HI. I'M @PETERBIHR.I help companies with their strategy & run conferences about emerging technology.
One conference is about the Internet of Things (IoT): ThingsCon.
Web: thewavingcat.com Mail: [email protected]
1) R&D: WHAT'S NEXT?▸ Watch cutting edge innovators
▸ Analyze the impact of emerging technologies
2) TRANSLATE THE INSIGHTS INTO ACTION▸ Into conferences. Open-ended, future-proofing.
▸ Into consulting, advisory, strategy. Applied, to solve concrete challenges and unlock potential.
WHERE TO LOOK?The most innovative things tend to happen on the fringes:
technologists, startups, researchers, scientists, artists, makers. All of you!
Then, they get amplified through corporations.
Both sides need each other.
