The Future of Technology: Beyond What You May Expect
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at The Bay School of San Francisco
(see times)
Free and open to the public!
As part of our 10th Anniversary speaker series, The Bay School is honored and delighted to host Vivek Wadhwa, technology academic and entrepreneur. As a researcher, Wadhwa is a renowned expert and engaging speaker on the impact of globalization on U.S. competitiveness and remedies for the U.S. to keep its edge.
"A wakeup call. Vivek Wadhwa proposes enlightened & constructive ways to keep the American Dream alive for the best & brightest global talent."
- Klaus Kleinfeld of Alcoa on Wadhwa's "The Immigrant Exodus"
Vivek Wadhwa oversees research at Singularity University, which educates a select group of leaders about the exponentially growing technologies that are soon going to change our world. These advances -- in fields such as robotics, Artificial Intelligence, computing, synthetic biology, 3D printing, medicine and nanomaterials -- are making it possible for small teams to do what was once possible only for governments and large corporations to do: solve the grand challenges in education, water, food, shelter, health and security.
In his roles at Stanford, Duke, and Emory universities, Wadhwa lectures on subjects such as entrepreneurship and public policy, helps prepare students for the real world, and leads groundbreaking research projects. He is an advisor to several governments; mentors entrepreneurs; and is a regular columnist for The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal Accelerators, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, LinkedIn Influencers blog and the American Society of Engineering Education's Prism magazine. Prior to joining academia in 2005, Wadhwa founded two software companies.
Wadhwa is author of "The Immigrant Exodus: Why America Is Losing the Global Race to Capture Entrepreneurial Talent," which was named by The Economist as a Book of the Year of 2012. He was named by Foreign Policy Magazine as a Top 100 Global Thinker in 2012. In 2013, TIME Magazine listed him as one of The 40 Most Influential Minds in Tech.
