TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION IN 2022 AND BEYOND

Technological development has long been considered as a disruptive force, provoking change at many levels, from the daily activities of individuals to competition between global superpowers. In 2022 the covid-19 pandemic will continue to impact our lives in many ways. This means that we will continue to see an accelerated rate of digitization and virtualization of business and society. As we move forward however,  sustainability, ever-increasing data volumes, and increasing compute and network speeds will regain their status as the most important drivers of digital transformation.

The most important lesson of the last two years has been that truly transformative change isn’t as difficult to implement as might have once been thought. As a society, we will undoubtedly continue to harness this newfound openness to flexibility, agility, and innovative thinking. While quantum computing, neural interfaces and nanotechnology will certainly play a role, the most important element for 2022 is likely to focus on the convergence of technology trends as new tools emerge that will allow us to combine them in new ways. 

Don’t miss our Gala Dinner on March 3rd at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center for a stimulating debate on all these issues and more with Minister for State and Digital Governance, Kyriakos Pierrakakis and the research scientist and director of computing , Michalis Bletsas from MIT who will also be joining us for this meaningful discussion in person.
