Exponential technologies are driving global change in every arena, affecting every way of life. Organizations of all sizes and types, from solopreneurs to mega-corporations, are being transformed by the rise and reach of exponential technologies.These technologies—including AI, blockchain, mixed reality, quantum computing, and digital biology—are remaking every industry, and the changes are playing out in real time. Given the rapid pace of change, it can be difficult to know which technologies can help drive real value for you, your organization, and your community, and how to apply them to achieve business and societal goals.
Typically, adoption of new technologies is driven by business reasons that include gaining competitive advantage, reaching new markets, cutting costs, and fending off competitors. In today’s era of customer-centric business, we also must take into account the need to add value to the user experience of today’s always-connected consumers, who have higher expectations for products and services than ever before.At SU, we believe that exponential technologies hold the key to solving humanity's biggest challenges. We work with clients to help them see beyond short-term, bottom-line concerns to focus on additional types of impact—including impact on global health, learning, food, energy, the environment, shelter, security, and more. It’s this unique intersection of impact and growth that we explore at Global Summit, enabling all attendees to benefit from an infusion of the mindset, network, and tools needed to help create a better future for us all.
Each year at Global Summit, our community comes together to examine the latest trends in exponential technologies, discover the work of innovative startups building novel solutions, and forge new connections to help inspire impact creation across the globe. Global Summit 2019 in San Francisco is shaping up to be our best yet. Among the sessions planned are:
