The Future of Technology in 2035: Innovations that Will Shape Our World

During this conference, we will look ahead to 2035, a time when technological innovations converge and radically transform our daily lives. We will delve into how artificial intelligence, renewable energy, self-driving vehicles, virtual and augmented reality, biotechnology and many other fields shape our daily lives.
We will explore meaningful advances in automation, sustainable energy, personalized medicine and additive manufacturing, as well as progress in space exploration and quantum technologies. We will investigate how these technologies influence our economy, our environment, our education and our way of life and meet the challenges of sustainable development and social justice.
We will discuss the ethical issues and dilemmas that have emerged with these technological advances, including the balance between privacy and security, digital inequalities and the redefinition of our identity as human beings. Finally, we will consider the lessons that we can learn from this era of convergent technologies and the challenges that lie ahead as we continue to push the limits of innovation and discovery.
We will end this conference by talking about the actions we can take right now to better position ourselves as stakeholders and benefit from this convergence!
