Utopian Techniax (UTX) - Technology, Science, FuturismUTX #026 - Richard Olsen on Lykke, Finance, and SymbiosisAt UTX, we often times talk about technology being at the center of human progress. Which is true. But there is another factor which we shouldn't forget about, namely how the fruits of technological progress are reaped and distributed, which today is not done in an equal manner. Richard Olsen's mission is to work against inequality by providing access to financial markets to everyone. With his background as a PhD of law from the University of Zurich and over 25 years of professional experience as an FX dealer, a researcher, a high-frequency trading specialist and...2021-04-281h 01

This core hypothesis was what led us to create Utopian Techniax (UTX) in the first place. We love technology for what it's able to do for us, if we use it the right way. So we decided to create a "Map of Emerging Technologies" or MET. The map is meant...2021-03-2519 min

Utopian Techniax (UTX) - Technology, Science, FuturismUTX #020 - The Future of Food and Agriculture"You are what you eat" - the old saying is true not just for us as individuals, but also as society as a whole. Because "what you eat" can also refer to how the food we consume has been produced and ultimately landed on our plate. It tells a story about our relationship with nature - our ecological footprint and the resources we consume from farm to fork. New technologies have the potential to challenge and upgrade that relationship. Think automated crops equipped with sensor systems, connectivity and robotic swarms, vertical farming or lab-based meat, to mention just a...2021-03-1844 min

Utopian Techniax (UTX) - Technology, Science, FuturismUTX #019 - Robotics and Robotic Process Automation (RPA)The one tendency which pervades throughout all of human progress, is our ability to achieve increasing levels of automation. We managed to automate power generation, propulsion, mechanical tasks and information processing. However, with the advances in computing and the advent of machine intelligence, the options for automation become limitless. But to each these utopian levels of automation, we also need to make leaps on the hardware side. This is where we enter the world of robotics and look at its exciting newest applications like nanorobots in medicine, swarm robotics in infrastructure and utilities, so-called "software robots" in...2021-03-1541 min

Utopian Techniax (UTX) - Technology, Science, FuturismUTX #016 - Renewables, Clean Energy and the Future of EnergyToday's topic is something that has been fundamental to the entire universe yet it is something which we do not entirely understand yet: Energy! According to Albert Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2, energy and matter are two different states of the same thing. The amount of energy saved in matter should be its mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. So why is it that we still have to think and research intensely to secure our growing future energy supply? Today, more than 80% of the global energy supply comes from fossil fuels like oil...2021-03-0441 min

Utopian Techniax (UTX) - Technology, Science, FuturismUTX #015 - Smart Materials, Programmable Matter and 4D PrintingEngineering is the bottleneck of human progress. If this sounds familiar, it's because we pointed out this fact in our episode on 3D printing. But as promised, we are now adding a whole new dimension to 3D printing to enter the world of smart and programmable materials! Their "smartness" of smart materials derives from their capabilities to sense external conditions (such as heat or moisture), adapt their shape or other characteristics to those and thus effectively deploy a means of information processing. When combined with additive manufacturing, these 4D-printed materials can adjust after...2021-03-0147 min

Both the speed at which it was developed and its role as the last lifeline as proclaimed by politicians and the public, leaves some people skeptical about its safety and efficacy. In today's UTX episode, we bring you the facts and give you a clear picture of the benefits and challenges of the mRNA vaccine in its combat against COVID, but also potential future use cases that could go much further.2021-01-2540 min

Utopian Techniax (UTX) - Technology, Science, FuturismUTX #007 - 3D Printing and Additive ManufacturingEngineering is the bottleneck for human progress. While we can think and invent new knowledge and find better ways to collect, distribute and analyze information, manufacturing is what allows us to increase our standards of living. Challenges regarding scarcity and properties of input materials and design of end products have limited humanity so far in progressing much faster. But 3D printing stands at the dawn of a potential industrial revolution, allowing for rapid prototyping, high customization and removing the barriers between production and consumption. Once the ways we make things change, the things we make changes. 2021-01-1152 min
