Business networking at its best

But your network shouldn’t stop there. At the Digital Shift, you will get the opportunity to expand your network by meeting 2000 peers, and exchange your views on cutting-edge technology and business innovation.

Rasmus Ankersen
Entrepreneur, Author and Chairman of FC Midtjylland
Who would have guessed that after selling iconic products such as the 3310, Nokia would have fallen apart? How can successful companies go from greatness to irrelevance? According to Rasmus Ankersen “the hardest part is not to become successful, but to stay there”. Learn how to eliminate complacency by attacking your successes with the same level of scepticism as your failures. In other words, learn how to create hunger in paradise.
Timo Elliott
Global Innovation Evangelist
Technology by itself isn’t the biggest disrupter – being non customer-centric is. Machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, analytics, are many ways to increase efficiency, decrease workload, and optimize decision-making in businesses. But while algorithms are powerful, they also rely heavily on high-quality data that can easily be used the wrong way. Therefore, how can you make sure you turn your data into better products and services? How to become winners in digital businesses?
Nell Watson
Singularity University
While Artificial Intelligence offers endless possibilities to innovate and increase efficiency in businesses, the growing pace of technological innovation constantly reminds us that machines are about to replace humans at every level. In this context, how can we build ethics into machines and bridge the gap between machines and human? How is our society going to be shaped in the future?
