Check out my latest article: #Qualcomm acquires #Arduino: A purposeful edge AI leader in the making 🕹️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/qualco... #IoT #edge #AI #edgeAI

I've been watching #Arduino’s live event for a couple of hours. Innovators came on stage to show projects built with Arduino in robotics, smart home, drones, star wars-inspired vehicles. Each would be a startup elsewhere. In Europe it’s creativity worth celebrating as it is 😉

A Microsoft-Github moment for #IoT and #edgeAI Arduino is hosting an event later today where they are most likely announcing their acquisition by Qualcomm and provide more details - link: www.linkedin.com/events/ardui...
