Salzburg Global Seminar, The Nippon Foundation to launch – Japan-India Transformative Technology Network
To explore how disruptive technology can create social impact in fields of health systems, accessibility and inclusion and liveable cities
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers significant opportunities to improve human and planetary health. As the power and reach of AI increase, how can society maximise the potential gains for people and environment?
Between May 26-30, 2020, Salzburg Global Seminar and The Nippon Foundation will launch a new series – the Japan-India Transformative Technology Network – to help forge a stronger relationship between India and Japan and explore how disruptive technology can create social impact in the fields of health systems, accessibility and inclusion, and liveable cities.
The inaugural programme – Harnessing the Power of AI for Human and Planetary Health – will convene a select group of high-potential mid-career professionals with a proven track record of change-making from India and Japan.
Magome, Japan has been selected as the venue for the first programme, where participants will be encouraged to initiate new collaborations and scale up existing solutions inspired by new technologies, and new financial, business and social models. Selected participants will identify innovative ways in which technology, such as AI, can solve some of the world’s most pressing problems.
The deadline for applications is December 18, 2019.
