The GSC joins the blogger community!

It was about time for the GSC to start a blog as well. So here we are, our team just returned from our regional semi-finals in Asia and the US. Here is a quick summary:

North America
Our North American Semi-Final in Washington DC, hosted together with Mississippi State University, featured interactive discussions and fascinating presentations about emerging technologies. The winner of the US-leg, NoblePeak Vision, created a new generation of visible to SWIR video surveillance camera cores and components with breakthrough night vision performance. The 2nd placed winner, Eye Marker, has developed the world's first handheld device capable of looking at markers in the human eye to determine exposure to toxins and nerve agents.

Asia
The Asian-leg of the GSC was hosted together with the National University of Singapore. The event brought together speakers from government, industry, academia and venture capital, who sparked attention-grabbing discussions with the audience. The winner of the Asian Semi-Final is XID Technology from Singapore that invented a face synthesis technology for real-time 3-D prediction in a 2-D video. The judges selected IviZ from India as the 2nd place winner, who created an on-demand penetration testing software based on artificial intelligence.
