#ces2024 ... two deep-tech topics popped out:

1. Next-gen chip designs - a flurry of activity seeking to address the efficiency needs of AI-enabled applications.  Big topic with a geopolitical dimension.

2. Software Defined Vehicles - the transportation industry's late but full embrace of the topic.  A fundamental change is underway, and it's the area where Tesla is actually already miles ahead.

Lots of other interesting topics, such as integrating GPTs/LLMs in anything really.  But making transportation platforms software-defined and turning them virtually into iPhones on wheels goes beyond UX toys, as it is the enabler for much larger new and diversified revenue pools, service-centered business models, protection against technological obsolence, and new ways vehicles are designed.

The non-trivial topic involves high performance compute, multi-domain controllers, software lifecycle management, software / hardware abstraction, cybersecurity, just to mention a few. 

Check out GuardKnox from our portfolio where Moshe Shlisel and his team have been pioneers in this large and transformational space that is now more than ever in the spotlight of the industry.
