The Shifting AI Innovation Landscape: From Prediction to Creation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the largest contributor to innovation revenues worldwide representing 23% of total revenues in the Singularity Index, the global innovation benchmark. The evolution of AI and its applications to different business areas has created immense value to companies and investors. At TSG, we follow the development of technologies closely. What is the current state of AI and what will be the value drivers we expect to emerge in the future? Based on expert conversations, we look into AI consulting, discuss why Netflix’ and Spotify’s recommender systems are commoditized, and explore the accelerating shift from Discriminative AI to Generative AI — a transition to AI applications with significantly improved creative capabilities.

The Converging Technologies behind Emerging Themes: Novel Food, New Energy, and Space

Our TSG Global Innovation Survey draws a global innovation landscape based on answers from 400 executives. What makes the report stand out is the context delivered by our Singularity Think Tank members. Why does space mining resemble the Gold Rush in the Wild West? Which Advanced Materials enable the path to sustainability goals? What does cell-based protein have in common with the cell-phone industry in the 90s? And how do technologies converge to create better solutions, products, and services?

What’s the Bottleneck in the Novel Food Evolution?

TSG follows an expert-led approach to analyzing innovation value chains. Ahead of the semi-annual rebalancing of the Singularity Index™, we consult our expert Think Tank to delve deeply into emerging and applied technologies. In conversation with Singularity Think Tank experts and novel food entrepreneurs Sandhya Sriram and HonMun Yip, we explore some of the key innovations in cultivated protein and the industry’s main technological and societal barriers. What are the current technological developments driving the transition to alternative protein sources, and ultimately, a more sustainable food system?

Switzerland is “Renovating” the Internet and has a Lead in Data Ethics

Our CEO and co-founder Evelyne Pflugi presents the TSG innovation study and comments on a vision shared by Singularity Think Tank experts: “In 10 years, it’s conceivable that our meat will come from kitchen top bioreactors at home and in restaurants.” — On May 31 2022, Swiss investment boutique The Singularity Group (TSG) and Lucerne Business invited industry representatives for a presentation on the TSG Global Innovation Survey and a panel discussion with Suzanne Thoma (CEO BKW, Chairwoman of the Board Sulzer), Marc Schürmann (Executive Vice President Komax Wire Processing), Peter Delfosse…

Innovation as a Catalyst for Circularity: How CO2 and Waste Become Sought-After Resources

Everybody is talking about circularity — or ‘circular economy.’ Behind the buzzword, the concept refers to reducing harmful byproducts of our consumer society and, ultimately, to recycling residual materials down to zero. Investors wanting to make a real difference in the circular economy, should know where its drivers and catalysts take effect. — TSG follows an expert-led approach to understanding innovation value chains. Our daily business revolves around this. Twice a year, ahead of the semi-annual rebalancing of the Singularity Index, we further intensify this expert interaction. The knowledge gained from these Singularity Think Tank Weeks directly feeds into the Singularity Index’s rebalancing…

The Theme of All Themes: Applied Innovation

Is the Singularity Fund a theme fund? Not really. However, we do subscribe to a theme: applied innovation. By investing in the most important enabling technologies, we naturally cover the most relevant innovation themes: the ones that happen. We asked our CEO Evelyne Pflugi and CIO Gregory Hung what we do differently. — The number of thematic funds is increasing. How do you explain this trend? Gregory Hung: Thematic funds are a marketing and client engagement tool. It’s about the stories that inspire investors and make their assets more relatable. To invest in a fund means to be invested in a cause. Customers identify with the topics they choose, they support them and/or strongly believe in…

How Innovative are Global Equity Indices?

We assessed the overall Singularity Score of the MSCI All Country World, the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite, and other equity indices and benchmarked them against the Singularity Strategy. — Capturing innovation requires — innovation. Traditional concepts of measuring innovation only take metrics such as R&D or patent spend, keywords in company reports, or media exposure into account. Keywords and reports are manipulable, R&D efforts and patents alone don’t guarantee success. That’s why these concepts don’t reflect engagement in applied…

Buzzword Bingo — Greenwashing in Tech

Almost no other industry is as driven and characterized by buzzwords as the technology sector. Our Singularity Think Tank fellows are there to help us maneuver linguistic traps and false perception. — Buzzwords are hated as much as they are loved. Sometimes, they are banks’ and asset managers’ fast track to clients’ attention, other times, they are the media-inspired way to investors’ most regretted mistakes. They grab attention, yet they were invented to simplify. They are superficial by design and in some…

Cultured Meat as the Ethical Shift in Culture?

From cultured meat to cultured everything. Our CEO Evelyne Pflugi — who is also a Food Science Engineer — brings the next big evolution to the table: synthetic biology. — While plant-based protein has become a much hyped topic, we argue that cultured and fermented products are probably the healthier and more sustainable source of protein in the long run. The technologies coming together to enable this shift reach further than meat and have the potential to disrupt anything animal…
