The Economist Events' Innovation Summit, London - 20th September 2018
About Innovation Summit 2018:
Artificial intelligence and machine learning has become one of the hottest topics in business. An army of startups has been funded to pursue the commercial opportunities, whilst the bosses of big companies increasingly look to implement AI strategies at scale. This has encouraged hopes of massive efficiency gains as machines learn to get ever better in their crunching of increasing volumes of data to understand what works. Yet at the same time, there have also been darker predictions, from machines taking all the jobs once done by humans (Bill Gates even wants to tax robots to slow down this shift) to possible existential threats to humanity.
Executives urgently need to develop a strategy to make their firm into a truly intelligent company. That means breaking through what now seems to be Peak Hype around AI to get to the still considerable reality.
Where is AI poised to make the biggest impacts soonest?
Where can it create significant new value?
Where will it mostly undermine existing business models?
What can be done to equip the company’s existing workforce to be able to make the most of those opportunities that are there, rather than merely see AI as a threat?
The Economist Events' Innovation Summit will take place on September 20th 2018 in London. Now in its 8th year, the summit continues to run successfully in destinations such as Chicago and Hong Kong and is coming to Europe for the second time in September.
Past innovation summit speakers in Europe have ranged from the chief data scientist at Mashable and chief technology officer of GoCompare.com to vice-presidents at Amazon, Airbus and Facebook and the managing director, EMEA of Airbnb. Globally, the series has attracted speakers including the chief technologist at NASA, the chairman of Mondelēz International, the president of Baidu, the chief digital officer at Cisco and many more.
WHY ATTEND
The Economist Events’ Innovation Summit will gather leading thinkers and practitioners to explore these opportunities and challenges. Editors from The Economist will ask the searching questions as Fortune 500 CEOs, policymakers, academics and disruptive entrepreneurs share their insights and strategies for successfully embracing AI and machine learning to build a truly intelligent company.

Add a commentMicrosoft opens Shoreditch startup space Reactor
Microsoft is the latest company eyeing up London's hot shot startups with a $20m (£14.3m) investment in a new space in Shoreditch, opening today.
Reactor will host the Silicon Valley tech giant's accelerator for scale-ups, along with a space for events such as hackathons to help grow the capital's startup ecosystem.
"This is a long term investment in Britain," said Microsoft managing director for startups and scale-up programme in the UK, Warwick Hill.
"It's a good thing for UK business and to help them go global. London is the epicentre in the UK. It's a good investment for us pre and post-Brexit."
It's just the latest of several new tech spaces to pop up in the city, but Hill said it was the involvement of clients such as Vodafone, Rolls Royce and Kingfisher which will make it stand out against others that have just a single corporate backer.
London is the the first Reactor space in Europe after locations in New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Microsoft is planning to open one in Sydney and is also considering launching further spaces in Europe.
"There are plans to look at Berlin, and obviously France is a big pull with Station F [startup space]," said Hill.
It's also a play to get smaller companies using Microsoft, particularly its cloud services, an area in which it is competing with Amazon and Google.
The capital is the third largest target country for its cloud business and alos has a large developer community.
