Karim Tarraf at the Digital Summit in Berlin: Creating digital value together

The German Digital Gipfel (digital summit) is the central platform for shaping the digital endeavour with all those involved. Representatives of the federal government and key companies of the digital economy will meet at the Digital Summit 2022 on 8 and 9 December. Our CEO, Karim Tarraf,  is there together with the other members of the Beirat Junge Digital Wirtschaft.

The focus of this year’s summit is the topic of data economy. This year, the Digital Gipfel, with its extensive network, will focus on the question of how the data economy, as a driver of digital transformation, can increase the opportunities of digitalisation. Events, exhibits and showcases will inspire stakeholders to make the world more efficient and sustainable with the help of digital technologies and data-based applications.

With the mission of «Creating digital value together», the potential of networked data is to be used for the challenges of our time – from innovation and competitiveness to smart, safe and sustainable mobility to the working world of tomorrow.

First Hawa Dawa measurement device deployed in the USA: plug-and-play

We are proud to have our first Sentience Measurement Device installed in the USA (Sacramento). It is a significant step to enter business in a country on another continent.

Additionally, the installation and deployment of the device provided evidence that our processes and technology are professionally defined and elaborated. So, in California, it was a true plug-and-play installation: The customer followed the steps in our installation manual, and the Sentience device just started working and provided data.

The Sentence device was installed and deployed thousands of miles from our home base with zero issues. This demonstrates that our hardware, connectivity options, and processes are robust and 100% ready for standard field roll-out:

  1. A detailed installation handbook supports our customers for a smooth self-setup
  2. Our remote performance monitoring works beyond borders and would detect issues immediately
  3. Our connectivity options (LoRaWAN, GSM/EDGE, and LTE-M) are ready for global use.

Karim Tarraf takes over the lead of the chapter «Startup Competencies for Public Procurement» in the advisory board «Junge Digitale Wirtschaft » of the Federal Ministry of Economy and Climate

The advisory board «Junge Digitale Wirtschaft «(Young Digital Economy)  provides first-hand advice to the German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection on current issues of digital transformation. The focus is on the development and potential of the young digital economy and new digital technologies in Germany. Because of the dynamics of the digital economy, the advisory board is designed to be flexible and open. The goal: a direct and practice-oriented dialogue between the young German digital and startup scene and politics.

The board, which renews itself yearly, is staffed with founders, business leaders, investors and digital associations. Hawa Dawa is proud to announce that Robert Habeck appointed CEO and co-founder Karim Tarraf to the advisory board as one of a total of 29 members.

The current advisory board will focus on key areas:

  • Accelerating sustainable transformation
  • Establishing digital sovereignty
  • Securing Germany as a high-tech location
  • Reducing bureaucracy/level playing field

To this end, the board has organised itself into eight chapters. Karim Tarraf has taken over the lead of the «Startup Competencies for Public Procurement» chapter. Together with Anne Kjær Bathel, he will work on finding holistic ways for startups to be involved in larger public sector contracts.

The focus will be on digital startups as well as social startups. Because even though the business models are different, both struggle with the same challenges. On the one hand, Karim Tarraf can contribute his first-hand experience of Hawa Dawa as a startup whose solution is primarily aimed at public clients. On the other hand, he is intensively networked in the German startup ecosystem. He invites startups to send their input on this topic to him or Anna Kjær Bathel via LinkedIn. Lastly, Karim Tarraf also has insights into how similar issues are dealt with abroad.
