TransformBase Announces Flagship Summer Event: Shaping the Future of Business Adoption, Skills and Investment in Frontier Technologies
55-Second Recap of TransformBase 2023 Inaugural Event
June 27th 2024 - TransformBase, the pioneering initiative aimed at revolutionising deeper business and investor engagement with frontier technologies, is poised to host its next event at Northeastern University (NU London) Campus in London’s St. Katherine's Dock, an iconic location nestled alongside Tower Bridge. TransformBase has forged a strategic collaboration with NU London, securing unique access to its talent, research, and premier space for this anticipated tech event.
Following the resounding success of its inaugural conference last November, TransformBase continues to redefine the landscape of technology adoption within businesses under the visionary leadership of the EdenBase team, spearheaded by Eric Van der Kleij, a prominent figure in the UK’s technology ecosystem.
Uniquely, last year’s event captured the content and used AI to create an actionable roadmap available here.
Notable organisations supported last year’s event, including the UK’s Department for Business and Trade, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citi Wealth. The theme for this year’s event is “Activate, Adopt, and Innovate,” serving as a call to arms for businesses, talent, and investors seeking to ensure their relevance and thrive in a world powered by these incredible technologies.
Speakers last year included these leading figures:
➢ Lord Dominic Johnson, Minister of State, Department for Business and Trade,
➢ Sherry Coutu, angel investor and entrepreneur, founder of Founders4Schools and Digital Boost,
➢ Nicola McCormick, General Counsel-Media, WPP,
➢ Fabrice Beaulieu, Chief Marketing, Sustainability, and Corporate Affairs Officer at Reckitt.
➢ JP Morgan, Citi and Morgan Stanley unusually joined forces on the Investment panel, underscoring the importance of these themes in today’s environment.
Commenting on the event, Alex McCraken, Managing Director, Innovation Economy, J.P. Morgan: “J.P. Morgan is delighted to support the TransformBase event, recognising the pivotal role of frontier technologies such as AI in driving innovation and productivity." He goes on to say: "Today's investment landscape is nuanced and requires deeper technical expertise for investors to assess product fit and financial performance together with longer-term implications such as workforce skills, adoption, productivity, regulation and auditability”.
Building upon its mission to empower organisations and investors in navigating the skills and knowledge needed to understand the transformative power of frontier technologies, TransformBase's upcoming event promises to be a beacon of innovation and collaboration, drawing in esteemed leaders, technologists, investors, and policymakers from across the globe.
Join over 300+ forward-thinking leaders, visionaries, and disruptors as we expand our horizons to explore not just emerging technologies but also the pioneering strategies and case studies that make their adoption both sustainable and impactful. The TransformBase event is a melting pot of ideas, fostering a unique environment where practical wisdom meets visionary foresight.
Attendees can anticipate an immersive experience designed to foster collective intelligence and active participation through the roundtables. The event will feature an engaging agenda, blending insightful talks from industry thought leaders with interactive sessions, ensuring attendees gain practical knowledge and actionable insights.
"We are thrilled to host our second event, providing a platform for business leaders and investors to deepen their understanding of frontier technologies and chart a course towards a prosperous future," expressed Eric Van der Kleij, Co-Founder of TransformBase.
With a focus on addressing key “business transformation” challenges including integration, security, change management, cost implications, and scalability, TransformBase aims to equip organisations with technology-specific roadmaps tailored to their industry needs while feeding into government policy thinking.
