DIVERSE PROGRAM TRACKS
Inventures 2023 kicks innovation into overdrive with a range of curated program tracks leading to new insights, new perspectives and new challenges that only innovation can solve.
The Metaverse: Living virtually could generate up to $5T in value by 2030. What’s involved? Who’s setting the pace? Where’s investment flowing?
Future of Work: Work and life are blending into empowering experiences that put social entrepreneurship and conscious consumerism at the heart of sustainable local and global ventures.
Ag/Food Tech: Grow local, feed global is the new refrain as climate and geopolitics impact food security worldwide. Enter an arsenal of technologies to reshape community needs and nutritional norms.
Health Innovation: Life expectancy is increasing steadily due in part to leaps in medical science. Putting ‘healthy’ at the heart of a longer life is spurring collaboration to transform lifelong care networks.
Clean Tech: Pathways to net zero are being paved globally with a range of renewables, carbon-based and clean energy solutions.
Accelerating Growth: Going from startup to unicorn is a story best told by those in the trenches. Learning how to grasp knowledge fast is the essence of entrepreneurs and those who invest in their journey.
Computing Infinity: Fueled by artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data, quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize industries.
Building Better: 3D construction, digital twinning, advanced materials and design are combining to innovate everything physical, creating cleaner, greener, more affordable zero waste cities.

KEYNOTES
Michio Kaku
Michio Kaku, PhD, Henry Semat Chair in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York (CUNY) and best-selling author, will take centre stage at Inventures on Friday June 2, 2023. He will present on what the next 30 years in computing, medicine and space travel will look like, and how these changes will affect our economy and our way of life. What if you could connect your brain directly to the internet? Could there be unlimited energy in our future? How will the transformation of the computing industry be the death of Silicon Valley? Dr. Kaku will address topics like these and many more.
Matthew Ball
Matthew Ball, Managing Partner of EpyllionCo, international expert on the metaverse and best-selling author, will be a featured keynote at Inventures 2023. He will cover the definition of the metaverse, explaining how it will be realized. He will reveal what it will mean for the automotive, healthcare, education industries, among many others – even sex work. Ball will address the governance and philosophies of the metaverse, the various battles and wars that will be fought over it, and how independent users, developers, and voters can shape its development.
Timnit Gebru
Timnit Gebru, PhD, is the founder and executive director of The Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (DAIR) and was previously co-lead of Google’s Ethical AI team. Dr. Gebru received her PhD from Stanford University and did a postdoc at Microsoft Research, New York City in the FATE (Fairness Accountability Transparency and Ethics in AI) group, where she studied algorithmic bias and the ethical implications underlying projects aiming to gain insights from data. As a featured keynote speaker, Dr. Gebru will discuss the convergence of ethics and artificial intelligence. Should companies be allowed to use facial recognition software in their course of business? How do we safeguard our data and our privacy? What about learned or inherited bias?
