Our long-term focus is on the development of new and existing HPE partners. | | | | We are convinced that HPE is best positioned in the current dynamic market, which is why we offer our partners specially tailored workshops on the focused solution portfolio. The transfer of know-how and the use of modern communication channels, such as our social business community, are particularly important to us. The constant changes in the HPE solution portfolio requires regular training to keep up-to-date with the latest developments. That’s why we offer our partners a variety of courses as part of our Training programme. It is also essential that theory is combined with practice, for example through hands-on labs & demos.

THEY’RE CALLING IT “TECH IMPACT 2030,” AN OPEN COLLABORATION FOCUSED ON BRINGING TOGETHER THE BRIGHTEST MINDS IN TECHNOLOGY, INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT TO POWER MEANINGFUL SOCIETAL CHANGE BY THE YEAR 2030. | | In announcing this partnership at the Forum’s Sustainable Development Impact Summit in New York, they also announced the fi rst challenge they’re tackling: to help solve world hunger by 2030. Why food? By applying the most advanced technologies at our disposal to the oldest of human industries – agriculture – it may be possible to solve world hunger by 2030. As HPE’s CTO Mark Potter articulates here, our world is in crisis with hundreds of millions of people – one in nine worldwide – suffering from undernourishment. And if we don’t step up now, the problem will only worsen. According to UN estimates, the world’s population will reach 8.5 billion people by 2030. By 2050, the Forum estimates, a population of 9.8 billion people will demand 70 percent more food than is consumed today. HPE’s involvement with partners across the entire ecosystem can make a dramatic impact. Think of the incredible digital technologies available to us now, and those that are making a difference – among them artifi cial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain; new physical systems such as autonomous vehicles, advanced robotics, additive manufacturing, advanced materials and nanotechnologies; and advances in science such as next-generation biotechnologies and genomics. So, we have the tools and therefore we must try. | | | | | |
