Grow Summit Future Horizons

A man speaking at a business conference making animated gestured with his hands while a woman next to him listens attentively.
Be part of our annual conversation on the future of technology and its impact on businesses, cities and lives.

Future Horizons discusses the challenges facing our critical industries, from cybersecurity to managing ageing populations, and the role of emerging technologies in addressing these challenges.

You can expect valuable insight into the growing interdependencies between humans, intelligent machines and networks of data, as we explore how to unlock their enormous potential while managing the downside. 

Themes and sessions

Join keynotes, panel sessions and debates that explore the latest developments, innovations and issues surrounding tech. 

Some of the topics from last year's event ranged from the implications of mind-machine connections and solving critical challenges with tech, to quantum computing and connectivity in our cities. 

Plus, expect demos of exciting new technologies, including immersive reality, new mobility and human-machine interfaces.

You'll also have the chance to meet and build valuable relationships with tech industry leaders and experts.
