🌟 Meet Manfred Aben, Global VP at Unilever and keynote speaker at #PICSummitEurope2024! With expertise in AI and food innovation, he’ll share insights on revolutionizing food systems through tech like photonics and data.

“The next industrial revolution has begun,” says NVIDIA Paraskevas Bakopoulos. Two years ago was AI’s ‘iPhone moment’ – now the tech is expected to reach $3 billion in value by 2026.

Energy efficiency in data centers, sustainable telecoms infrastructure, and green computing were all covered by Sony ’s Faisal Kamran, but he stresses that none of these things can be achieved in a vacuum. #picsummit2024 #photondelta

On photonics development, “No single member state can face the problems alone”, says the European Commission’s Gustav Kalbe.

Dr Taofiq Paraiso of Toshiba Europe opened up the Quantum Integrated Photonics sessions by quoting Alain Aspect, who said “Nobody knows what Einstein would have thought had he known of the violation of Bell’s and Leggett’s inequalities” #picsummit2024 #photondelta

Peter van Arkel of PhotonDelta says, “AI can deliver big things, but it consumes a lot of energy. With integrated photonics, we can reduce energy consumption in data centres by 50%.” #picsummit2024 #photondelta

Mark Thompson of PsiQuantum emphasizes the usefulness of Quantum computing and the benefit of integrated photonics, saying, “Photonics really excels in scalability in comparison with other quantum computing technologies”.

The biggest challenges in food tech innovation are moving to net carbon zero, food waste reduction, finding superior plant based foods, future proofing manufacturing, and identifying win-win diets, explains Unilever’s Manfred Aben.

It’s estimated that 75% of European ammonia (NH3) emissions come from livestock production, but we don’t yet have a truly accurate measure. Gas sensors that use scalable, robust, and accurate photonic chips can change that, says Rick Jongen of Spectrik.

Prof. Sonia Garcia Blanco, University of Twente is demonstrating the evolution of point-of-care systems and how PICs are enabling greater testing capability and miniaturisation #picsummit2024 #photondelta
