Applied AI Weekly News

Justin Grammens

In this issue we cover a number of great articles on security, big data, and a sweet Minneapolis based company with a product launching later this year called Reemo.

Additionally, I came across an article this week that got my passion around IoT ( and technology in general ) reignited. I've actually started talking with a few people on what an innovation lab similar to this or this might look like in the state of Minnesota. It's a long process and I'm currently in the ideation phase of trying to figure out the market and will set it apart from others. If you have a similar passion or resources to help make something like this succeed, please reach out to me at [email protected]. The state of Minnesota needs something like this and I would love any help or collaboration you can provide.

Finally, don't forget to register and attend the IoTFuse Conference on March 19th!
