India’s biggest Tech Fest ‘Tech Invent-2021’ kicks off at Chandigarh University

Published

on

 

Every nation, especially India, needs to adopt a development model that is aimed to achieve socio-economic progress for its citizens and the benefits of development should reach to all the sections of society including the most vulnerable ones. To achieve this, Science and Technology have to play an important role for ensuring economic development as well as national security of our country. This was stated by Dr. Vijay Laxmi Saxena, General President, Indian Science Congress Association during the inaugural ceremony of India’s biggest Tech Invent hosted by Chandigarh University, Gharuan. Eminent personalities including Prof. Chem Eshed, Co-founder, Israel Space Agency; Prof. Anil D. Sahasrabudhe, Chairman All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) New Delhi; Padma Shri Prof. J.S Rajput, Indian representative at UNESCO; Prof. N V Varghese, VC, NIEPA; Prof. Manpreet Singh Manna, former Director AICTE; Prof. Anantha Duraiappah, Director, UNESCO, MGIEP and Prof. Dr. R.S Bawa, Pro-Chancellor Chandigarh University were amongst the other dignitaries who were present during the inauguration ceremony.

More than 50,000 young and budding technocrats from various top ranked Universities and Institutions like IITs, NITs, IIITs and IIMs are taking part in the two-day National Level Tech Fest being organized by Chandigarh University. Tech Invent-2021 has more than 60 competitions covering the field of Engineering, Management, Liberal Arts, Hotel Management, Sciences, Health Sciences, Media, Film Production, Agriculture and Law. While addressing the students, Dr. Laxmi said, “India has always been amongst the leading nations of the world which has contributed in the field of Science and Technology. But in the 21st century, India has emerged as the power house for the world as it has provided the best of young brain to the world in the form of Scientists, Engineers, Researchers who through their knowledge have developed new technologies and tools to help the society.

She further said, “We need to make Indian Science and Technology more vibrant and thus universities and educational institutions need to trigger the thought process of the students. Universities and educational institutions need to go beyond the classroom and textbook learning and expanding the frontiers of knowledge should be top priority of the educational institutions.” There is more need to be laid on the quality of research in our university, which will have a significant impact on society. Various academic institutions and universities should establish partnerships with each other, so that joint research efforts will meet the future prospects and expectations of the country, added Dr. Vijay Laxmi.

While addressing the virtual audience, Prof. Chem Eshed said, “Technology can get us together and advance us all to a better future. You need to have the intelligence where humanity stands in front of technology and take a step forward for a better world.” He further said, “There is a need to motivate students towards innovation and research. Israel has progressing in space technology by building nano-satellites instead of traditional satellite systems. Students at the higher and secondary levels in Israel are being encouraged to build nano-satellites.” India and Israel always persuade other nations not to work against one other and always working for the betterment of the society in the space sector, added Prof. Chem Eshed.

While delivering his keynote address Prof. Anil D. Sahasrabudhe said, “Education for all is the objective of our New Education Policy. The New Education policy in its first paragraph itself talks about exploring full human potential. Every individual has inert talent in them. It is the role of teachers to bring out, explore, identify, nurture, support and make individual students to blossom, that’s what our Indian values and ethos told us and also New Education policy talks about this”.  Highlighting the importance of mother tongue in school and higher education Prof. Sahasrabudhe said, “Early education in mother tongue leads to a stronger foundation. A child is comfortable in its own mother tongue. Therefore, initial education must be given in mother tongue.” However, not alone this, Higher education wherever possible should be given in the mother tongue. Because many students go through education up to 12th standard in their mother tongue and when they come to higher education in various streams, they do not understand what is going on and that is why there is the possibility of mother tongue in higher education, added Sahasrabudhe.

While addressing the virtual audience, Prof. J.S Rajput said, “With the New Education Policy, if we strengthen the foundation of intellectual and moral development of the students in the initial stages of school, then surely its result will be seen automatically in higher education, and it will not be difficult to ensure Indian values and holistic development in education.”  Prof. J.S Rajput further said, “The new education policy will bring a change in the prescribed syllabus, prescribed examination of the old educational system.  If new ideas and imagination of the students are nurtured, then this will encourage creativity and entrepreneurship in between the students.”  We need an education system, which along with knowledge builds a moral and intellectual society. He said that at present people do not want to send their children to government schools, so this is the right time to restore the credibility and acceptability of the government schools, added Prof. J.S Rajput.

Innovation and equality would play a vital role in the future development of higher education. In future, only those institutions would develop which would encourage students towards innovation, said Prof. N.V Varghese. He further said, “Education is the most powerful tool to reduce poverty and inequality. India has made significant progress in the last few decades in the universalization of primary education, access to schools, infrastructure, teacher-student ratio, and improvement in girls’ enrollment.

Education systems need to pay attention to equip learners with emotional intelligence. We are at the stage where we can provide personalized education because we have the technology in our fingertips and we should explore the technology, said Prof. Anantha DuraiappahSocial and emotional training must be mandatory in teacher training. Teachers act as advisors for students’ future careers. To live up to these expectations, the teacher must first be able to regulate her/his emotions, added Prof. Anantha Duraiappah.

New global Address Fabric™ and Property Attributes offerings help customers access unparalleled location-based insights, supercharged by the PreciselyID
BURLINGTON, Mass., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, today announced further expansions in the global coverage and capabilities of its data enrichment and geo addressing portfolio. New additions to the Address Fabric and Property Attributes products underscore the company’s continued commitment to helping customers easily unlock greater location-based context from their data, enabled by its unique and persistent identifier, the PreciselyID.

Virtually every business worldwide captures and stores address information, with the average large business in the United States now estimated to store over 100 million unique addresses. However, navigating the inherent data integrity challenges is notoriously difficult, as it involves new buildings, changing street names, different country formats, and more.
Expanded Address Fabric Reach
Precisely customers can now access the Address Fabric dataset for Great Britain, France, and New Zealand – providing the most current and comprehensive lists of all known physical addresses across these countries. The new datasets expand Precisely’s existing coverage for the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Address Fabric data is easy to use with any database and analytics environment without needing specific geospatial expertise or tools. Customers can analyze address locations for various applications, including identifying new serviceable addresses, discovering new customers through look-a-like analysis, or selecting a site for new stores or network expansion opportunities.
Comprehensive Property Attributes Information
Precisely also announced the expansion of its Property Attributes products for the United States with 26 new attributes now available via integration with Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data. The MLS database of property listings is used by real estate agents to share information about homes currently on the market, including whether a property is affiliated with a Homeowner’s Association or if it’s considered a rental property.
With the latest updates, Property Attributes products now include over 230 different property information attributes across virtually every county located in the United States, providing a highly comprehensive view of a property and its key characteristics, such as details on land use, square footage, construction materials, and year built.
Address Fabric and Property Attributes leverage best-in-class geo addressing solutions from Precisely to provide the most accurate location information possible. Because each record is appended with a unique PreciselyID that remains persistent even when address elements change, customers can unlock greater value by enriching their data with additional information such as points of interest data, risk factors, demographics data, and much more.
“Precisely continues to be at the forefront of data enrichment and geo addressing solutions, enabling customers where they are on their data journey and supporting them with access to consistent location-based insights across their countries of operation,” said Dan Adams, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Data Enrichment at Precisely. “An essential element of data integrity, our unique PreciselyID makes address management and enrichment simple by eliminating time-consuming data preparation and augmenting insights with rich, relevant context.”  
Precisely is renowned for its expertise in helping customers reveal maximum context from their data, with a comprehensive portfolio that includes over 400 datasets containing more than 9000 attributes. The company also recently joined the Overture Maps Foundation, founded by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom, providing guidance on location intelligence and data enrichment to help drive exciting new advancements in geospatial technology.

The data center market in Australia has been witnessing significant growth in investments over the past few years. It is expected to grow at an absolute growth rate of around 20% between 2023-2029. Australia is among the top destinations for data center investments in the APAC region.
Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth are the primary data center hubs hosting most data centers in the country. Canberra, Brisbane, Darwin, and other cities are among the emerging locations in Australia with abundant land availability for data center development.
Investment Opportunities
In November 2023, OVHcloud announced the launch of its upcoming SYD3 Sydney data center facility, which is expected to be operational in 2024.In November of 2023, Rest Super invested about $656 million in a data center in Brisbane, which Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners are developing.In November 2023, NEXTDC announced the development of the D1 data center facility in Darwin; the facility is expected to go operational by Q2 2024.AirTrunk announced the expansion of its SYD2 data center campus in Sydney; once fully built, the facility will account for an additional power capacity of around 30 MW, making it an aggregate capacity of around 120 MW. This second phase is expected to be completed in 2024. AirTrunk’s upcoming SYD3 Sydney facility calls for an aggregate investment of about $670 million.In an August 2023 news article, Macquarie Data Centres revealed its plan to expand its upcoming IC3 Super West facility in Sydney regarding power capacity. As per January 2024 news article, Macquarie Data Centres has received approval to build/grow the IC3 Super West, its third facility in Sydney.In August 2023, STACK Infrastructure announced the MEL01 A data center launch in Melbourne, located at 399 Palmers Road.

Furthermore, the company plans new facilities in Canberra, Hume, and Perth.Rising Procurement of Renewable Energy in Australia Boosting the Market Opportunities
In 2022, according to IRENA, solar energy accounted for around 61% of Australia’s overall renewable energy capacity, followed by wind, hydro, and bioenergy (in decreasing order), from which renewable power is extracted for all the sustainable energy needs of the country. Australia aims to achieve its target of zero carbon emissions by 2050. The country announced plans to reach almost 43% less emission than in 2005.
According to the Australia National Electricity Market (NEM), the renewable energy share in the country is expected to reach around 41% by 2030. By 2025, Australia aims to achieve 100% instantaneous renewable energy for its main grid, starting with a half-hour period and gradually increasing to cover hours and days. This transition will be facilitated by an increase in wind, solar, and energy storage solutions to meet the country’s new target of 82% renewables by 2030. The retirement of coal-based power generation facilities in the coming years will contribute to this goal.

invoca-named-a-leader-in-real-time-revenue-execution-platforms-report

Report recognises Invoca’s innovative platform for delivering “game-changing AI capabilities to revenue teams.”
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Invoca today announced that Forrester Research has named Invoca as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Real-Time Revenue Execution Platforms, Q2 2024 report. Forrester evaluated the most significant revenue execution platform vendors based on three main categories — current offering, strategy, and market presence — along with interviews with customers. Invoca is the top-ranked vendor in both the current offering and strategy categories and among the top-ranked in market presence. Invoca also received the highest possible score in 19 of the 31 evaluation criteria, including AI differentiators, AI: large language model utilisation, Marketing: performance optimisation, In-call guidance: pre-call insights, System configuration: privacy, and Interaction capture: integrations.

The report states, “[Invoca’s] success starts with a vision focused on enabling revenue teams to drive growth by delivering the most complete platform for optimising the entire buying experience. Invoca has a track record of innovation that continues to raise the bar on what is possible to fulfil its vision.”
Revenue Execution Platforms Unify the Buying Journey to Drive Revenue Growth
Invoca’s revenue execution platform enables revenue teams to connect customer buying journey data across the marketing team that engages customers and the sales teams that close the deals.

Invoca also enables sales teams in the contact centre or at distributed business locations to access information from the customer’s digital journey from a centralised source, enabling them to provide the best call experience possible and close more sales opportunities.
Revenue Execution Platforms Needed to Power Today’s Buyer Journey
“B2C revenue teams across marketing and sales are feeling more pressure to directly connect revenue to their investments. But a lack of alignment and poor visibility of the full buying journey makes that nearly impossible,” said Peter Isaacson, Chief Marketing Officer at Invoca. “I believe Invoca was named a revenue execution Leader because we help marketing and sales teams manage the complete buyer journey from the first click to the final sale, so they can drive revenue growth.”
By using Invoca’s comprehensive revenue execution platform, revenue teams can connect their paid media investments directly to revenue, improve digital engagement and deliver the best buyer experiences to drive more sales. The Forrester report states that “reference customers rave about the versatility of the platform and its collaboration with customers around enhancements.”
Windstream, an Invoca customer, embodies this approach to revenue execution by tightly aligning the marketing and sales teams so they can work together to increase revenue.
“‍We’re a better marketing organisation because we have a strong partnership with sales,” said Aaron Pierce, VP of Marketing at Windstream. “Our teams have realised that we make each other better — I think that’s the biggest win. And now, when we have a problem, we can put all the smartest people together in the room to tackle it.”
“The Invoca platform has allowed us to unlock a ‘full-funnel’ view of our marketing performance that incorporates both online and offline,” said Lorenzo Clark, VP of Digital Sales at Windstream. “Now, we can get a read on lead quality because we can see what’s happening on sales calls and also track sales performance on a lead-by-lead basis.”
