About THE SUMMIT

The SingularityU Thailand Summit brings the world’s leading speakers and experts on exponentially accelerating technologies together with Thailand’s and Southeast Asia (SEA)’s leaders to provide knowledge and insight necessary to stay ahead in an exponentially changing world.

We are living in the most extraordinary time in history. Exponential technologies are transforming every part of our lives: every business, every industry, and every society. These changes show no signs of slowing down; in fact, they’re accelerating rapidly. But, from local problems to worldwide issues, there is opportunity in every challenge.

SingularityU Thailand Summit is connecting local communities to international networks, uniting innovators, thinkers, and doers with the mission to create a positive impact. How well we are going to thrive socially and economically depends on how well we are able to leverage and develop exponential technologies in the next decade.

Join us in June 2018 at the SingularityU Thailand Summit - Be Exponential, Be exceptional.

SAMPLE SPEAKING TOPICS

Day 1

Exponential Innovation

Today’s organizations are built for a linear world: hierarchical, centralized, closed, top down and focusing on ownership due to scarcity of people, resources, assets and platforms. They evolved one hundred years ago for an era of economies of scale and relative stability and predictability.

Our environment is changing exponentially, mainly driven by exponential technologies and globalization. As a result, the world is becoming increasingly open and transparent and we are slowly moving from a world of scarcity to a world of abundance.

Ramez Naam will discuss Exponential Innovation that lays the framework for organizations to adapt and thrive in a world of abundance by diving into new organizational structures that leverage exponential technologies and a shifting global business mindset.

Abundance

Hundred millions of people are facing malnutrition or facing the brink of starvation while food waste happens everyday. Let’s find out how to tackle this challenge efficiently in Peter Diamandis’ talk, Abundance. How the cost of living such as food and water are decreasing, and how exponential technologies can be used in creating the world where scarcity, one the greatest global challenges, will no longer exists, will be disclosed in this session.

Blockchain: Securing the Future

“It's not just about Bitcoin... The blockchain will change every transaction you can think of, monetary or otherwise.” Mandy Simpson will speak at SingularityU Thailand Summit, taking you through the world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, how it works and why it is trusted to a growing number of users each and everyday. She will get you thinking about how the technology behind BItcoin can change the world and how you will use the opportunity here and now to create using this technology a more prosperous and equal world.

Exonomics

When ownership, asset values and production cost seems to be going down and virtualization and decentralization is on the rising, it is heading to oversupply. This begs the question, how do you create value in this world? Amin Toufani will take you through a journey about the 7 pillars of economics that connects people to prosperity. He will make you rethink everything you might know about how the economy works because….. “The assumptions about how economy functions no longer seem to hold true entirely as a result of exponential technology”.

Shared Economy

In the near future, we may own much less and share much more. Ridesharing, apartment/home lending, peer-to-peer lending, reselling, coworking, talent-sharing… “The Shared Economy”, sometimes also called the collaboration economy, is taking off in all sorts of niches. In this talk Mohit Mehrotra will give you the insider’s view of how Big Data, Platforms and Algorithms are fueling this trend and how these companies don’t just represent a new way of thinking but a new way to use data more efficiently to provide services whenever and wherever they are wanted.

Future of Work

This is the time when human evolution is taking its most important turn. Organisations need to reimagine what the future could be. Businesses need new capabilities and different ways of working to solve problems they have never faced before. Indranil Roy will navigate you into the future of work, to think about work, workers, and the workplace simultaneously but also to emphasize the importance of lifelong learning and re-skilling. It is very important for us to effectively and efficiently employ the ever expanding array of technologies we have at our disposal. Technology need not destroy jobs, it’s about how we complementary match it with workers. “It’s about combining the best things that human beings can do and the best things technology can do, and bringing them together.” - Indranil Roy

Spice and Ice

We let David Roberts surprise you with is emotional talk on Disruption.

 

 

Day 2

New Approaches to Changemaking: the technologies that prepare us for disruption

In this session, Nathaniel Calhoun will help you preparing for the rapidly changing world by introducing technologies to you as the new approaches for preparing for the changes that will have profound effect on your personal and professional lives. Let’s prepare for the world, which technological disruption happen in most of the places, before it is too late

Corporate Innovation

In this session, John Hagel will be talking about the implication of exponential technologies in business and corporate innovation, which is extremely vital or even said by some as one of the keys for successful business, and explaining why corporates should apply exponential technologies, sharing exponential technologies that can cause disruptions in corporates and help raising corporates’ productivity. “One of the challenges and opportunities of this exponential world is all those boundaries that we’re so familiar with are blurring and we need to think beyond the boundaries go beyond the edge if you will.”- John Hagel

Future of Energy

Clean energies such as wind and solar energy will be ones of our solutions to live richly the way we want and spare the planet from global warming, which is one of the global grand challenges that humanity has been facing for several years. Ramez Naam will explain how how these energy industries are going under rapid changes and exponential technologies have been applied to lowering the prices of these energies and making them accessible for every person in the near future.

Future of Agriculture

Agriculturing, which has been with humanity for thousands of years, will be digitized with various cutting-edge technologies. In this session, David Hunt will be engaging you to think about agriculturing while talking about trends related to agriculture, how exponential technologies can change the way we do agriculture and increase its productivity, and sharing cutting edge technologies that will empower us to do digital farming sustainably

Future of Manufacturing

Digitizing manufacturing, 3D Printing, and additive manufacturing will help us getting ahead of the curve. Andre Wegner will be speaking about digital manufacturing and technologies used in digitizing manufacturing as his main topics at SingularityU Thailand summit 2018. In the session, he will show the cutting-edge technologies in digital manufacturing and how to apply those technologies.

Mobility in 2025

“There will be more change in the coming 5 years then in the last 50”, disruption comes so fast that people are still fix in the way of the past. Carlo van de Weijer will raise some of the most striking questions. How can driveless cars be able to flexibly interpret the law in places like Istanbul or Delhi? He will address the trends and important developments for the near future. Mobility means access to opportunity.

The Future of Digital Health and Medicine

The cost of quality healthcare is lowering down with the help of exponential technologies. Dr. Daniel Kraft will inspire you to think of how to create the better world by help making the quality healthcare accessible for everyone even though you are not in the field of medicine and introduce the cutting-edge technologies and how those technologies have been applied in digital health and medicine of today and future.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence or AI can and will change our world tremendously. AI has made itself known for its abilities and made several people feared that they might lose their jobs because it can replace human in lots of jobs. In this session, Vivienne Ming will be talking about what AI can do, sharing global trends, perspectives about AI, and explaining how AI, machine learning algorithms and other technologies have been used for improving our quality of life or the way we live, learn and work.

Cyber Security

While technological advancement has undoubtedly improved many aspects of our lives, the cyber world has also rendered us vulnerable to potential harm from external forces. ‘Personal’ information, in a matter of seconds, can be accessible to the most elementary hacker. Jaya Baloo will be addressing the importance of cyber security, whether enough is being done, and where companies often get it wrong. “It makes sense to pay attention to cyber security because we DO want to have the benefits of all these cool technologies.” - Jaya Baloo

Closing Talks

After having listened to all the magnificent topics, David Roberts will wrap everything up and gets us inspired to take positive actions to secure our future. He will take us on an emotional journey continuing from Day 1 and put everything in perspective.
