Major Tech Trends for 2023
Further consolidation. Security vendors adding more and more functionality under one product roof aiming to be end-to-end cybersecurity providers. This includes not only new security verticals – for example, network security in addition to endpoint security, or cloud security but also such areas/markets like data protection, user behavior analytics, IoT-related security, and so on.
Security shifting to the cloud. There will be more and more cloud-based security along with the security of the various clouds. On-premise security products will not go away but such solutions losing market share rapidly and will only make sense in some specific enterprises and governmental/military space later.
Cybersecurity more and more will rely on Machine Learning, Artificial intelligence, and big data analytics. AI is already used in security but in rather narrow tasks like anomaly detection and this will be expanding.
More and more vendors will develop and push whole security platforms that form security ecosystems of partners and customers like Acronis already did. The platform will allow to the addition of necessary security fictionality in place, make specific tasks easier to perform due to automation, and quickly react to new emerging threats by minimizing feature delivery or functionality integration time from vendors to partners and customers.
Authentication and Identity Access Management (IAM) products have to evolve as currently these systems are under heavy attack and will be attacked more frequently. Many attackers have already started to steal or bypass Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) tokens. Recent attacks against Okta and Twilio showed that such external services are getting breached. 2FA or MFA products or functionality should be ready for these attacks and configured properly with a minimum required access rights given to all the company employees.
AI/ML, IoT, and Computing In 2023
AI and IoT are the future. They are already used extensively but will take a key role in a lot of security aspects later. Currently, AI/ML is used for big data analysis, detection, and recognition of anomalies among this data, including searching complex patterns within it, and predicting future outcomes based on the data. Acronis is using AI/ML to analyze the integrity of stack traces in Windows executables, for detecting malware based on behavior, to spot malicious documents and scripts, illicit data changes, hardware failure prediction, successful recovery automatic detection, and so on. We plan to constantly improve all these existing functionalities, as well as add new ones for example an AI-based detection of malicious URLs (technology already developed actually), and others. However, it is also very important to develop and train AI/ML models properly, as they are under attack by cybercriminals who also use AI extensively in their malicious activities. Attackers will try to use weaknesses in the models, implant bias on purpose into data sets, or simply use the triggers to flood IT operations with alerts. This needs to be prevented and dealt with.
Will The Power Supply Industry Adopt The Cradle-To-Cradle Business Model?
Year 2022 and 2023
In 2022, we saw a huge jump in growth & revenues for Acronis in India. We are growing at 100%+ YoY and will target similar growth rates in 2023 as well. Our multilayered and integrated approach to Cyber protection and Security has created a unique positioning stance for us and customers are finding this of great value in hardening the overall security structure of their organizations.

COVID has (re)confirmed that health is top priority and that remote access is important. Healthcare and life sciences are a few sectors that INT. focuses on, and here we continue to see growth in areas including telemedicine, personalized medicine, genomics, and wearables. We help our clients leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, Extended Reality (XR), and the Internet of Things (IoT) to develop and deliver new treatments and services. Forbes mentions that during the first months of the pandemic, the percentage of healthcare consultations that were carried out remotely shot up from 0.1% to 43.5%. This has been made possible by faster communication techniques, the cloud, and analytics.
Enhancing the impact by making computing available throughout the physical environment, while making this computing effectively invisible to the user, has immense potential. The goal is to create contextual awareness. This allows intelligent entities to determine and act in a decentralised manner. The new computing devices are mobile, and the jobs they are programmed to execute vary by the geographical location and neighbourhood of the devices. Ubiquitous computing can occur anywhere (at work, at home, across cities or even across countries), at any time (24/7), by anyone (adults or children, including those who are specially-abled), and with anything (home appliances, cars, machines). INT. advises its clients to focus on the results and let the specialists make it happen by leveraging this technology, as it will include a combination of devices (sensors, display, storage etc.), communication links, and interfacing technology (navigation, voice/video interfacing, etc.)
No tech strategy is complete these days unless we discuss data-related technologies such as analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and so on. These technologies are driving an era of automation leading to increased productivity. They also usher in speed and help optimize internal business operations. AI/ML can handle and analyze enormous data in an unbiased manner. In the HUMAN framework that we referred to earlier, an example of AI / ML usage for healthier lives is in NLP applications that can understand and classify clinical documentation. If we talk about Ubiquitous Computing, AI/ML helps to provide directions while we drive, answers our questions, offers music recommendations, and powers a growing number of business processes in the workplace. With reference to More, but Together, AI/ML has become part of every tech ecosystem to improve both effectiveness and efficiency. If we consider alternative technologies, ML and AI represent a significant opportunity for energy companies to implement more efficient processes for greater returns. AI and ML also contribute to Neo…Always due to its predictive nature to provide recommendations to organizations regarding the next stages of evolution of the tech strategy based on sufficient data from current systems. INT.'s offerings around AI and ML help clients stay ahead of the curve and let our clients be more nimble, responsive, and ready for changes.

Lt. Gen. AK Bhatt (Retd), Director General, Indian Space Association (ISpA)
"The growth achieved by India's private space industry is the result of the landmark decision taken by our Hon'ble PM Narendra Modi in 2020 to open our space industry to private sector. As we look back at the year 2022, the industry witnessed some major milestones in the growth journey of the private sector with NSIL authorizing the space conglomerate formed by Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and HAL a Rs 860-crore contract for the commercial development of next 5 Polar Satellite Launch Vehicles (PSLVs) and the pact of OneWeb with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) to launch LEO satellites from India and signing the first license contract with DoT for satellite broadband followed by the successful launch of 36 LEO satellites from Sriharikota. The launch of 1st Private Launch Vehicle from Skyroot in this year has made significant strides in the growth of the private space industry and also rising Indian space startups like Pixxel launched its third hyperspectral satellite 'Anand' for Earth observation applications following the launch of 'Shakuntala' earlier this year, Dhruva Space successfully validated its Satellite Orbital Deployer during the PSLV C53 mission and subsequently launched 2 nanosatellites for amateur communications in PSLV C54 using P-dot satellite platform, Digantara built the world's first commercial space weather sensor, Agnikul Cosmos under the aegis of IN-SPACe established India's first private space vehicle launchpad at Sriharikota. These strides by the startups and young entrepreneurs will encourage technology development in space for defence applications through 75 Defence Space Challenges aka Mission DefSpace launched by Hon'ble PM during DefEXPO 2022. The formation of IN-SPACe to handhold and promote the private sector culminated in the breakthrough signing of MoUs between ISRO/IN-SPACe and ISpA Startup members (Agnikul, Astrome, Bellatrix, Dhruva, Digantra, TSC Technologies and Skyroot). We also applaud the initiatives by the government authorities to bring together the industry stakeholders for their suggestions on the new Space Policy, spectrum allocation and licensing framework for establishing satellite earth station gateway and DoTs landmark move on abolishing the NOCC charges which signifies government's continued commitment in supporting the growth of digital communication therefore giving a much-needed push to the spread of satellite communication in the country. For furthering support to the growing space industry and to reduce the 'Digital Divide' the government may consider the administrative allocation of spectrum. The sustainable growth of satellite communications in India depends on the harmonization of 28 GHz frequency according to the global standards set by ITU, as the retention of 28 GHz frequency within space sector will support and help connecting the unconnected and provide impetus to local manufacturing & innovation.
The number of space startups in India has already crossed over 100+ and these startups have raised funding of more than $245.35 million. In forthcoming year of India's G20 leadership, we expect the new 'Indian Space Policy' to be announced, this will enable India to likely achieve the capabilities much early, as compared to other developed countries like US. The new 'Indian Space Policy' followed by the Space Activity Bill will be a complete gamechanger which will cover upstream and downstream activities and will help formulate vision to bolster investment climate in the private space sector. Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for satellite manufacturing just like the mobile handsets and telecom equipment will further boost the private space ecosystem and help encourage new startups to come up. With the first private launch taking place in India recently, we envision more independent launch solutions of Indian private companies for satellites and other spacecrafts in the coming year. The Indian space industry is at a growing stage and access to cost effective capital for startups will further give impetus to the rapid growth. With the private companies shaping up and increasing productions, there is also a need for holistic skills development which is competency of systems engineering, training on how to operate satellites skillfully, and technology associated with special alloy for launch vehicles."

It is estimated that by 2030, nearly 50 billion devices will have internet connectivity but with covid-19 pandemic boosting businesses digital transformation journey, this goal might be closer than anticipated.
Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, started gaining popularity a decade ago. It has still not slowed down and continues to be one of the leading technologies in 2022. AI is constantly evolving, and newer applications for this technology continue to spring upon the scene. Today's most popular AI applications are image and speech recognition, navigation programs, voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, and even in 2023, AI/ML, IoT will continue to emerge and spread it's applicability in almost all sectors.
Organisations are looking to use AI to analyse customer and business interactions to derive insights and identify triggers. It will help them predict the demand for services such as hospitals or tourism and aid in the improvement of resource allocation for various projects.
Machine Learning (ML) is a part of AI and uses supervised learning to learn new functions. It has seen a massive surge in demand for skilled professionals, making it an attractive trend to watch. According to Forrester, AI and Machine Learning will be responsible for 9% of all new jobs in the US by 2025.
All industries and businesses have seen shifts exacerbated by major challenges, such as the pandemic and the climate crisis. Here are the top business trends in 2022.
2020 and 2021 saw organizations across all sectors adjusting to rapid transformation, and 2022 was undoubtedly the same.
The future will continue to become increasingly technology-reliant, and this will have significant implications for businesses all over the globe.
The importance of social media in business marketing, the influence of the metaverse, and the blockchain will likely continue to increase in the years to come.
It's undeniable: The future will continue to become increasingly technology-reliant, and this will have significant implications for businesses all over the globe.
Artificial intelligence is here to stay
In 2022, we can see the application of artificial intelligence nearly everywhere.
As we go deeper into a digitally altered society, AI will continue to be a massive transformation driver for global industries and businesses.
Research shows that the global AI market can reach up to a $190 billion market valuation in 2025. Additionally, in 2022, companies were expected to run on average around 35 AI projects in their operations.
The metaverse will begin to take hold
The metaverse is a new virtual world (mainly accessed with a VR headset), and it will provide access to all kinds of entertainment and projects, including the opportunity to work.
As the metaverse ecosystem grows in 2022, expect it to have a direct impact on the future of many technology sectors, and business in general.
Enterprises and businesses can expect the metaverse to shape their operations in three ways:
Building new modes of customer and business relations
Ushering in new currencies and transaction types, such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs
Streamlining remote employee communications
The blockchain will become more widely utilized for business
The blockchain enables companies to track a transaction and do business with unverified parties, even without the assistance of financial institutions
According to the International Data Corporation, companies spent almost $6.6 billion on blockchain solutions in 2021. This is a 50% increase from the previous year, and is expected to grow beyond $15 billion in 2024.
With the new rise of NFTs and the metaverse, the blockchain will become a more important component of business in 2023.
Businesses might want to start studying blockchain technology, not only because it's safer, but also because it is expected to generate significant business opportunities.
Internet security and privacy will become more important
As the world becomes more digitized, there's been an increased number of personal and organizational cyberattacks around the world.
Several corporations have been the target of major cyberattacks in recent days, and businesses have become more vulnerable to destructive attacks (in part due to the uptick in remote work).
Applying AI will make robust cybersecurity protocols easier and less expensive, and can enable cybersecurity to spot risks, which will only become more essential in the years to come.
Social media's influence in business will rise
The importance of social media in business marketing and e-commerce plans will likely continue to increase in the years to come.
Finaria reported that spending on social media ads hit $105 billion in 2021 – a 15% increase since 2020. Over the last three years, spending on social media ads has jumped nearly 70%.
The power of social media for business is no joke: In 2020, TikTok took in around $1 billion in revenue; most of this came from selling ads on the platform.
Entrepreneurship is on the rise
Millions of people were laid-off or let go from their jobs during the pandemic, and the data shows that many of them became entrepreneurs.
In 2020, there were 4.5 million new business applications – up 24% from 2019.
In one survey, data showed that 62% of Gen Zers and 50% of millennials are planning to start a business.
Alex Marchesini, Chief Digital Strategy Officer, Planet Smart City
We will see an increase in investment and spending in certain areas of SaaS that have been lagging behind others in recent years, such as InsureTech and PropTech (including IoT), together with a continuation in macrotrends such as Quantum Computing, digital proof of ownership (i.e.: NFTs) and Machine Learning (ML).
More and more we will want to leverage new capabilities in ML, Augmented Reality (AR) and IoT in the PropTech space for solutions supporting the Sales and Management of Real Estate Asset as well as experimenting with other new trends such as NFTs.
For the Tech and Digital side of our business, the year 2022 was a year of opportunities: we discovered several new segments, and we were able to build strong services and solutions that allowed us and our customers to monetize those opportunities. In 2023 we will want to reinforce that activity, and become a one-stop-shop of PropTech solutions for all the Real Estate Developers and Asset Managers that understand the importance of the current digital transformation in RE.
Raman Bhatia, Founder & Managing Director, Servotech Power Systems Ltd.
A few recent technologies that have increased EV adoption worldwide are quick charging within a few minutes and smart charging. In the year 2023, there will be numerous product launches in the Indian EV market, and with that it will be necessary to find numerous new answers to some of the persistent problems that this segment faces. Many EV manufacturers introduced low-cost technologies in 2022; the following years will see an increase in investment in these technologies. In my view these two trends are going to stand out among all:
Smart Charging: Smart chargers can connect with the vehicle and the grid, in contrast to conventional charges, to offer better costs for energy consumption. It also encourages more efficient energy use. Because drivers don't always require a full battery, several electric vehicles have been developed to take a lengthy time to fully charge. Depending on the energy requirements of the vehicles, charges can be planned to go up to only 80% once a week, extending the battery's lifespan. People can choose to charge a battery with renewable energy, reduce CO2 emissions, and lower energy prices with the help of smart charging solutions.
Charging Infrastructure: A better, more comprehensive charging infrastructure will also be necessary as there are more EVs on the road to enable ease of charging . The number of public charging stations needs to be increased so that people can quickly become used to the practice of charging their vehicles. It is necessary to prepare the common charging infrastructure in public areas to handle this traffic. Adopting contemporary technologies can encourage more people to buy electric vehicles. Most electric vehicle charging stations nowadays can accommodate fast and ultra-fast chargers, which are widely accessible on the market. By coordinating the payment methods used in charging stations, it also enhances the experience of charging away from home.
One of the largest technological trends is AI. IoT and AI contribute to the creation of several tech-based tools for pattern recognition due to the continually expanding technologies. However, a lot of EV businesses and producers are still looking for efficient AI applications. Although applying AI can benefit any business, the truth is very few players have had a substantial influence on their bottom line. But all that is set to change. Internet of Things (IoT) integrations into services will increase in the EV segment and throughout many industries in the upcoming years, not just in the luxury market. In addition to suggesting charging cycles as additional areas to look forward to, AI and IoT can assist in understanding and monitoring a rider's regular travel. In order to provide a seamless charging experience, EV drivers are pressing EV charge point operators and e-mobility service providers to manage charger availability and stability better. Up to 80% of the operational problems caused by software-related problems that prevent drivers from using EV chargers can be resolved by self-healing algorithms included into an EV charging management platform. The charging experience for EV owners is optimised through real-time issue discovery and automated self-repair.
In recent years, the electric car market in India has grown significantly. According to data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), EV sales increased by 155% YoY between FY20 and FY22, reaching 4,29,217 units. This upward trend in the figures doesn't appear to be slowing down, despite the recent decline in EV sales, a global pandemic, and concerns about a downturn. Servotech's growth too was at par with the industry as we bagged key projects with leading oil and gas corporations to help build EV charging capabilities across different fuel stations, enabling a more connected EV charging infrastructure in the country.
From a business perspective, our focus is going to be on optimising battery technology and performance, while zeroing in on reducing range anxiety among potential EV drivers via our marketing efforts. The demand for electric vehicles will grow as battery technology advances. Production must keep up with demand in order for manufacturers of electric vehicles to continue making advancements. Electric vehicle production must become speedier, more effective, and capable of producing more automobile models. By utilising economies of scale, more effective mass production will also aid in lowering prices. In the upcoming years, EV companies should concentrate on enhancing OEM scale-up to enhance EV manufacturing that would support more widespread adoption at significantly lower prices, enabling them to compete on price with ICEVs. This, obviously, will be achieved as EV manufacturers and charging tech developers synergise, unlocking more lucrative business whitespaces to capture for all.
Nitin Singhal, Managing Director, Sinch India
There will be the rollout of 5G in the country and its wider adoption by end of 2023. There will be a much larger increase in the use cases and interactions will be more intertwined into the daily lives of people. Whether it is related to buying, selling, or transacting with banks, insurance companies, financial services, retail, or online commerce – any exchange of information will be available and made available faster on 5G. As of now, there are 800 million smartphone users in the country, and about 10% are already 5G-enabled. By the end of next year, there is a good possibility that we will see about 80% of smartphones being 5G enabled. For CPaaS providers like Sinch, this would mean an increase in the consumer base and a greater opportunity to connect people with businesses.
There will be more power in customers' hands. Enterprises will find more ways to connect with them, conditioning newer ways of life. Digital engagement will become all the more important.
With newer technologies comes along the discussion around vulnerabilities. So yes, 2023 will also see conversations around security and authentication. We see a lot of investments coming in these areas. Every second after a breach can cost a business very dearly hence, it is a critical discussion.
Technology again is an aspect we cannot sideline. The year ahead will see progress in matters of reliability, security, and sustainability of technology. The latter is a crucial discussion and will become more mainstream in 2023. Consumers will soon be demanding those products or services that they use or invest in, be energy efficient.
One doesn't have to be a futurist to say that in times to come, AI will be everywhere. With more customer-business conversations happening, AI and how businesses improve predictability and understand the context of customer conversations will be significant.
Convenience is key and customers are looking for instant gratification, meaning more customers are demanding, "I want this and want it now." Thanks to an omnichannel approach, a lot of brands are putting together a perfect way to reach out to customers and with time, this will improve. Gartner predicts that conversational AI will reduce contact center agent labor costs by $80 billion in 2026.
At Sinch, we launched AskFrank, an AI-enabled intelligent question-answering search engine that does not work with keywords like other search engines but instead searches content based on the subject and the meaning. This means that even if the user does not know the right keywords to enter, they can still find out what they are looking for. The intent behind this launch is to keep bettering customer experience and every industry will need to work towards delivering the best CX. At Sinch, we are enabling this for our customers.
Brands will also find it useful to leverage customer data. Knowing what customers want and delivering on it will be the key differentiator. That's what it is going to take to stay relevant and competitive in 2023.
Our business grew faster than the predicted growth for the industry at 30% in India. Riding on the back of over 600 billion messages worldwide, we are looking forward to a very promising year ahead. As CPaaS providers, there is a huge opportunity awaiting us over the next few years.
Given the capabilities we are adding – bringing in the expertise of global and the scale of local, we are in a unique position. Sinch India is equipped with a complete communication stack for enterprises – highly scalable and fast SMS services, email services supported by our flagship marketing automation solution, the ability to engage customers through our conversational messaging solutions across all channels, and finally a, centralized communication, and governance platform. Recently, we launched Mailhub- a powerful email API with excellent deliverability that helps enterprises reach their customers in the most contextual manner through inbox placement of their communications. Truly enterprise-grade. Very few players in the market have this capability and can say this today. We have already built that reputation and our teams continue to be innovation-led.
Harikrishna Prabhu, COO, TechnoBind
2023 is at the stage of starting more in-depth technological developments in various verticals. And this is why all of us need to understand which technology tools will continue their path and which will begin anew.
5G: There may be a few regions that have already been in the 5G space, but from India's perspective, 5G entering the market is the biggest advancement one can think of. This is because the technology has the capacity to single-handedly transform India's business and enterprise vertical. SMEs and SMBs will be able to plan their growth based on their capacity to utilize the technology.
Artificial Intelligence: I believe that artificial intelligence is still in its novice stage and has a higher potential that can be reached, but it is left to the organizations and experts in the field to unravel that potential. With 5G entering the market, AI will get the much-needed boost to finally take over the multitude of verticals and solutions that the current tech market is offering. AI will become as necessary as a cybersecurity profile or the internet connection to help organizations grow at an unprecedented rate and stay ahead of the competition.
NFTs and Blockchain: Despite many challenges being posed against NFTs and Blockchain, the trend is not dying down. With many governments, organizations and the public embracing blockchain technology for various purposes, this trend is here to stay and grow. Increased knowledge sharing will help more people understand and accept the technology and utilize it for bettering their product lines and solutions.
Cybersecurity, network security, cloud services and data management are some of the verticals that will be aided by AI/ML, IoT and other computing tools. These tools and verticals have always been a focus at TechnoBind. While data is proving to be the hero, the villains here are mainly attacking through the virtual arena. With the number of endpoints increasing and various work models existing (remote, hybrid, gig employees, etc) the chances of security breaches occurring through internal channels are also high. Being a vendor, we aim to introduce and educate our customers as much as possible on the much-needed cybersecurity solutions and products. Keeping these aspects in mind, we definitely vouch that AI/ML, IoT and computing technologies will play a bigger part in strengthening the current cybersecurity tools. The rate of data generation and security threats cannot be managed by any number of staff members. To combat this problem, companies need the help of technology and these emerging technologies are the right answers.
2022 has been a year of reckoning for us at TechnoBind. Coming out of the pandemic, we are seeing a big endorsement of our core philosophy and what we have been advocating all the while with the partners. It is very clear now – as long as your conversation with the customer is not about the customer's problem and how you can solve it for yourself, one is not in the game.
In fact, all our partner enablements have been on these lines. We believe in educating the partner sales reps in terms of the current business challenges for the customer and how a particular technology can solve that problem of his. This is seeing a lot of traction with the partners as seen in the significant wins we have had across all technologies.
Also from the market perspective, we in India are well poised to see a big uptake in customers' investments in their Digitisation projects and this augurs well for our partners and eventually us for business.
So, 2023 will be a great opportunity for all!!
Sougandh K.M, Country Manager of India, Universal Robots
Artificial Intelligence: Artificial intelligence has been available on the market for a few years and has become a part of our daily lives, from voice search to web navigation, ordering groceries, and so on. Unlike traditional AI, adaptive AI systems can rewrite their own code to adjust to changes in the real world. Adaptive AI systems strive to constantly retrain models or use other mechanisms to adapt and learn within runtime and development settings, making them more adaptable and resilient to change. However, adaptive systems will eventually enable new methods of doing business, opening doors to new business models, goods, services, and channels.
Intelligent Robotics: Robots can use real-time information and optimise jobs due to the incorporation of AI into robotics. Startups integrate machine learning, dynamics modelling, reinforcement learning, computer vision, and more. Large datasets and real-time data are also used to train the robots to become more accurate and effective. They are therefore better able to sense their surroundings and distinguish objects more quickly, allowing them to independently navigate. Robots powered by AI are being used in manufacturing to automate repetitive operations, including 3D printing, picking and arranging parts, and quality checking.
Industry 5.0: Industry 5.0 is the most recent industrial revolution, focusing on human-machine collaboration as opposed to Industry 4.0, which focuses on mechanical automation. Human and societal value will be prioritised in Industry 5.0. This revolution gives an industry vision that goes beyond efficiency and productivity and emphasises the industry's position and commitment to society.
Sustainability: Consumer preferences have changed over time, and so have investor preferences. After profit and revenue, investors place sustainability as one of their top goals. To accomplish sustainability targets, leaders must invest more in new solutions that solve environmental, social, and governance demands. Organisations require a sustainable-technology framework that improves the energy and material efficiency of IT services while also enabling organisational sustainability through traceability, analytics, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence.
An ecosystem of technology: End users and customers are demanding an extensive ecosystem where a wide range of components and technology is available. For instance, a superapp is an ecosystem of micro apps with different activation choices for consumers to choose from in order to provide consistent and individualised app experiences. Super app combines several application services such as messaging, payment, e-commerce, and so on. By picking and installing their preferred mini apps, Superapp users can create customised user experiences (UXs) (focused on performing a single task). Chatbots, Internet of Things (IoT) technology, and immersive experiences. In the case of Universal Robots, the company has an ecosystem of independent businesses growing around the cobot technology, creating a fertile ground for innovation.
Internet of robotic Things: Robotics focuses on production, interaction, and autonomous behaviour, whereas the Internet of Things (IoT) enables sensing, monitoring, and tracking. The performance of connected robots is driven by edge computing platforms, which enable feedback-driven workflows by collecting and sending data there. Robots manufacturers can now relocate computing closer to the data source thanks to recent advancements in edge IoT. This makes it possible for robotic systems to use data that is nearly real-time and maximise task efficiency. Additionally, machine-to-machine and machine-to-humans communication between machines and people promote more effective human-robot collaboration.
Universal robots had a strong year in terms of business in 2022. One of the biggest achievements is that UR is one of the largest cobot producers in Odense, Denmark, which is a robotics powerhouse. The organisation has reached a new milestone by onboarding 1000 employees and opening 100 certified training centres in 23 countries.
UR has also added a new product, the UR20 cobot, the next generation of industrial robots. Recently, the UR20 cobot made its debut for the first time in Asia Pacific at the Collaborate APAC 2022 held in Bangkok. The UR20 cobot is just the beginning for Universal Robots.
UR has an extensive ecosystem of independent businesses, we are a company built on collaboration. Along with over 1,100 of UR partners globally, Universal Robots is set to achieve greater heights in the coming year. We are working closely with our partners to initiate activities in India. In fact, UR will be displaying the latest cobots and innovations at the International Machine Tool and Manufacturing Technology Exhibition (IMTEX) in Bengaluru on 19 – 25 January 2023. In the year 2023, we will be building a stronger presence in India, connecting with key industry leaders at events and conferences.
Nikhil Rathi, Founder & CEO, Web Werks
According to reports, end-users will spend up to 88% of their time this year on mobile platforms utilising their favored apps. The more time individuals spend digitally, the more the servers and low-latency connection options telcos will require. Hyperscale data centers would provide the scale and connectivity required to keep up with rising usage.
Services will be distributed, deployed, and run across multiple resources in 2023 and beyond, including public clouds, private clouds, networks, and devices, all continuing to work around each other and provide a single service or set of services
To get the best of both public and private clouds, more businesses are turning to hybrid cloud deployments. The private cloud offers superior control and security, whereas the public cloud offers massive computing power. According to reports, 84% of mid-to-large businesses will have adopted a multi-cloud strategy by 2023, making it one of the year's defining trends in cloud computing.
AI will be distributed and move toward the edge: Since AI algorithms and training work best with large datasets and auto-scaling compute clusters, public clouds have traditionally been a popular place to deploy AI. However, there is a growing need to deploy AI in a distributed and edge manner for a growing number of use cases. In these cases, additional stringent requirements in relation to latency, performance, privacy, and security make it necessary that some AI data and processing, both for inference and training, be near users and sources of data creation and consumption. AI deployments at the edge for both AI training and inference will accelerate, as well as an increase in as-a-service capabilities for infrastructure automation and orchestration of hybrid multi-cloud AI environments.
As today's networks get more complex and even more distributed, the demand for Data Centers is starting to go through a dramatic shift. Availability remains the top priority, especially in Edge infrastructures, but the need to bring in low latency at all ends of the spectrum is rising manifold.
To ensure application performance and reliability alongside a connectivity model to access public and private services, Web Werks has outlined a blueprint of the most connected DCs in India and abroad through IMDC. It offers connectivity to all large carriers, ISPs, Internet Exchanges, and Cloud providers. Our Data Centers are operational in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Pune, with more coming up in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai. Plus, our JV with IMDC expands our reach to a global landscape with Data Centers across APAC, UK, Europe, and the US.
Web Werks – IMDC offers a robust Cloud-ready platform named 'Web Werks VMX'. It is an enterprise-class Cloud ecosystem that has been designed to withstand the most demanding workloads, requiring a secure and compliant operational framework with in-built benefits for network and storage. We offer the choice of network partners that offer a great throughput and low latency, backed by a superior system performance that instantly delivers data to business applications.
Web Werks' focus will be placed on further developing its three existing markets in India immediately along with an expansion into Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai. Besides this, Web Werks also plans to set up edge facilities in Tier 2 cities. With all the upcoming projects, Web Werks plans to deliver advanced data security and cloud solutions to its customers.
In 2021, Web Werks partnered with Iron Mountain Data Centers which has a presence globally including The United States, Europe, and Singapore. In March 2021, the company announced an investment of 400 crores to set up its first standalone purpose-built greenfield data center with a 10MW capacity in Navi Mumbai.

Technology and its right implementation is going to remain the most important focus not only 2023, but for the next 20 years. As industry adapts technology, it will also refine itself to provide curated solutions to businesses and enterprises. Riding on technology, sustainability and environment is going to become the centre of attention.
A few major technology innovations will be pertinent to the areas of:
Cybersecurity: As we invent technology and get connected to the metaverse, security of data, transactions, information will become a major challenge.
Artificial Intelligence: Without artificial help, it is impossible to crunch the huge repository of data that every smart system is generating. The software will see lots of innovation to become smarter than the inputs.
Customisation: Every platform will see their offerings and solutions being customised for the clients depending on different areas of operations, sizes and focus.
Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, Internet of Things and Remote Computing are few of the essentials for monitoring and inference of the data that are being generated by the smart appliances. The entire emphasis of the system is to have a seamless and efficient productivity line with least impact on environment or generating minimum carbon footprint. In this effort the entire system is unified and cannot operate stand-alone.
As instrumentation major, our focus will not only be providing smart instruments for every industry that we cater to, but WIKA is an integral component of our customers' business processes. Therefore, we look on ourselves not as a supplier of measurement technology components, but rather as a competent enterprise partner, offering comprehensive solutions in close co-operation with its customers. Individually fitted and accurately aligned to need of each customer and business processes.
WIKA's measurement technology and product offerings are aligned not only to the new age technologies but to the smart instrumentation required by industries at every stage. Hence we even offer process consultancy, so as to offer the clients the best possible solution for automation and enhancing processes.
Year 2022 saw businesses adapting change and a lot of niches appearing. Many businesses also disappeared for good. It was a tech shake-up for the entire gamut of industry and services and the most agile has sustained. The same will follow through in 2023 as economy continue to resurge back.
WIKA has adopted the use of IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) for supply chain traceability and efficiency. Blockchain enables the supply chain optimisation without missing the links at each point making it easier to negotiate with third parties and integrate financial and logistics services.
Technology led supply chain management not only ensures seamless efficiency, but also enables green footprint, making it a sustainable business case.
At WIKA, we will continue to focus on 3C's—Customer, Customisation & Conservation. We believe that WIKA can support customers in best instrumentation not only selling the goods, but also helping them chose the right solution. Customisation of products according to the industry and need is going to become an important differentiator in business. Likewise, Conservation of business through predictive maintenance leading to efficient production management will lead to Sustainable processes with least impact on environment. WIKA takes pride in becoming Responsible Business Partner.
Balajee Sowrirajan, MD & Corporate VP, Samsung Semiconductor India Research
The semiconductor industry is constantly evolving, and transforming everything around it. As we usher in a new year, we will witness an increased market demand for higher-performing chip innovation.
Industrial Revolution 4.0 will further integrate technology at all levels in our lives, making hyper connectivity, hyper intelligence, and hyper data~ a reality. This implies a higher degree of co-creation between the hardware and the software to build disruptions like re-creating human senses to develop intelligent data connection, building ultra-reliable 5G communications, or paving the way for new-age storage solutions.
As we advance to build a product that is not just futuristic but reliable, it is important to leverage our learnings into effective measures to build a future business roadmap.
Lastly, with 'People' at the heart of all the breakthrough innovations, we foresee the next chapter of semiconductor growth to have an increased emphasis on advanced skilling, job creation, and sustainability at the core."
Anmol Singh Jaggi, CEO and Co-founder of BluSmart
EV Charging: If the lack of EV charging stations was the reason for lower EV adoption in India, 2023 is going to take everyone by surprise. We expect to see a spike in EV adoption this year with the rise in charging infra. Supportive policies, investments in development of products and technology will also drive up adoption of electric mobility. BluSmart has setup a robust and large EV charging network, which we will open to the world and emerge as a leading EV Charging Infra player in the market covering major metros of the country.
EV RideHailing: Mobility aka ride-hailing demand has fully swung back in 2022 and the growth in 2023 is going to take this ecosystem by surprise. While reliability and customer experience will be the driving force for the functional need called mobility, electric will emerge as the theme where the citizens of the cities we live in will look to do the good deed of their day by taking a cleaner mode of transport, thus making our cities more liveable. Having covered 130+ million kms on EVs and being the reliable mode of mobility in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru, BluSmart has received so much customer love this year and will be focusing on expanding our footprint to other major metros as well while stressing on the need for equitable and inclusive opportunity for both men and women driver partners alike in 2023.
EV investments: The Indian EV market, valued at $3.21 billion in 2022, is expected to grow to $113.99 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate of 66.52%, according to a Fortune Business Insights report. The sky-high fuel prices and rising environmental & climate concerns are focusing minds on EV startups like never before. 2023 looks like a year investors get real about funding sustainable Green/clean tech. This will scale investments in the EV ecosystem in India which will aggressively multifold EV adoption and EV startups' growth and BluSmart expects to be the poster child of this green investments ecosystem.
Himesh Joshi, Co-founder and CEO, Ayu Health Hospitals
The last two years have highlighted the gaps in our country's healthcare infrastructure at various levels. Access to quality healthcare, pricing transparency and patient experience were major challenges the healthcare sector was facing. Most other sectors like travel, hospitality etc have overcome similar challenges by leveraging technology.
In 2022, we are glad that we could make a difference to this with our asset-light and tech-enabled platform by networking with small and medium-sized hospitals, standardising health care delivery, pricing, and enhancing the overall patient experience. Our focus on better patient experience has helped us achieve a Google rating of 4.7 across hospitals which is the best in the industry and we've also consistently scored an industry-leading 80%+ NPS. Apart from this, we could also create new job roles while most companies had to lay-off their employees this year.
We foresee asset light model further democratising the healthcare access for a larger section of economic population, in the coming years. This can also help encourage the private health system to meaningfully contribute to public health. Along with that, digitization, technology and a clear focus on patient experience can make quality healthcare easily accessible in India.

Master in Biomedical Engineering
A few words about our master's program
A specialized master's program like Biomedical Engineering has no bachelor course of studies as a precursor. Admission is granted to applicants coming from various fields of study. Students will apply their previously acquired knowledge and abilities to fully integrate the highly interdisciplinary subject matter.
While working on their master's theses, students have the choice to either participate in the development of medical devices, or to collaborate in a basic research project. The pursuit of a Ph.D. degree, e.g. in the context of a graduate program at the University of Bern, is possible in both cases. Graduates of the master's program can, therefore, choose freely whether they want to pursue a career in the medical engineering industry or the scientific community.
Career prospects in both industrial and academic environments are excellent. All participating institutions are highly networked with the medical engineering profession and the University Hospital Bern (Inselspital).
The Study Program
You will find detailed information on the contents and organization of our study program in the section "Curriculum". In addition, the assignment of our courses to the modules can be found here:

Note: tuition fees do not include costs for accomodation or meals. It is the students' responsibility to find suitable housing.
