BELL, Pa., Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
(NYSE: UIS) has opened registration for its fifteenth annual
Unisys Innovation Program (UIP), the company's flagship
technical project competition for engineering students in
India. The ten-month program provides a platform for budding
innovators to learn hands-on from Unisys mentors, subject matter
experts and other leaders before entering the workforce. This
experience is designed to push participants to think
creatively and develop cutting-edge technologies that have the
potential to make a significant impact on organizations in various
industries.
This year, the program will center on ten themes related to
business and technical challenges that students can select from to
develop solutions. Once they have chosen their theme, participants
can apply their creativity, problem-solving skills, technical
expertise and teamwork as they navigate various stages of the
program.
The themes explore a variety of subjects, including:
- AI Ubiquity: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has
firmly established itself in a multitude of industries today.
Additionally, the capacity of generative AI to produce human-like
content equips organizations to explore innovative opportunities
with exceptional speed.
- Connected World (IoT): The future of IoT looks
promising, with new advancements and applications constantly
emerging. As more people, systems, devices and objects become
interconnected, the potential for innovation is boundless.
- Zero Trust Security: Zero Trust operates on the
principle that no user or device should be inherently trusted,
regardless of location. This has gained significant traction due to
its proactive stance against cyber threats and adaptability to
emerging technologies.
- Quantum computing: Quantum computing is becoming more
mainstream as a viable option to digest and analyze vast amounts of
data. Domains like cryptography, optimization, AI and machine
learning are gaining momentum with advances in quantum
technologies.
- Sustainability Equilibrium: Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) extends beyond traditional corporate social
responsibility efforts today. By fostering creative approaches to
address systemic issues, leveraging technology, data-driven
insights and collaborative partnerships, companies can contribute
to a more sustainable future for our planet.
- Immersive Experiences: Augmented reality (AR) and
virtual reality (VR) technologies create immersive experiences that
transport users to new realms, blurring the lines between the
digital and physical worlds. As technologies evolve, their
versatility and potential can enrich user engagement, learning,
creativity and interactions.
- Supercharged Developer (also known as 10X Developer):
10X developers are known for their deep technical knowledge and
expert proficiency in programming languages, frameworks and tools.
Applying students may create tools that enable average developers
to become supercharged developers.
- Systemic and Algorithmic Innovation: This theme involves
developing novel and efficient algorithms that address complex
problems across various domains. Systemic and algorithmic
innovation explores their ability to produce cutting-edge
breakthroughs, trends and impacts on technology and society, along
with processes and systems that can potentially reform
industries.
- Data: We live in a digital era where data creation has
amplified exponentially. This influx has paved the way for
transformative technologies that thrive on data-driven insights,
adhering to ethical considerations and privacy regulations. Data is
the cornerstone for personalized experiences, predictive analytics
and process optimization across sectors.
- Open Innovation: While there are ten themes, the
technology landscape expands beyond them. Open innovation has
emerged as a transformative paradigm, revolutionizing how
organizations approach problem-solving.
Teams may choose among these themes and technologies when
creating their project demos.
