HISTORY

Media coverage of past KBI activities, including IBCOL & IDSOL

Pre-Pandemic Era (2017-2019)

This era was marked by an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from the two founding cities, Waterloo (Canada) and Hong Kong (China). The finals were held in Hong Kong, where 70% of the attendees were from outside the international city.

Covid Pandemic Era (2020-2022)

This era saw activities shifting totally virtual or hybrid events worldwide. The focus of many IBCOL projects converged on identity and verifiable credential solutions, those potential became painfully apparent during this period of social isolation. The IDSOL was launched as an exhibition event to explore interest and abilities to venture into AI and data sciences.

POST-Pandemic Era (2023-2024)

This era began a new chapter of KBI, as the centre of gravity shifted to  the European Union, with key emphasis on regulated industries and solution designs tackling the most pressing challenges of our times, embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations (UN).
