From the Orlando offices of Siemens Corporation, I spoke with Udit Mehta, who heads the Digital Go-to-Market for Siemens Gas and Power.  His work involves developing a short and long-term digital roadmap with an emphasis on innovation, product development and technology commercialization. I met Udit at the Nasa iTech’s Ignite the Night event where he was a judge, evaluating startup ideas pitched to NASA.  His energy and enthusiasm demonstrated his passion for technological advancement and helping the entrepreneurial community.  His involvement has included serving on the boards of local technology associations, growth stage start-ups, and helping through organizations such as Techstars and Florida SBDC. We spoke of Udit’s enthusiasm regarding technological innovation, his thoughts on where technologies are headed, and how both small and large firms have a role in contributing to the business ecosystems, from the local to global levels.  Udit views technology as a productivity multiplier and experience enhancer. Through the creative application of technology throughout different functions of the business, he has been able to form organic teams & interest to work on innovative ideas and concepts.
