InnovAcción

Termina el III Foro InnovAcción en Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Han sido 2 días muy intensos en los que he tenido el honor de dar la charla inaugural y de participar en el jurado que ha seleccionada al ganador de TFInverte. El Ganador ha sido el equipo Dpcat con su innovador producto Kuipro. Y el premio... pues ser uno de los 12 dreamers de Imagine Silicon Valley 2012 :).

Desde aquí mando un fuerte abrazo a Coqui García y a Madelon Van Oostrom por el excelente trato y un fuerte abrazo a todos los emprendedores canarios con los que he tenido el placer de conversar estos días.


 

 

Gràcies Pep!

Li he demanat al company Josep Segarra que fes aquest muntatge amb una proposta de mosaic pel proper partit al Camp. El Pep es mereix aquest mosaic i molt més, infinitament més. No hi ha prous paraules ni accions que es puguin fer per poder agrair tot el que ha fet el Pep i sobretot per agrair totes lliçons que ens ha donat com a persona. Ara és un moment molt dur, però segurament això ens servirà per apreciar molt més tot el que tenim i hem tingut, segur que no serà lo últim que aprendrem del Pep.

Gràcies Pep!

Alison Lewis

Last week we met with our techno-stylist and designer friend, Alison Lewis. Alison is able to surprise us every time we see her. It is was great to be able to catch up with her and take a peek at all her new work.

Alison is a great source of inspiration for us. Her work is beautiful and her energy contagious. Spend one minute with her and you will realize how passionate she is about everything she does. Not only are her designs beautiful, they are also smart, containing top technology and the latest smart textiles. 

If you are interested in technology and fashion you can’t miss checking out her webpage: http://blog.alisonlewis.com/ 

Alison presented her latest project at the SXSW 2012: Presence of Heart. Presence of Heart is a dress that uses your heartbeat to light up. An amazing connection between fashion and emotion.

If you are a crafty person and love doing your own projects, take a look at her book: Switch Craft. In this book you can find 20 modern DIY projects that join both fashion and technology. 

We are sure Alison will keep amazing us with wonderful projects in the future and we wish her the best of luck. Innovalley will be following closely all her steps!

One Day Without Shoes.

The day we spread awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child’s life by taking off our own. Why? Millions of children live without proper footwear, exposing them to injury and disease every day.

On my One Day Without Shoes I'm running the city. What are you doing? Take your shoes off! :)




  

Self-Driving Car Test

Google has driven over 200,000 miles with their driverless cars. Here a nice test with Steve Mahan, a legally blind person. As you "see", the future is exciting! in other words: El futuro ya no es lo que era :)

  

Intimacy 2.0

This fashion project by Studio Roosegaarde lead by Daan Roosegaarde, uses leather and smart e-foils to create dresses that respond to social interactions and become more or less transparent. ‘Intimacy 2.0′ was designed to explore the relationship between intimacy and technology. When a person gets close to others, hugs or dances with them, the e-foils in the dress are activated and the level of transparency alters, “creating a sensual play of disclosure.”
