Artificial Intelligence, data analytics,
biotechnology, robotics, digital transformation, building agile and positive
organizational culture, longevity, reading emotions, blockchain, the future of
finance, cities, media, fashion and medicine. What the world of tomorrow looks
like will be shown during the 3rd edition of the Masters &
Robots conference on October 8-9. It is an innovative melting pot, a huge dose
of knowledge on the effective use of new technologies and modern business
management presented by elite lecturers and practitioners from around the
world, sessions with mentors, workshops, as well as a unique opportunity to network
and establish contacts that will allow for business development on a global
scale. The main sponsor of the event is Sebastian Kulczyk—an international
investor, the leader of the young generation of Polish entrepreneurs, a
longstanding supporter of startups. The sale of tickets has just started.
Masters
& Robots is an annual event for representatives of the business world,
management, experts, government officials and NGOs, investors, academics,
startup founders considering the development of their business in the coming
decade. This is a look at global innovations exemplified by a case study that
can be applied in the strategy of your own company. These meetings educate,
provoke questions, create completely new perspectives and a refreshed focus on the
company's development.
The theme
of the event is the digital
transformation and its impact on us in the next 10 years, as well as meeting
visionaries who are building solutions “for tomorrow”.
“There is a
lot of talk today about the digital transformation of organizations, but in
practice—namely, introducing a tangible change in companies, both at the level
of technology and, above all, changes in the way of thinking and functioning of
employees—such examples are scarce both in Poland and the region. The vital
thing is to educate employees, show them examples of such transformation from
around the world, present new technologies in practice to them, especially
Artificial Intelligence and all issues related to data analysis. These are the
biggest challenges of today”, says Jowita
Michalska, President of the Digital University, the event
organizer, the sole representative of Singularity University in Poland. “We
live in a world where knowledge forms your competitive advantage, so it's worth
investing in it”, she adds.
The event
participants will have a lot to choose from, as there are 3 stages and many
events: the main Masters & Robots stage, the Masters & Robots Youth stage, and the COINs stage, dedicated in particular to AI and data analytics and
run by MIT professors. During the conference there will be held workshops with foreign experts, lectures
and discussion panels. Smaller meetings with lecturers for graduates of
Singularity University programs are also planned. The topics discussed during
the conference will include the future of business
(on how to use new technologies in your organization and how to run an agile,
data-based smart company), life (regarding
the use of the latest technologies in
urban planning, fashion and space design for the digital age generation), medicine (new diagnostics, treatment
methods and solutions that will increase the level of medical care).
The
majority of lecturers hosted this year will visit Poland for the first time and
will present entirely new concepts. The
speakers include: Mo Gawdat, a
former Chief Business Officer at GoogleX, a “chronic” entrepreneur and mentor
of many companies, author of the book “Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to
Joy” (2017), where he described his own model of happiness; Jasna Rokegem, SXSW Speaker, founder of
Jasna Rok, the first FashTech Lab design studio in Belgium combining innovative
fashion with the latest technologies; Michael
Ventura, SXSW Speaker, CEO & Founder of Sub Rosa,
author of the book “Applied Empathy”, mentor of many companies, including
Johnson & Johnson, Pantone and Adobe; Anahita
Moghaddam, founder of Neural Beings, trainer at Global CEOs, student of the
Dalai Lama; Andrea Fronzetti Colladon,
expert in Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence, MIT lecturer, assistant
professor at the University of Perugia.
There are
also some events that accompany Masters
& Robots, such as the final of the international competition for
startups SingularityU Poland GLOBAL
IMPACT CHALLENGE, held on October 7. Its winner, selected from among the
final ten applicantsm will take part in the Global Startup Program— the
prestigious acceleration program of Singularity
University in Silicon Valley, and will also receive an invitation to the
third edition of InCredibles by
Sebastian Kulczyk.
There will
be an additional event, HACKATHON,
taking place before the conference on October 5-6, organized together with the
Israeli Embassy. For 48 hours, programmers from Israel, Ukraine and Poland will
work on solving the problem of anti-Semitism on the Internet. Winners will be
presented at Masters & Robots.
