Innovation is critical to the future well-being of the society and driving economic growth. MEASA’s Pioneer Tech community is composed of early to growth-stage companies that are involved in the design, development and deployment of new technologies and innovations that are poised to have a significant impact on business and society.
We are shaping the future by advancing technologies such as AI, IoT, IIOT, robotics, blockchain, biotechnology and more. Along with this community under its incubation, MEASA is looking forward to shaping industries from agriculture to healthcare while also working on sustainability issues and much more.
By incubating pioneers who make the unimaginable possible, we are helping to shape an exciting and positive future. A world where limitless connectivity and decentralized data improves lives, redefines business and pioneers a sustainable future. By re-defining trust, we are helping create a hyper-connected world where technology innovation is a positive and exciting force for good.
We seek social, rather than commercial disruption through innovators who work outside the current paradigm – innovations that have the potential to change the relationship between business and consumer, or even the industry and society. This translates to a renewed attention to individual motivation, corporate mission, mechanisms for profit generation that is fair and not exploitative, leading to social and environmental impact.
More than the potential to grow the business, we’re looking for ideas with potential to change the wider system. This is the reason we focus on building the skills our Pioneers will need for the long-game – self-awareness, mission focus, collaborative leadership, action learning – and a strong community of peers who will continue to support each other long after the incubation has finished.
In solving complex real-world problems, from pandemics to climate change, humanity needs powerful intelligent partners, a real-world digital super-intelligence.
MEASA is pursuing trans-disciplinary solutions to today’s mainstream narrow and weak AI of ML and DL and Robotics – solutions that are human-friendly, reliable, robust, and trustworthy super-intelligent partner to human minds. We are in the quest to build platforms that enable Self-Aware Machines, Conscious AI, and Sentient Robotics as complementary intelligent entities to human beings.
There’s a growing push to free the internet, as we know it today, from the control of regulatory authorities and monopolistic tech giants. Many are becoming wary of the corporations that can track or sell their most sensitive private data. These challenges have opened the doors for a new concept—a decentralized version of the Internet, based on open-source blockchain networks.
Several projects are seeking to replace key elements of online infrastructure with distributed, peer-to-peer systems, that do not rely on a single intermediary or point of failure. This would be a fundamentally different kind of internet: one that everybody owns collectively rather than just one and the rest left to become just users.
This new world requires a lot of different technology for backups and storage, for which MEASA is building a variety of related technologies through its Pioneers community: peer-to-peer technology to create the grid in the first place; storage, compute, and network technologies to enable distributed applications; and a self-healing layer bridging people and applications with smart contracts for utilizing the grid and keeping a record of activities; “Farmers” providing capacity and getting micropayments for usage.
This is a big vision, a very big vision.
The development of artificial intelligence has been described as the fourth industrial revolution. By bringing together artificial intelligence and applying machine learning to new domains, we are at the cusp of applying novel deep learning technologies to innovate manufacturing, diagnostics, safety, supply chains, commerce, cybersecurity, and healthcare.
With our Pioneers community and partner network we are gathering together outstanding researchers in AI in a collaborative and constructive spirit to boldly attack challenging problems with high social and economic impact. With advanced analytics that can power better decisions, our goal is to make the world more vibrant and transparent by allowing organizations to discover more clarity and bring deeper insights into their decision making process.
From disruptive threat to enabling partner, fintech has entered a new phase of its evolution. And surely, MEASA is developing a more diverse and knowledgeable fintech space in the region with a pipeline of opportunities for venture capital funds and financial institutions.
We are pursuing a vision to develop a vibrant multi-stakeholder fintech ecosystem, bringing together collaboration from banks & financial institutions, technology partners, fintech companies, academia, investors and both government and corporate partners.
Time-to-market speed is a critical metric that determines whether a start-up has the potential to become a unicorn. Today’s start-ups are growing about twice as fast as those founded a decade ago – one reason helping them being the adoption of technology. Many of today’s unicorns are born digital and started by innovators with the end goal to transform the world. They usually exist on an agile platform, innovate rapidly and are scalable enough for a large, global customer base. This is why we ensure that the start-ups in our incubator are born in the acceleration mode .
Tech always evolves, whether people like it or not. Computer tech changed dramatically in the past decade or so. Simple chatbots evolved into more complex but engaging artificial intelligence driven bots. Devices in silos of individual universe is history as we now rely on connected devices that use the internet of things to work. We’ve also migrated from local storage to cloud drives. It is now time the internet evolved and the best way to keep the future of the internet bright is to make it decentralized. Naturally, this evolution is pointing towards blockchain.
