Vivek will discuss how exponentially advancing technologies have made it possible to solve the grand challenges of humanity, such as clean water, disease and health, energy, and food, and disrupt entire industries.
He will highlight how we will be able to cure diseases such as cancer within this decade, launch a truly green revolution in agriculture, provide inexpensive clean water to billions of people, and transition to an era of unlimited and almost free clean energy.
Finally, Vivek will discuss the opportunities for Dubai and the Middle East to lead the technology revolutions and build trillion-dollar industries.
