« Il n’y a pas plus intelligent que l’être humain. » Cette phrase est-elle toujours valable à l’heure de l’information numérique, de l’automatisation et du big data ? Une chose est sûre : Les entreprises actuelles ne peuvent plus se fier à l’instinct de leurs managers et prendre des décisions sur la base d’informations et de processus désordonnés. Elles doivent s’adapter et devenir intelligentes pour rester performantes.

Mais comment devenir une entreprise intelligente ? Nous avons invité deux entreprises fribourgeoises actives dans la gestion de projet, Fair-IT Sàrl et Projets21 Sàrl, pour approfondir ce thème et développer les opportunités liées à la BI. Tout au long de la soirée, vous allez découvrir des pratiques et outils professionnels pour faciliter la gestion dans la prise de décision renforçant ainsi l’automatisation et l’innovation des processus.                                                                                          

Alors, êtes-vous prêt à changer vos habitudes pour augmenter vos performances ?

Un apéritif suivra la conférence

Cet événement sera en français

In March 2020, a European REXUS rocket will carry an experiment into space that was designed and built by a small group of students from the HES-SO.

Our special guest speaker, European Space Agency’s engineer Koen DeBeule, will talk about his engineering work at ESA as a «last-resort problem solver» and how he came to do what he does today.

His talk will be preceded by short presentations from the current and previous REXUS teams:  The HADES team — the current HES-SO team — will present its innovative space capsule and their journey-to-launch campaign, and the ARES II team — the experiment flown last year — will show their scientific results and talk about their launch campaign.

An exhibition of all of the previously-flown and ready-to-be-flown hardware will be held in the foyer.

Speaker :

Koen De Beule is a Belgian electronic design engineer at ESA and is often confronted with solving last-minute problems.

The conference will be followed by an aperitif.
Doors open @5:30 PM
Conference starts 6:30 PM

An astronaut will be landing in Fribourg - with Jeffrey A. Hoffman

In 2020, NASA, the US space agency, will start preparations for sending humans to Mars ! To demonstrate the challenges of working in the void of space and present new perspectives on problem solving, we invited former NASA astronaut Prof. Jeffrey A. Hoffman for an unforgettable evening.

After receiving a PhD from Harvard University, he enrolled in NASA’s Shuttle program in 1979 and has since flown five Space Shuttle missions including the first repair mission to the Hubble telescope. He has also worked on many satellite assembly missions and has helped design elements of the International Space Station (ISS).

Prof. Hoffman’s talk will be preceded by an introduction from a student team from the HEIA-FR & HEPIA taking part in REXUS, a European program for university students to carry out scientific experiments on rockets and balloons.

In the foyer, the Regional Development Association of Lake Murten (SEM) will introduce you to the beginnings of Swiss aviation.

The conference will be followed by an aperitif.

All ticket proceeds will be donated to a non-profit organization in Fribourg.

This event is in collaboration with the US Embassy in Bern

The blockchain technology has given rise to a whole new generation of internet known as the internet of value. Just as money has driven businesses up until today, new forms of value will emerge and take shape thanks to the digital currency movement. To profit on a whole new level our interconnected word, our definitions of value will significantly be altered. If you have always been curious about the promises of blockchain technology and if you want to learn how to provide new forms of values, join us at our next event, where Rik Willard, founder of Agentic Group, will give us his insights on the topic! Rik Willard argues that blockchain will have a positive impact through the democratization of financial opportunity.

Our speaker
Rik Willard, Founder and Managing Director of Agentic Group, a New York based federation of over fifty blockchain companies that promotes the blockchain ecosystem through education, consulting and deployment within the private and public sectors.

To ensure a bright future for the next generations, every citizen on this planet has a responsibility to bring a positive change in terms of sustainability. Food waste is one concern that we should pay attention to, especially when “one-third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year — approximately 1.3 billion tonnes — gets lost or wasted” (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2019). How can we bring an innovative solution to improve this situation? Would it be possible to have a world without food wasting? What are the food waste projects currently running in Switzerland? On this important topic, we have the opportunity to invite three Swiss leaders in the food waste economy and discuss their business concept as well as their vision regarding food waste.

-          Food waste pope, founder and chef of the no food waste restaurant and food delivery “Mein Küchenchef”

-          Winner of the Gastrobär Innovation Award

-          Co-founder of the “FOODOO” Product line found in stores all around Switzerland

The fourth industry revolution implies the digitalization of many aspects of life, making available huge data sets that are too large and too complex to be dealt by human intelligence. Machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, is the science of getting computers to learn and act like humans do by feeding them with big data. The machines learn in an autonomous way and improve themselves over time. Machine learning is successfully applied in everyday life, from Amazon to Netflix passing by Spotify, Google and many more. In this event, real-life cases will be used to introduce you to Machine Learning.

 This event is open to everyone. No prior knowledge of statistics, computer science or Machine Learning is necessary. 

A networking aperitif will follow this event. 

Our speakers:

Prof. Dr. Martin Huber

Martin is Professor at the University of Fribourg and holder of the Chair of Applied Econometrics. He will briefly introduce Machine Learning in a non-technical way, discuss perils and promises of Machine Learning and demonstrate an application in which he used Machine Learning to solve a relevant real-world problem, namely the detection of cartels in Switzerland.

Michele Alberti, Ph.D. Candidate 

Michele is a researcher at the University of Fribourg and member of the Document Image Voice Analysis Group. He will briefly introduce Deep Learning, a subset of Machine Learning. Primarily, he will present how Deep Learning is able to solve practical real-world issues, such as the analysis of voice and images.
