DEEP TECH SUMMIT

Deep Tech Summit Fireside Chat – The Promise of Science

The sky is not the limit! Science has begun an irreversible trek into the unknown: outer space. Climate monitoring, crop yield prediction, urban planning, and disaster response; these are just some of the ways SpaceTech can help in improving the lives of people.  We are only just beginning to understand the endless possibilities that space holds, but the promise of science is there.

Deep Tech Summit Panel – Technology & Society: Improving the Human Condition

Technology today is profoundly reshaping the human landscape. Even though technology has been a part of human civilisation from the beginning, its influence today is pervasive and affecting every aspect of human existence. As the global community finds itself amid unprecedented technological change, the impact of technologies such as AI, MedTech and Quantum Tech on society, and on the human condition, needs to be critically appraised and examined.

This panel discussion will provide clarity on technological applications and their potential in improving the human condition. It will also help us understand how technology can help accelerate solutions towards a more sustainable economy and society, contributing to the United Nation’s global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Deep Tech Summit Panel– The Global AI Revolution

Cities across the globe are seeking innovative solutions in the form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve the living standards of people. There are endless opportunities in this AI revolution, and many seek to tap into this potential. An inclusive and collaborative AI ecosystem that spans the whole world (and beyond) will help to maximise the returns for humanity.

Whether it is businesses, governments, researchers and talent, it will take the efforts of all to help build an AI first world! In this panel, discover how different entities can come together and work towards a beneficial AI revolution for all.

Deep Tech Summit Keynote– Creating A Digital Blueprint of the Planet

We might not yet live in a complete world of smart cities and autonomous vehicles, but all the indications are that it is the direction of travel. With the explosion of smartphones and sensors that create extreme amounts of data, it is essential to have technology to unlock new use cases and make data-driven decisions the norm. And with potentially trillions of data lines created per day, the world is now uniquely placed to create a digital blueprint of the planet – to improve everything from congestion to pollution.

Deep Tech Summit Panel– Future of Mobility

With a growing population comes complex needs and demands to be met, especially in urban mobility. To meet these demands, cities must tap into data and advanced technology to reduce the stress on its infrastructure and create a better standard of living for its citizens. For smart cities to prosper, society should encourage innovation, investments and collaboration between the government, corporates and startups in urban mobility in order to create an accessible, inclusive and sustainable environment for all.

Deep Tech Summit Panel– AI Ethics and Data Governance

The inter-relation between AI and data has become stronger and more powerful than before because AI offers the promise of enormous benefits for individuals and society, and data feeds how AI works. As we progress in the race for AI, we need to also appreciate the value and vulnerability of data, and how important it is to have the right capabilities in data analytics to handle data and the algorithms that feed on it correctly. At the same time, for AI to deliver both economic and social progress, the responsibility for its governance as well as the trust in AI will need to be shared between the public and private sectors.
