Beyond consulting, here are some updates from this year and things to look forward to:
Hyper Innovation Tech Exploration LabTM
Innovation. Technology. Talent.
Hyper Innovation Tech Exploration LabTM is an independent innovation lab that de-risks experimentation with emerging technologies and facilitates co-development and collaboration to surface new opportunities and create partnerships with universities, startups, and tech experts.
Companies can join the Lab’s learning network, sponsor projects and reverse pitches, and gain visibility at online and in-person events. Some Lab highlights this year include:
Accelerating Tech Exploration and Innovation
Companies have the opportunity to sponsor projects or bring early-stage ideas in for frameworks that bridge the gap between idea and commercialization. Some examples this year include:
- Holos, a growing virtual reality startup, continues to grow a sustained, engaged tech talent pipeline by sponsoring projects in the Lab that engage students while solving problems for the company. Holos provides their platform and mentorship to student teams to explore new use cases for their tech to define the workplace of the future and other use cases with virtual reality.
- Petra, a UW-Madison student-founded early stage startup with a machine learning and AI solution is gaining access to industry connections, customer validation, and frameworks for bridging the gap between idea and commercialization in the Lab.
Industry Guest Speakers
Providing industry insights to innovators is key to driving innovation in the right way. Hyper Innovation continues to bring in industry guest speakers such as Thomas Yen, UX Lead with BD-Integrated Diagnostic Solutions, and Jonah Turner, Head of Emerging Tech with Molson-Coors, who gain visibility for their innovativeness in the organizations by sharing best practices and perspectives on accelerating innovation through external partnerships, creating a culture of innovation, and corporate innovation challenges.
With a focus on the complexity of healthcare innovation and the need to leverage data and technologies more effectively, Michael Grall, CEO, Talus Solutions, and Jennifer Mueller, VP of Data and Privacy, Wisconsin Hospital Association, have provided insights on ways technology innovators can address healthcare challenges and gained feedback on their challenges.
