There are three leading trends currently shaping the future of technology-based industries. At the nexus of these emergent areas of IoT, Cloud, and artificial intelligence is a new player on the Vancouver tech scene. Motorola Solutions, a leader in advanced security technology and a new addition to the realm, is looking for skilled tech talent to join its local team. "Motorola is a well-known name, but people often associate it with the consumer mobile phone company. That's not Motorola Solutions today, though," Hamish Dobson, vice president of product management at Motorola Solutions, tells Daily Hive.

Verily partnered with MosquitoMate, a Kentucky-based sterile mosquito breeder, and Fresno's local authority, the Consolidated Mosquito Abatement District, to release a million insects a week through the end of 2017. His team used a sieve-like device to sort the sexes by size in their pupal stage, and then gave each mosquito another look under a microscope before shipping them from Kentucky to California, where district officials released the bugs by hand, shaking them out of cardboard tubes. If this summer's trial proves effective, Mulligan and Dobson hope they could expand to other places in California and wipe out the existing pockets of Aedes aegypti before they become a permanent feature of the landscape. Its ultimate goal is to be able to make more mosquito factories, ready to ship all over the world whenever a new mosquito-borne disease strikes.
