Emerging and existing digital technologies – such as Deep Learning and Blockchain – are fast evolving, technically complex and often lack business cases. Yet, these also present many opportunities for skilled and informed organisations and individuals ready to embrace them.
TECH TALKS at INSEAD are dedicated to exploring these digital technologies and their applications as well as the impact these have on management, business and society.
TECH TALKS are both technical and business talks presented by leading technologists, thought leaders, industry practitioners, innovators, entrepreneurs and academics.
TECH TALKS span a wide spectrum of topics on both emerging and existing technologies and provide technology specific insight as well as management, business and societal perspectives.
