Accra

Ghana and Nigeria are increasingly becoming the AI focus in Africa. Google opened Africa's first AI lab in Accra in 2019. And the German Federal Ministry for Cooperation supports AI development, especially for start-ups, in Nigeria with the FAIR Forward initiative.

Singapur

Singapore adopted the "30 by 30" food strategy in April 2019. Led by the Singapore Food Agency, the city wants to produce around 30 percent of the food required itself by 2030. With highly innovative, digital cultivation methods such as vertical farming, aquaponic or algae. In this way, Singapore wants to reduce its dependence on food imports. Currently, the city has to obtain around 90 percent of its food for its approximately 6 million inhabitants from abroad. Only 1 percent of the city's rural area is suitable for agriculture.

Abu Dhabi

Washington

The USA has the highest number of world-class patents: About 15 percent of all patents applied for are top patents. In China, on the other hand, which applies for more patents in terms of number, only 10 percent are top patents. In 50 of 58 future technologies, the USA is the leader. Especially in the areas of health and safety.

Peking

China has made the biggest leap forward of all countries in innovation patents. In 2010, the country was still not represented in a single cutting-edge technology, and by 2019 it was already represented in 42 of 58 top technologies. China is a leader in the field of nutrition and also in digitalization.

Shanghai

Shanghai is becoming a global centre for vertical farming or urban farming. For China, this is a strategy to supply its growing population with fresh products without long supply routes. At the same time, urban farms are reducing land consumption. With the Sunqiao project in the southeast of the city, Shanghai has designed the most modern urban farming project on the drawing board and has been implementing it since 2016. At the same time, in K11, one of the most modern shopping malls in the world, tomatoes, aubergines and chillies are already being grown and sold directly to customers in addition to clothing, handbags and shoes on the third floor on 300 square meters. Urban farming for vegetables and herbs is almost commonplace. But K11 is special: pigs are also bred here. https://inhabitat.com

Sydney

In 2001, the Australian Patent Office introduced an innovation patent that enables inventors to register inventions with a low entry barrier. Innovation patents are granted within 3 months without examination and at low cost. They have a validity of 8 years as opposed to 20 years for regular patents. Innovation patents have a reduced claim regarding the scope of the innovation level. The aim of this mechanism is to allow inventors to secure their research work in a gradual and cost-effective manner before they have to take commercial risks.

Neom

Neom is probably the most exciting, ambitious and mysterious urban project right off the drawing board in the middle of the Saudi desert. Here, strategically well situated on the Suez Canal, the city of Neom is to be created, a future project for 500 billion dollars, an innovation hub and economic center for the Red Sea region, as well as a favorite project of the Saudi king, and currently under the leadership of the German ex-Siemens manager Klaus Kleinfeld. The city is committed to self-sufficiency in energy and food and aims to become a world leader in agritech.

Tokyo

If you want to see what our future looks like, you should go to Tokyo. Two future trends are already clearly visible there: First, increasing urbanization. Tokyo, for example, is the largest metropolis in the world with a population of around 38 million. According to current UN figures, one in two people already live in a city. By 2050, this figure will be around 70 percent of the world's population. So by 2050, more people will be living in cities than ever before. Above all in China and India as well as in West Africa. Secondly, demographic development. No country in the world is aging faster than Japan. Already today, there are districts in Tokyo where almost exclusively old people live. This poses enormous problems for urban development. What must a mega-metropolis that is growing all the time and that accommodates people who are getting older and older and thus potentially more in need of help look like?

San Francisco

This is where the Neuralink company of Tesla founder Elon Musk is located. On August 29, 20, Neuralink presented the world's first chip capable of transmitting information between neurons in the brain and a smartphone. The mini-computer in the head will communicate via Bluetooth with an app on the smartphone. In the future, this technology will enable people to store and play back memories. In the same way, people might one day be able to communicate directly via thought transfer. Neuralink already implanted the chips in pigs. In a video presentation, the company demonstrated how the connection between computers and brains could work. Using Bluetooth connections, nerve impulses could be transmitted directly to a computer when the pig moved its trunk. The device is about eight millimeters thick and has a diameter of 23 millimeters. It has to be implanted directly into the skull; the ultra-fine wires are then connected to the brain's nerve cells and can thus read and send neurological signals.

Venice Beach

In Los Angeles on Venice Beach, the German company Dr. Oetker plans to open the world's first pudding restaurant in 2021. It will bear the name "Pudu Pudu", named after the smallest deer species in the animal kingdom. Dr. Oetker plans to open up to five pudding restaurants worldwide every year. On Venice Beach, for example, a caramel popcorn pudding and a blueberry pudding will be available in the future. However, the corona pandemic has so far delayed the opening in the USA. After the opening in the USA, the next franchise restaurants will probably open in Asia. The company from North Rhine-Westphalia is still holding back with information on the planned system gastronomy and in August 20 only confirmed the opening of the restaurant in the USA so far.
