One of the leading futurists in the tech industry, Ray Kurzweil has been described as "the restless genius" by the Wall Street Journal and "the ultimate thinking machine," by Forbes. Kurzweil invented the first CCD scanner, reading machines for the blind, and music synthesizers that have been used by Stevie Wonder. He has authored six books, including four best sellers. His inventions have earned him many accolades, including the Dickson Prize, Carnegie Mellon's top science prize, nine honorary degrees, and citations from two U.S. presidents. He was also named Inventor of the Year by MIT.
Kurzweil will present "Why we are in the most transforming period in history: The democratization of innovation in an era of accelerating technologies."
Henry Chesbrough is the originator of the term "open innovation,"
During the conference, Chesbrough will present "Innovating innovation: Where we are and where we are going." His topic will address bridging the gap between the "what" and the "how"; making the shift from products and technologies to business models and value; how to effectively make use out of unused ideas; and the fundamentals of a successful open innovation strategy.
