Digital adoption increased last year as companies looked to tech and digital infrastructure to keep going. Many organisations that were still thinking about what industry 4.0 meant to them stop thinking and moved forward at pace. Now those organisations are not just recovering and rebuilding but also looking at what the future now holds. This session offer advice to business leaders on where to focus and how to get ready for the next wave of digital transformation. It will explore the key technologies, including Edge, ML/AI, Cloud, Cyber Security, 5G, that will make up the next generation infrastructure that will power industry 4.0 and ask whether businesses are now ready for this future or what more we need to do to supercharge digital adoption and use.

The road to net zero is an enormous global challenge, where the high-tech and hard tech industries must work seamlessly. The transformative and emerging technologies, together with industry 4.0 innovations being developed by the digital manufacturing industry will be part of the story and the solution. For example, digital twin technology and high-performance computing that can enable complex simulation of net zero energy solutions through to IoT sensors that monitor and control physical, hard tech. The digital infrastructure must be aligned to get this right.

This in-conversation discussion will begin by setting out and exploring the enormous challenge of the road ahead towards net zero, particularly in power generation and transportation, and explore ways that the high tech digital industry and traditional hard tech industry can and must work more closely together. The Rolls-Royce Small Modular Reactor (SMR) will be used a case study, as will electric and hybrid electric aviation.

China is the world’s second largest economy and its second most important superpower. It has a grand strategy for itself and for the world that may just reshape the global economy. But far from “hiding its capabilities and biding its time,” in the words of Deng Xiaoping, the China of 2021 is bigger, bolder, and unafraid to fight back against what it sees as a global system of norms and institutions rigged in favor of rich nations. How can the West (especially the EU, US, and UK) work with China on shared challenges while fighting against human rights abuses and avoiding economic war, hot or cold?

It’s widely agreed that automated decisions generated using AI should be underpinned by ethics and responsible good practice. It’s also a strongly held view that decisions should yield ‘good’ outcomes for the people on the receiving end — and for society as a whole. But ‘good outcomes’ are difficult to define. Do we mean good for individuals, or the wider good? Good in all situations or just this one? Whose version of good are we using and how do we measure it? Who gets to decide – individuals, companies, policymakers? Join this session to learn the answers.

Our planet is a complex system, and its health is integral to ours. COVID-19 has shown us that in the face of imminent threat, radical action is possible. In the long term, climate change represents one of the biggest threats to the planet, but also the greatest business opportunity of the last 200 years. This year at CogX we will explore the approaches AI and other emerging technologies offer in the fight against climate change and environmental degradation. We will discuss the future of our cities, and the intersection of smart, sustainable and key advances in mobility.
