On 20th December 2022, the CAREC Secretariat organized a pre-competition workshop session “Silicon Valley Innovation – Separating Breakthroughs from the Hype” for the CAREC member countries’ university students participating in the #CARECStartupChallenge. The two-hour-long session featured leading startup experts from Silicon Valley, Jeff Wallace and Kal Deutsch who reviewed the latest Gartner Hype Curve that helps to understand and evaluate the latest tech innovations, such as AI and Crypto. The audience walked away understanding the latest technological trends and got equipped with a framework to evaluate with a critical eye and distinguish between hype and real innovation breakthroughs.
