Conference Theme: New technology, like AI and robotics, additive manufacturing, blockchain, digitalization, and quantum computing, is changing business structures and platforms. On a products and marketing front, we see a need for greater experimentation using new technology to better engage customers. From the management and HR front, we see new technology and labor concerns challenging the future of work.
We are looking for 8-10 startups with disruptive technologies that can change how companies can best be managed. This could include changes in jobs, people’s tasks for their jobs, new product areas, new business models or platforms, new ways to manage, etc.
Selections will be made on a rolling basis. So apply ASAP for best chance.
