Many smartphone apps have terms and conditions that allow them to collect location data from users—whether or not those apps actually use that information to improve their service. That data could soon be used in some surprising ways, by music or photo apps, for example.
Factual, a company that processes and sells data tied to the locations of 65 million businesses and other places worldwide (see “50 Disruptive Businesses, 2013”), is cooking up ways for a broader range of mobile device apps to make use of knowledge about where a person is located at any given time.

People have been using ceramics to store food, drink tea, and tile their homes for millennia. But GE engineers recently upped the ante and started putting high-grade ceramics inside jet engines. Their jet-age china is a light super material that combines silicon with ceramic-coated carbon fibers. It is tough enough to take the heat and forces inside a roaring jet engine and outperform even the most advanced steel alloys, a light enough to shave hundreds of pounds off a jet engine. “We are pushing ahead in materials technology, which gives us the ability to make jet engines lighter, run them hotter, and cool them less,” says GE Aviation manufacturing executive Michael Kauffman.
Mondragonek nazioartekotzearen alde egindako apustua industria arloaren portaerarekin berretsi da 2012an, ekitaldiaren itxieran zituen salmenta internazionalek marka historikoa gainditu baitzuten, 4.004 milioi eurora iritsita. Egoera ekonomikoa zalantzaz beterik egonik ere, Mondragonek kanpoko presentzia indartu zuen, 11 filial produktibo berri irekiz; nazioarteko salmentak dagoeneko % 69ra iritsi dira, eta atzerrian 14.000 pertsona enplegatzen ditu. Horrez gain, Mondragonek BRIC (Brasil, Errusia, India eta Txina) merkatuetan duen parte hartzearen hazkundea ere bereziki aipagarria da, aurreko ekitaldiarekin alderatuta % 20 inguru igo baita.
A novel software tool could make it far easier to bring new energy storage technologies to market.
If we’re ever going to run the world on intermittent renewable energy, we’re going to need to change the power grid, making it smarter and more adaptable, extending transmission lines to connect far flung wind farms, and adding something that we only have a very small scale right now—the ability to store electricity generated when the sun is shining for use when it isn’t.
Startup accelerators have gone “niche” over the last year. Instead of simply copy and pasting the Y Combinator model ad nauseam, incubators have started to seep into verticals, tailoring their programs to particular industries. Education technology has been enjoying more attention from entrepreneurs and investors of late, and following suit, a new generation of EdTech accelerators have begun to pop up across the country.
