever, after five years from the first edition, so it seems: “This is a fair to share and give visibility to the artisans of watchmaking, inside the city and in sync with it. We even have many other small brands around us, piggybacking on the official buzz, and that’s totally fine. We don’t compete with other fairs and want to be a complement to them. We create a level playing field, where small watchmakers can get a fair share of the pie, in terms of trading opportunities and awareness. We create an infrastructure where everyone is free to be who they are. We have venues and times where we celebrate the ‘why’ of watches,” says one of the founding fathers.

By francescopagano74

Exponential technologies will change our world, for good. This is our opinion, as tech optimists.
Now, it’s always good to have a sanity check, or at least have a listen to the contrarian view. We reached out to Daron Acemoglu, who is an Institute Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a best-selling author, a world-know speaker, and the recipient of several prestigious prizes, among which the John Bates Clark Medal in 2005, given every two years to the best economist in the United States under the age of 40, by the American Economic Association. His resume is impressive, and Acemoglu is today one of the most quoted economists on the planet.
This is the exchange with the Maestro.

The power of Quantum

By francescopagano74

One of the exponential technologies that is not yet getting its fair share of love from the general public and media is Quantum computing. In the past few years, I had the privilege of spending time discussing it with people from CERN and the Fermi Lab, but my conversation with Scott Crowder, Vice President IBM Quantum Adoption and Business Development, had the right mix of theory and real-life examples, which will make anyone understand the potential of this field of research and its business applications. AI will keep its hype for a good while, as we see from its pervasive presence in every corner of the internet. Quantum can be the next big thing. This is our dialogue.
