2015 : les erreurs à éviter. Je n’ai pas la moindre idée de ce qui vous surprendra en 2015.
Mais voici 5 erreurs que j’aimerais vous aider à éviter. Elles concernent les phablettes, Silicon Valley, la Chine, la transformation digitale et la montée des barbares. Penser que les phablettes (iPhone 6 Plus d’Apple ou du Note 4 de Samsung) sont trop grandes pour la poche (ou le sac, ou les petites mains). Vous verrez si vous faites attention dans les lieux publics, qu’un grand nombre de jeunes filles soucieuses d’avoir un temps d’avance les adoptent. Idem pour les touristes asiatiques qui les ont adoptées depuis longtemps.Le gadget lui-même compte peu, mais son usage indique, matérialise, rend possible le passage au mobile first (annoncé depuis un certain temps déjà).Avoir les yeux fixés sur Silicon Valley.
Bonne année à lui, à vous, à nous. Crédit photo : Sally Mahoney / Flickr / CC. America's Brightest Running To China, Where The High Tech Resear. With 80% Jump in Venture Funding Since 2009, China Emerges as Early-Stage Investor, Not Just Manufacturer, of Cleantech. By Stephen Lacey on July 20, 2011 at 4:15 pm "With 80% Jump in Venture Funding Since 2009, China Emerges as Early-Stage Investor, Not Just Manufacturer, of Cleantech" The U.S. is extraordinarily good at nurturing entrepreneurship and invention, but not as good at building industries around those inventions.
Case in point: While America leads in venture capital investments in clean energy, it has ceded leadership in manufacturing and deployment to European and Asian countries. Given the powerful impact globalization has had on moving manufacturing of consumer electronics, steel and automobiles out of the U.S., the dominance of Asian countries in clean-energy manufacturing isn’t a big surprise. But now, according to new figures from Lux Research, America is starting to see competition from China with its core strengths in venture investments and entrepreneurship. “Foreign investors look for breakout technological innovations. “It is not so easy to get funding anymore in the U.S.,” he said. Let’s Compete on Innovation Rather Than Patents. The next generations of telecom technologies are called “LTE” or “4G”.
China’s Huawei believes that by 2015, it will hold 15–20% of the worldwide patents in these technologies, and that these will earn it at least 1.5% of the sales price of every device—every cell phone, laptop, and tablet—that uses them. Huawei is on track to achieve its goals: in 2007, it held just 152 patents; by the end of 2009, it had applied for 42,543 patents, of which 11,339 had been granted in China, 215 in the United States, and 1282 in Europe. Huawei’s rival, ZTE, claims to hold 7% of the world’s LTE patents and plans to increase this to 10% by 2012. Emboldened by these successes, the Chinese government has initiated a nationwide program to make China the world leader in patents in every important industry.
The New York Times reported that the government is offering cash bonuses, better housing, and tax breaks to individuals and companies filing the most patent applications. The Times quotes David J.
