UP.Labs-Porsche’s newest startup wants to be the Plaid of automotive retail
As serial entrepreneur Joel Milne founded, scaled, and then successfully sold mobile auto repair service startup RepairSmith to AutoNation, he was plagued by a persistent problem. The automotive retail industry has a communication problem. And it’s an expensive one.

At less than one and a half inches tall, roughly the same height as a LEGO minifigure, the world’s smallest self-contained bipedal robot can self-start from standstill, walk faster than a half mile per hour, turn, skip, and ascend small steps with just the power of its on-board battery, actuator, and control system.At less than one and a half inches tall, roughly the same height as a LEGO minifigure, the world’s smallest self-contained bipedal robot can self-start from standstill, walk faster than a half mile per hour, turn, skip, and ascend small steps with just the power of its on-board battery, actuator, and control system.[#item_full_content]
As Europe’s energy system faces new challenges and accelerates green and digital transitions, generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is emerging as a transformative enabler for critical infrastructure—and is already unlocking “quick wins” across Europe’s energy landscape, optimizing operational efficiency, workforce resilience, planning of large-scale infrastructures, and system flexibility.As Europe’s energy system faces new challenges and accelerates green and digital transitions, generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is emerging as a transformative enabler for critical infrastructure—and is already unlocking “quick wins” across Europe’s energy landscape, optimizing operational efficiency, workforce resilience, planning of large-scale infrastructures, and system flexibility.Energy & Green Tech[#item_full_content]
When disasters happen—such as hurricanes, wildfires and earthquakes—every second counts. Emergency teams need to find people fast, send help and stay organized.

Predicting whether or not companies will be successful is crucial for guiding investment decisions and designing effective economic policies. However, past research on high-growth firms—enterprises thought to be key for driving economic development—has typically shown low predictive accuracy, suggesting that growth may be largely random. Does this assumption still hold in the AI era, in which vast amounts of data and advanced analytical methods are now available? Can AI techniques overcome difficulties in predicting high-growth firms? These questions were raised in a chapter I co-authored in the De Gruyter Handbook of SME Entrepreneurship, which reviewed scientific contributions on firm growth prediction with AI methods.Predicting whether or not companies will be successful is crucial for guiding investment decisions and designing effective economic policies.
