By Gus Warren, Managing Director of Samsung NEXT Ventures
There’s no debate that technology is rapidly transforming the way we live, work, and move about the world. As the venture capital arm of Samsung Electronics, Samsung NEXT was established for entrepreneurs who embrace, evolve and innovate around the transformation technology enables in every aspect of our lives.
Given all of the transformation of the past 30 years, one might think we are close to reaching a saturation point – or “peak tech.” At Samsung NEXT, we believe just the opposite — that we are on the cusp of a new era of technological transformation, evidenced by every company in the Samsung NEXT portfolio. That’s why we created a video series called “The End of the Beginning.”
Across four critical fields — artificial intelligence, digital health, smart cities, and cybersecurity — the series looks at how technology is fundamentally reshaping our world for the better.
How today’s innovators are shaping the future
Everyday technologies of tomorrow will be defined by today’s breakthroughs, some of which Samsung believes will come from the startups and entrepreneurs featured in the series, who are setting the standard for innovation in their fields.
Intuition Robotics, for example, is working to bring autonomous machines to life. Through the use of AI and robotics, the company is redefining the relationship between humans and machines to create a smarter AI future. The company’s first product, ElliQ, is helping older adults to maintain healthier, more active, and engaged lives.
