Ayming’s International Innovation Barometer 2022, covered on the old site in October 2021, described an uneven response to the pandemic. Some businesses accelerated new ways of working while others struggled to maintain research and development.
The original coverage reported a survey of 585 senior executives. It highlighted both pressure to innovate and practical barriers: uncertain budgets, a shortage of specialist talent and difficulty judging how quickly competitors were changing.
The discussion centred on the ability to identify opportunities and turn them into funded work. Having a reason to innovate did not automatically provide the people or resources to do it. These findings belong to the survey’s pandemic-era context; they are retained here as historical coverage, rather than a description of business conditions today.
Ayming — International Innovation Barometer ↗In March 2021, researchers at UC San Diego reported a device designed to perform a neural-network activation function directly in hardware. The work explored a way to reduce the circuitry and energy involved in that part of a network.
A February 2021 news item covered work at the Polish Institute of Aviation on an alternative satellite propulsion system. The project was supported through the European Space Agency’s Polish Industry Incentive programme.
The February 2021 archive discussed geospatial intelligence, or GEOINT, through a policy viewpoint reported by C4ISRNET. The topic concerned information about locations and activity on Earth, including imagery and other geographically referenced data.
