Data-driven awards

To identify the Most Improbable Comeback and Most Powerful Goal awards for the 2021 to 2022 Premier League season, Oracle data scientists crunched billions of data points from 380 matches. Learn more about how they did it—and who won.

Practical innovation

The newly redesigned Oracle Industry Lab outside Chicago is an engine for new ideas, showcasing the latest technology for construction, manufacturing, utilities, and other industries. The drones, virtual reality, IoT, 5G, and robotics used at the lab aren’t just gimmicks—they’re available to solve customer problems today.

Startups make their pitches

Oracle Startup Idol traveled to Israel—the Startup Nation—where six founders had a few minutes each to pitch. Winners include a platform to help founders launch startups using brief pitch videos (think TikTok for business), a healthcare startup to help detect heart rhythm disorders, and a tech business refining location-as-a-service capabilities to the centimeter level.
