Participants are encouraged to explore the possibilities of incorporating the digital technologies listed below, or any other digital technology you deem applicable:

IoT (Internet of Things)

IoT refers to a network of connected devices that communicate and share data through the internet. It enables seamless connectivity and control of various devices, making our lives more convenient and efficient.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning)

AI and ML are technologies that enable machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. They involve automating processes, analysing data to gain insights, and making predictions, enhancing efficiency and decision-making.

Cloud or Edge computing

Cloud computing involves accessing and storing data and applications over the internet, providing scalability and flexibility. Edge computing, on the other hand, brings computing power closer to the data source, reducing latency and enabling real-time processing.

Advanced robotics and drone tech

Advanced robotics and drone technology involve the development of intelligent machines that can perform complex tasks autonomously or under human control. They are used in various industries for automation, precision, and efficiency.

Video analytics

Video analytics is the process of extracting insights and meaningful information from video data. It involves analysing and interpreting visual content, enabling applications such as security surveillance, object recognition, and behaviour analysis.

Blockchain

Blockchain is a decentralised and transparent digital ledger that securely records and verifies transactions. It ensures trust, immutability, and transparency, making it valuable for applications such as secure transactions, supply chain management, and decentralised systems.

Metaverse

The metaverse refers to a virtual universe where digital and physical realities merge. It offers immersive and interactive experiences, enabling users to interact with a virtual environment and each other in real-time.

AR/VR (Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality)

AR overlays digital information onto the real world, enhancing our perception and interaction. VR creates entirely immersive virtual environments, transporting users to a simulated reality. Both AR and VR provide unique experiences for entertainment, training, and visualisation.

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 represents the evolution of the internet, characterised by decentralised, user-centric, and privacy-focused technologies. It aims to empower individuals, enable secure transactions, and create a more personalised and immersive online experience.

5G

5G is the next level of wireless technology, delivering faster speeds, lower delays, and more capacity. It enables seamless connections and supports advanced applications like autonomous vehicles and immersive experiences.
