Entrepreneering the Future

How do we prepare ourselves, our businesses and our society to deal with disruptive technologies and a rapidly changing world?

Join us on the 6th October to learn from one of the world's most renowned futurists, Professor Ray Wills, on how to stay ahead of the curve and 'Entrepreneer the Future'.

About the Event:

Previous markets warn us about how quickly new disruptive technologies might arrive. New supply chains arise far more quickly than in the past.  And now clients are demanding cleaner, cheaper, faster, smarter – and also local. But, curiously, most market forecasts for new technology like renewables have assumed business as usual - traditional usage patterns continuing without anticipating shifts as fast, or disruptive.  So, how quickly will we respond, and change how we live and work in the cities we live in? What does this mean for how we plan for infrastructure and regenerate cities? What does this mean for future business growth given rapidly changing community expectations?
