Some of the world's biggest tech companies started at the turn of the millennium and are spearheading major innovations that replace established technologies and existing business models, writes Thomas Kohler in her article "Enterprise accelerators: Building bridges between companies and startups."

Kohler argues that sustaining innovation requires harnessing external and internal ideas, and that 'corporate accelerators provide a unique platform for long-term growth and innovation; while providing mutual benefits for companies and startups.

It outlines the ways established businesses are building structured programs to harness their entrepreneurial power, ranging from hackathons and business incubators to corporate ventures, mergers and acquisitions.

It then identifies the ten most important characteristics of successful enterprise accelerators, including those associated with Samsung, Orange, and Cisco.

He says: “Our research proposes a series of questions that corporate accelerator leaders need to answer, and these are broken down into four design dimensions: Proposition (what do you want to achieve) Process (how will you do it) People (what initiatives will you accelerate and how will you engage) Presence (where should they be hosted)

Successful enterprise accelerators share the following characteristics:

Maintain ownership of startups
Focus on specific industries
Tighten the innovation cycle
Balance structure with flexibility
Give autonomy with meaningful interactions
Choose starters carefully
Ensure corporate compliance
Encourage networking and mentoring
Enhance personal interactions online
Feed Serendipity

"SIM" system for passive tracking against the lost

Engineers in Hacettepe Technopolis have developed a local software that can give the coordinates of the person's location with a deviation of 10 centimeters via the SIM card. Engineers in Hacettepe Technopolis have developed a local software that can give the coordinates of the person's location with a deviation of 10 centimeters via the SIM card.

The "person tracking system", designed as a watch, necklace or key chain, also enables the family to communicate with their child continuously with its "push-to-talk" feature. The system, which finds the missing person, albeit in another part of the world, can be designed in various ways for children, the elderly and the sick.

Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), ARGUS Defense Manager İbrahim Sezgin said that there are many drawbacks in the use of foreign-sourced person tracking systems in Turkey, and that there is no domestic production of these products.

Stating that they have developed Argus Search systems (AR-A) for children, patients and the elderly with the work of R&D teams on the sad news about children recently, Sezgin explained that the system is designed in forms such as wristbands, watches and jewelry.

Stating that the system works in two different categories, Sezgin explained that the model they made in the form of small watches, wristbands, necklaces and key chains works with infrared readers called RFID, and gave the following information:

"This system does not work with any SIM card. When the child goes out of the area determined by the family, it gives an alarm or information. This distance can be 50 meters or 20 meters ... As soon as the child leaves this area, the doorbell is stolen, the mobile phone alarm is activated or "It also warns families when the siren is beeping inside the house. Since this system is not connected to any GSM operator, it can be obtained much cheaper."

-Constantly communicating with the person and the satellite

Sezgin stated that the other categories are also in the form of watches, and a SIM card is inserted into this model. About the following model, Sezgin said, "This SIM card communicates constantly with the connected person and the satellite. At the same time, it enables the child to communicate directly with his/her family by pressing a single button in the form of 'push-to-talk'. "This system can find the missing person. This notification instantly informs your mobile phone of the location of the person you want to know, with a deviation of 10 centimeters."

Explaining that the call systems have GSM and GPS features, Sezgin noted that the system can instantly report the coordinates and location status to the apparatus, mobile phone or tablet, laptop that the person will be with.

Sezgin pointed out that if the SIM card system is installed in the cars, the stolen cars can be found easily even if they change country.

- Established a Call Center

Explaining that the system can be used without making an agreement with any operator, Sezgin said, "Thanks to the software we have developed, you do not need to make any notification to the GSM company. When a simple SIM card is inserted into this watch, the system starts to work. After that, by calling our call center, he can get the coordinates of his child's location from us. "If there is any doubt, they can transfer these coordinates to the security units themselves, or we can transfer them. We have also established the necessary Call Center for this. We can track people very quickly, without paying any extra cost to GSM companies by putting the product on a child's arm or putting it in their bag."

Sezgin said that it would be possible to add the child's or patient's heart rate, blood pressure and similar health status criteria to the information flow.

Sezgin added that since the software is native, the system can also be made for Alzheimer's patients and prisoners, and that formats such as electronic handcuffs can also be developed.

The fireproof dress in the technopolis

Turkish engineers working at Hacettepe Technopolis produced clothes that did not burn up to 2,000 degrees for minutes. Nanotechnology-based dresses, which cannot be seen with night vision binoculars, are not exported and are not even taken to fairs due to their advanced features. Turkish engineers working at Hacettepe Technopolis produced clothes based on nanotechnology, which look like a normal fabric for the use of security forces, but do not burn up to 2,000 degrees for minutes and cannot be seen with night vision binoculars.

The weight of the steel vests using these fabrics was also reduced from 3-4 kilograms to less than 1 kilogram by using nanotechnology.

İbrahim Sezgin, "ARGUS Defense" Manager, one of the Turkish defense industry companies in Hacettepe Technopolis, explained that they have been conducting R&D studies on ballistic protective materials and tactical equipment for many years.

USED 14 YEARS AGO

Explaining that the first example of the state-of-the-art fireproof clothes they developed was used by the special forces 14 years ago, Sezgin said that the new product had the appearance of a normal fabric and could be made in any desired model. Stating that the products were developed entirely with domestic engineers and domestic design, Sezgin said:

“We have increased the non-flammability degree of fabrics to 2 thousand degrees by increasing it by 1,500 degrees using nanotechnology. Our fabrics draw attention with their non-flammability properties for minutes. The usage area of these dresses stands out especially in social events. For example, the fire caused by the Molotov cocktail poses a significant risk. For this reason, all our production standards are ISO?O? We have the quality certificate, we are much higher than the standards in the USA and Europe. The fireproof clothes that we have developed with domestic technology have much more advanced features than the examples in the world.

LIGHT THAN ONE KG

Ballistic protective steel vests have also been redeveloped with the latest technology. You weigh a kilogram? ?under? The dropped vests have been made resistant to all external factors. Vests that are not affected by water, sweat and humidity are the latest in technology. Except for armor-piercing vests? Features have been added to hold all weapons such as 9 ?mm?, ?10 mm, 9.65 mm, 38 caliber, 45 caliber, 3.57 Magnum, 41 Magnum, 44 Magnum, Shotgun, Automatic Pistol and MP-5.”
