"We believe that the next wave of “$1B+ Disruptive Businesses and Technologies” will come from the Digital Consumer and Digital Enterprise Spaces which represents a $5T market opportunity."
Overview
Digital Consumer and Digital Enterprise Investments
ITR VENTURES invests in two core industry sectors, Digital Consumer and Digital Enterprise, which define as follows:
- Digital Consumer: Mobile Computing; Internet of Things (IoT); Augmented and Virtual Reality; Device Services Mesh Architectures; and Cyber Security for consumer devices
- Digital Enterprise: Big Data and Predictive Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning/Machine Learning, 3D Printing, and Cybersecurity for the Enterprise
We chose these "primary" investment areas because they represent some of the most dynamic, transformative, and innovative sectors in the marketplace that have the potential to change the world.
Virtual Reality
Digital Investments
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer technology that uses software-generated realistic images, sounds and other sensations to replicate a real environment or an imaginary setting, and simulates a user's physical presence in this environment to enable the user to interact with this space. A person using virtual reality equipment is typically able to "look around" the artificial world, move about in it and interact with features or items that are depicted.
Mobile Computing
Digital Investments
Mobile computing is human–computer interaction by which a computer is expected to be transported during normal usage. Mobile computing involves mobile communication, mobile hardware, and mobile software. Communication issues include ad hoc and infrastructure networks as well as communication properties, protocols, data formats and concrete technologies. Hardware includes mobile devices or device components. Mobile software deals with the characteristics and requirements of mobile applications.
Cloud Computing
Digital Investments
Cloud computing is a recently evolved computing terminology or metaphor based on utility and consumption of computing resources. Cloud computing involves deploying groups of remote servers and software networks that allow centralized data storage and online access to computer services or resources. Clouds can be classified as public, private or hybrid.
Big Data and Predictive Analytics
Digital Investments
Big data is a broad term for data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate. Challenges include analysis, capture, curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, and information privacy. The term often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics or other certain advanced methods to extract value from data, and seldom to a particular size of data set.
Enterprise Software
Digital Investments
Enterprise software, also known as enterprise application software (EAS), is purpose-designed computer software used to satisfy the needs of an organization rather than individual users. Such organizations can vary from businesses, schools, interest-based user groups and clubs, retailers, or governments. Enterprise software is an integral part of a (computer based) Information System, and as such includes web site software production.
Nanotechnology
Digital Investments
Nanotechnology ("nanotech") is the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology.
Artificial Intelligence
Digital Investments
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is an academic field of study which studies the goal of creating intelligence. Major AI researchers and textbooks define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents", where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines".
Robotics
Digital Investments
Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with design, construction, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies deal with automated machines (robots for short) that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behaviour, and or cognition. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature, contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics.
Internet of Things
Digital Investments
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure.
Cybersecurity
Digital Investments
Cybersecurity is security applied to computing devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones, as well as computer networks such as private and public networks, including the whole Internet. The field includes all the processes and mechanisms by which digital equipment, information and services are protected from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction.
