When talking about AI, we often focus on US- or Israel-based startups and oversee that China has already becoming a huge player in the market. For our next panel we are proud to be joined by Mei Wang (Senior Manager, dgroup) who acts as our moderator:
Dr. Ye Huang (Head of Solution Architects, Alibaba Cloud DACH & CEE)
Alibaba cloud products are being involved in all kind of different areas: E.g. in e-commerce or health services. The fundamental mission of Alibaba Cloud is to use AI technologies.
Dr. Ye Huang shares an example: Their customer AirAsia was suffering from some really serious attacks to their booking system. The AI technology has helped to keep their system running and more importantly keep their business model running.
Rainer Becker (Senior Director Mobility, Byton)
He formerly was a co-founder of car2go and is now with Byton. The company is building an electric car that wants to transform the automotive into a smart device to simplify the people’s life. „It’s basically a mobile phone on wheels“, Becker explains. The company launches in China and then plans to expand to Europe. „The biggest advantage of China is, that when the government and society really want something, things are getting done very quickly.“
