This page lists various innovation activities in form of entrepreneurship, mentoring, innovation policy contributions, standards, industry committees, granted patents as well as selected industry projects.

1. Entrepreneurship

• Worldsensing. I have held various executive roles in Worldsensing, a company I cofounded. Since early 2013, I am a non-executive member of the Board of Directors of Worldsensing worldwide, where I reports to investors, shape the company strategy on international expansion and help secure important sales bids. From 2009-2012, I have been the CTO where I impacted the choice and use of wireless technologies for Worldsensing’s product portfolio; and also negotiated major tenders for the company, notably the Moscow smart parking tender. Worldsensing has become one of the world’s leading B2B instrumentation companies, leveraging its knowledge in the Industrial Internet and Machine-to-Machine technologies. It had press coverage by the BBC and the Wall Street Journal. It closed its latest investment round of $5m early 2013. It employes around 50 people worldwide, i.e. in Barcelona and London. It sells successfully into the smart traffic market as part of the Smart City developments (FastPrk, Sensefields, BitCarrier) and the industrial monitoring markets (Loadsensing, Spidernano).
• Moving Beans. One of the most exciting businesses I have started. We pioneered Nespresso-compatible Compostable Coffee Pods – We Have Revamped Our Youtube Channel, with great coffee and affordable to all.
• SiriusInsight.AI. Innovative business which I co-founded and where I acted as CTO. The focus of the company is on situational awareness for the maritime industry.
• 5G-Courses [past]. The CEO, Piotr, has drawn me as narrator and then co-founder into this venture and I remain highly excited about it. In fact, I believe in the platform so much that I contributed with a course of my own, i.e. “IoT in 5G”.
