Honored to share the latest publication by Tony Moroney who serves as WBAF Global Science, Technology and Innovation Committee Board Member, President of the Cybersecurity and Emerging Technology Subcommittee and is a Senator representing Ireland. Innovation Ecosystems: Leveraging Digital and AI for Entrepreneurial Success Innovation ecosystems have always thrived on collaboration among diverse stakeholders, including startups, investors, research institutions, and government bodies. However, digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) fundamentally transform these ecosystems' operations. Digital platforms now enable global collaboration, while AI-driven tools provide unprecedented insights into market trends, customer behaviour, and operational efficiencies. These advancements equip entrepreneurs with the tools to innovate more quickly and intelligently. Equally, they offer angel investors new methods to evaluate opportunities, mitigate risks, and support portfolio companies more effectively. As a result, entrepreneurs and angel investors are adapting their strategies to integrate digital and AI capabilities to capitalise on these advancements. Entrepreneurs are focusing on how emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) disrupt traditional industries and create new markets. AI-powered analytics, for instance, help identify unmet market needs, guiding product and service development to better align with future demand. This proactive approach significantly enhances the relevance and impact of their offerings. Similarly, angel investors leverage digital tools to refine their due diligence processes. AI and big data analytics can sift through vast information, both structured and unstructured, identifying innovative and strategically positioned startups within the ecosystem. This enables investors to recognise high-potential ventures earlier and make more informed investment decisions.

Transforming the Future: Bridging Global Innovation, Investment, and Policy Harnessing the transformative power of science, technology, and innovation (STI) to address global challenges was the central theme of the 2024 Annual Meeting of the WBAF Global Science, Technology and Innovation Committee (STI) of the World Business Angels Investment Forum (WBAF) (WBAF) at the WBAF 2024 World Congress Bahrain . The event brought together a rich diversity of thought leaders—entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers—to chart a shared course toward economic growth, sustainability, and inclusivity. As technological advancements reshape societies and industries, the STI Committee reaffirmed its mission to bridge the gap between inventors and funding, accelerate the commercialisation of groundbreaking ideas, and nurture global innovation ecosystems. This year’s sessions demonstrated the urgency of forging stronger alliances across sectors to ensure that technology is an economic driver and a force for social good. You are invited to read the full report of the proceedings prepared by Tony Moroney and Dr Jane Thomason and attached in the comments section.
