The 2019 Not Impossible Awards and How Innovation Can Make A Difference for Humankind

In this week’s Fish Fry, we are celebrating the winners of this year’s Not Impossible Awards with Kevin Sellers from Avnet. Kevin and I chat about how Avnet, Hackster i.o and Not Impossible Labs are facilitating a new era of groundbreaking technology that is not only good business – but also good for people. We take a closer look at each of this year’s award-winning designs that include the Butterfly iQ – the world’s first handheld whole-body ultrasound system, a new hands-free device to control computers and mobile phones from Puffin Innovations, and HotSpot – whose mission it is to connect the 3.9 billion people in the world who do not have access to the internet.
