Inventing Tomorrow^TM

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.

We have arrived at a point where food systems must produce enough healthy and affordable food without degrading the ecosystems on which we depend for life. The difference between a profitable year and a failed harvest is just the timely information on a simple data point of timing of sowing the seed. We must transition through the Digital Agricultural Revolution into what we call “Agri 5.0.”  where AI-powered solutions will not only enable farmers to improve efficiencies but also improve quantity, quality and ensure faster go-to-market for crops.

As companies go global, the geographic spread of projects demands greater visibility, information flow, and collaboration among business units. Adoption of technologies and solutions such as big data and analytics, mobility, IIoT, and digital content management across the value chain will help improve collaboration, effective project execution in a complex environment, and intelligent decision-making.

Technology disrupts and transforms. And disruptive technologies are critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, many of which can be advanced and accelerated through technological innovations.

MEASA is on a continuous quest to understand what true disruption looks like, which technologies are most likely to have a dramatic impact, and the specific opportunities they offer.

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 .

Moving aggressively is not a choice. Well-funded start-ups can afford to pay their employees more and lower their prices, losing money in the short term to win more customers. Start-ups raising $100 million or more used to be a rarity. Not anymore.  Large scale funds are producing a frenzy around tech companies with enough scale and momentum to absorb a large check. This is where we come in.
