The 21st century has seen a complete change in the way life operates on this planet. We are at the cusp of the 4th Industrial Revolution that will be based on the code, data or information based social and economic system. In the digital age of intelligent machines, rampant mechanization and automation of all biological and physical phenomena, technology is literally a body invader, penetrating consciousness, reshaping perception, circulating bodies and desire in cybernetic loops of information. Human subjectivity has become so deeply and inextricably embedded with technology that the 'post human' is born at the interstices of data and flesh, erasing the traditional demarcation between man and machine. This calls for alternative ways of thinking about humanity and its environments, new way of embracing change and a new way of understanding ourselves.
With diminishing workforce and rise of the machines in different sectors, a range of innovations in different sectors have come in the market that was only a dream few years ago. For example, Designer DNA’s, Precision Medicine, Digital Health, AI, Blockchain Based Systems, Clinical Wearables in Pharmaceuticial/ Medicine industry. Autonomous Cars, Hyperloop Trains, computer driven pods, Flying Taxis, Renewable energy, energy storage, and much more.
Industry 4.0. is propositioned on developments that will call for these unprecedented changes in processes and businesses which in turn will affect law, politics, relationships. To tackle these changes, our events will invite leading entrepreneurs, vendors, scientists, innovators, futurists and industry experts from global organizations, institutions and universities to share case studies, research and technological innovations. These changes would require us to integrate cutting-edge technology and science with humanities and think about major world issues from a broader lens that cover such ideas.
