It was a pleasure speaking about the mysterium innovation at the DACH Symposium of Intersystems on Monday, November 20, 2013. The event took place at the Melia Hotel in Frankfurt am Main. My presentation was part of an exciting program that discussed the future of AI, the innovative power of Intersystems, and its product solutions. Numerous partner companies reflected on the added value of AI for them and the innovations that can result from it—the day ended with a panel discussion at the Palmenhaus. Opportunities like this are significant for discovering what technology companies are working on, what drives them, and connecting research findings with practice. The reflections on stage and during the breaks are worth their weight in gold and give rise to one or two ideas worth pursuing.
