5月18日(六)由「GDG Kaohsiung」開發者社群與高雄最大創新創業基地「KO-IN智高點」＆「DAKUO數創中心」合作舉辦的「Google I/O Extended Kaohsiung 2024」技術交流活動，帶領參加者快速瀏覽Google I/O 2024大會的發表內容，同時邀請DAKUO進駐廠商高谷科技一同分享Google技術應用，活動正式圓滿結束，內容精彩且互動熱烈！
本次活動是在Google I/O 2024大會舉行後的第三天即舉辦亮點分享交流會，創全台科技社群活動之先，代表高雄科技人的學習精神與做事效率。當天在KO-IN營運單位誠研創新總經理鍾金峯與GDG Kaohsiung活動組織者黃昱翔分別代表主協辦單位進行簡短的開場後，隨即由高谷科技劉信政執行長分享如何有效的在Google生態創建符合市場需求的創新服務與商業模式。高谷科技以自己研發與營運的產品「診所通APP」為例，在國內的下載次數累計達到13萬次，長期佔據安卓與iOS兩大平台在醫療保健類別的排行榜前五名，解決民眾選擇診所就醫時，未被滿足的數位化需求，並提供診所適當可行的解決方案。高谷科技的創業理念很值得敬佩，不僅要做到公司營利，更要對民眾與社會有正面幫助。但要達成這個目標，固然團隊的技術實力與努力一定是很重要的成功要素，而Google完善的技術生態與廣大的市場發展機會，更是讓高谷科技能夠取得好成績的重要環節。劉執行長指出診所通APP的商業模式已逐漸成形，未來將持續評估引入Google技術生態工具，例如大語言模型Gemini豐富診所通的服務完整性，讓用戶體驗更好，更願意為了享受進階服務而付費買單。
接著，GDG高雄社群志工黃映綺彙整「Google I/O 2024精華」，包含Google最近推出全新的旗艦版AI模型Gemini以及它的迷你開源版Gemma，其中含有大量AI研究成果和應用細節發表；此外更還有Android 15的AI新功能，及Gmail、Google照片等一系列Google服務的更新。最後，由前陽明交大GDSC Lead蔡秀吉分享「Discovering AI Innovations on Google Distributed Cloud」，深入剖析GDC的核心組件以及新增的軟/硬體設備，探索其如何協助企業，讓AI應用發揮最大功能。並聚焦於Google Cloud Next '24及Google I/O 2024大會上介紹的最新進展，及GDC整合了大會中的哪些新技術來實現AI應用以及Gemini Cloud Assist。
本次活動的議程規劃是結合商業應用與技術研發兩方面，頗為完整地掌握Google最新技術研發走向與市場應用商機，藉此也讓在地的學生團隊、開發者社群、科技人士以及創業團隊齊聚交流。會後，彼此交流熱烈，許多參加者積極探詢高谷科技在APP產品的開發心得與商業應用規劃。另一方面，本活動間接促成DAKUO進駐企業「縮蒔森林」團隊與高谷科技診所通APP在未來進行商模整合的可能性。同時，主辦方也特別介紹KO-IN智高點、DAKUO數創中心以及去年剛開幕營運的大港創艦基地的高雄創業育成輔導資源，歡迎有志於創業或想加入新創公司的青年朋友洽詢合作機會，協助您的夢想成真。
