About the event

Generative Artificial Intelligence is expected to revolutionize the world of entrepreneurship and innovation. Some expect the advancement in AI will open new doors for innovation and foster entrepreneurial activities, while others view it as a sign of job displacement.

Timely and expensive R&D can accelerate some industries, and machines can replace many jobs. Whether a new source of opportunities or threats, its emergence will be subject to the complexities of geopolitical trends and the battle for technological superiority. With an overview of the recent geopolitical situation under the new Sino-US relationships, Professor Ghorbani offers his views on innovation and entrepreneurship in various fields and how they can continue to drive economic and investment developments.

Who Should Attend?

Business professionals and executives across industries who are interested in the topic are welcome. Please note: Seats are limited. Attendance is only guaranteed upon receiving a confirmation email from our team.
