Overview
AI has moved past the first wave. Most of us know the basics by now, and the question is no longer what AI can do. Join us for this Tech Talk as part of SGInnovate's Let's TECH It series, in collaboration with Northwestern University's alumni AI Group, where we look at what comes next.
The evening runs as two panels. The first looks at where the opportunities are forming. Where is value shifting, what is opening up that was not possible a year ago, and where should we be putting our attention right now? The second turns to the harder part, which is making AI work inside an organisation once the opportunity has been identified.
Across both panels you will hear from a global platform player, a cloud provider, a venture builder, an AI-native startup, and senior operators who have led AI adoption inside large enterprises.
Come with a question or an opportunity you are weighing.

By the end of the session, participants will:
