This month, we packed our bags, hopped on a plane and headed to Hong Kong. It was a\u00a0whirlwind week of meetings, talks, local food and discovering the city. Here are some of the highlights. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introducing_Blys_to_the_Asia_market\"><\/span><b>Introducing Blys to the Asia market<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology-driven businesses from around the world gathered at RISE 2018 for three days of talks and networking.

They offer app-based mobility options for more than 450 million users. They strive to harness the power of AI technology to help cities solve transportation, employment and environmental challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Didi co-founder and CTO, Bob Zhang, discussed how Didi is redefining transportation using AI. Zhang told the RISE 2018 audience that within the next decade, technology will revolutionise the transportation industry in three layers. <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infrastructure<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vehicles<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shared mobility<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang provided some fascinating examples of how this shift is already happening across these layers. For example, the smart traffic light project is one of Didi\u2019s current programs that is utilising data to improve the\u00a0capability of traffic light <\/span><b>infrastructure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in China. Data is being used to predict and adjust traffic lights in real-time. So far, Didi has collaborated with over 20 cities in China and reduced traffic jams by 10-20%. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang predicted that <\/span><b>vehicles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will all move towards electrical and the transition to intelligent driving solutions will dramatically enhance safety. He explained that Didi already has the capability to analyse the route safety when a booking is made and &#8211; in the near future &#8211; based on this analysis can dispatch either a self-driving vehicle or human driver. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, Zhang emphasises how as technology progresses the relationship between people and vehicles will be redefined. We will continue to see growth in <\/span><b>shared mobility <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">across the world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14917 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_6608-e1531737430904.jpg\" alt=\"RISE 2018 - Didi co-founder and CTO presentation on AI transportation\" width=\"3991\" height=\"2489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_6608-e1531737430904.jpg 3991w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_6608-e1531737430904-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_6608-e1531737430904-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_6608-e1531737430904-1024x639.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3991px) 100vw, 3991px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_for_human_connection_%E2%80%93_Tinder_V2\"><\/span><b>AI for human connection &#8211; Tinder V2? <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tinder.com\/?lang=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tinder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the dating app that made \u201cswipe right\u201d a household phrase and arguably made online dating cool. Tinder co-founder turned investor &#8211; Sean Rad &#8211; spoke at Rise 2018 about his experience creating one of the world\u2019s most popular consumer tech companies. Chatting to RISE 2018 co-host &#8211; Casey Lau &#8211; Rad went on to highlight the three tech developments that he is most excited about in the next five years and why. <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI and the impact it\u2019s going to have on the way we interact with each other <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VR for how it\u2019s going to help us communicate and express our feelings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-cost genomic readers and their impact on the healthcare industry<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One future scenario that Rad has contemplated is AI\u2019s ability to personalise human connection and dating. There might be a moment when AI developments mean that Tinder can easily predict the few people you are interested in, and even do a lot of the legwork in organising a date. Imagine you open Tinder one day and the Tinder assistant says, \u201cYou know, Sean, there is a beautiful girl, someone you will find very attractive down the street. You have got a lot of things in common and your common friend is Justin and you are both free Thursday night and there is this great concert that you both want to go to and can I set up a date? And here is a little bit more information about her.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rad has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/troo-blog\/sean-rad-with-steven-bertoni-on-how-artificial-intelligence-will-compliment-the-real-world-dating-4efe0176a8c7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">talked about this topic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in more detail in a Forbes interview with Steven Bertoni. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14918 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3731-e1531737522509.jpg\" alt=\"RISE 2018 - Sean Rad Tinder at RISE\" width=\"4001\" height=\"2429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3731-e1531737522509.jpg 4001w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3731-e1531737522509-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3731-e1531737522509-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_3731-e1531737522509-1024x622.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4001px) 100vw, 4001px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advice_from_those_at_the_top_of_their_game\"><\/span><b>Advice from those at the top of their game<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An inspiring panel discussion between Brandon Vera (ONE Championships), Mike Massimino (Astronaut and Professor) and Cameron Adams (Canva) highlighted the lessons and advice of these three individuals who have achieved tremendous things in their field. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were two main pieces of advice that stuck. <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advice for dealing with pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advice for pursuing goals<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Pressure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. How can we keep our cool when the pressure peaks? When asked how they deal with pressure, there was an overwhelming consensus that communication is key! Adams believes that communicating with people is the ultimate way to relieve pressure. Whether it\u2019s his co-founders or wife, he\u2019s found it\u2019s the best way to cope. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Massimino agreed by saying that if he keeps it to himself he\u2019s in trouble. \u201cIf you consider yourself as part of a team the pressure can be shared. When you feel like you need to do it all by yourself that\u2019s when you can run into trouble. Best thing to do is let people in and get some help.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pursuing goals.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What is their number one piece of advice to growing businesses and entrepreneurs? They emphasised the importance of team and perseverance. Understanding what you\u2019re good at, what you\u2019re not good at and who can help fill those gaps. A good team (whether it\u2019s business, family or a mixture) is like a jigsaw puzzle coming together. Finding that team and finding people that you can trust is essential to any success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, don\u2019t give up. Things may be difficult but it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s impossible. Even if it\u2019s 00000001 of a chance there is still a chance. The only way you make it 0 is if you give up. So if you are pursuing something that you love &#8211; get up, dust yourself off and try again and again and again. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_getting_massages_is_considered_%E2%80%9Cwork%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><b>When getting massages\u00a0is considered &#8220;work&#8221;\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In between the conference and meetings, there was also time to explore the city. This included trying some of the massage places (tough life right?!) and getting a better understanding of the industry in Hong Kong.\u00a0If you live in or visit Hong Kong, you have a lot of options for massage. There are massage places scattered along most streets in central Hong Kong Island. The challenge is finding the right one. A lot of locals that we chatted to at RISE 2018 and around the streets suggested that the best way to find a good massage place was through a referral.\u00a0Whether it&#8217;s from a friend or google reviews, research is important when on the hunt for a good (and legit) massage.\u00a0This was our experience as well. Walking\u00a0through the streets was a bit hit and miss with the places we found. Some amazing and others not so inviting. Despite the legwork involved in finding a great massage, the industry is definitely booming in Hong Kong and massage is an integral part of many city workers busy routines. There\u00a0are even (legitimate) places that offer overnight stays after the massage for busy city workers who finish late and\u00a0don&#8217;t have time to travel to and from the massage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other highlights\u00a0around the city included shopping for fresh produce in the Wan Chai markets, coffee and wifi at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninetys.com.hk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ninetys<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, munching on Hong Kong street food for lunch and settling in at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uma-nota.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uma Noma<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for dinner after an afternoon exploring central Soho.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14925\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/best-shopping-wan-chai.jpg\" alt=\"Wan Chai markets | RISE 2018 Blys\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/best-shopping-wan-chai.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/best-shopping-wan-chai-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/best-shopping-wan-chai-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/best-shopping-wan-chai-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column centered_text=&#8221;true&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_You_Ready_For_Blys_Get_a_massage_today_Feel_better_tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Are You Ready For Blys?<br \/>\nGet a massage today.
