Enter into Industry 4.0

The World Economic Forum’s The Future of Jobs report predicts that with the current speed that disruptive innovation – artificial intelligence and machine learning, robotics, 3D printing, genetics and biotechnology, IoT and smart systems – are impacting markets, a net of 5.1 million jobs could be lost come 2020.

Yet, a global 2014 PwC study shows that the most innovative companies are predicting growth of 62.2% over the next five years, against the global average of 35.4% and the least innovative companies of 20.7%. An overwhelming 51% of the executives also agreed that in 2019, innovation is a “competitive necessity” for their organisation.

Where does Australia stand in the midst of the global race? How do you leverage your existing capabilities and resources to become a robust and dynamic player, and eventually emerge as a leader?

The Disruptive Innovation Forum gathers senior leaders, experts and policy makers who will explore, examine and discuss the ways and implications to emerge in this global race as a winner.
