At Samsung NEXT, we partner with innovators to build ideas into products, grow products into businesses and scale businesses that leverage and transform the Samsung ecosystem.

New technologies, new business models and new consumer habits create change, and with change come opportunities for entrants to become leaders. We invest in, build, partner with and acquire startups to create opportunities and ensure that Samsung is a part of these new value streams.

We all know software is eating the world; now machine learning is eating software. This reality is not only changing the ways computers are impacting human lives but also how the systems are built. This fundamental shift affects how our digital and physical worlds connect, how machines help us accomplish tasks and how we interact with the machines.

The growth of sensors and computing at the connected edge are creating a path towards a further decentralized computing network. The cloud as we know it will no longer sustain the velocity, variety, and volume of data originating at the edge. Architectures and workflows will be stressed to the point where a new model is required.

Our vision for the web is that it becomes more decentralised, immutable and permanent. We want to support entrepreneurs upgrading the internet.

The empowerment of users: entrepreneurs have long been democratising technology; that, in turn is democratising capabilities, empowering users and organisations to do things they couldn’t before, or do them a lot better, cheaper and faster. Over time these enabling technologies can evolve into meaningful platforms and / or networks. Even though a lot of empowerment has happened through desktop and mobile internet, we think we are just getting started.

The liberation of data: entrepreneurs can make data more free, usable, portable and positively influence the balance of power over data. We think a lot of interesting things will happen at the intersection of control, value and meaning from data for both individuals and organisations.

So we are trying not to think of the world too much in terms of specific sectors — but rather what the macro level economic and social changes are that technology is driving. There are a few other things we are excited about and we’ll make sure to keep an open mind. And of course we are most excited about the opportunity to work with entrepreneurs every day. This is why we get out of bed in the morning and don’t mind chewing through a topic on 2am on a Saturday morning.

At its core BlueYard is a product for entrepreneurs, everything follows from that. That is our guiding principle.
