Making the Future Less Scary: Innovation for the evolution of the human experience

Innovation – Digitisation – Disruption – Pragmatism – Tech Myth Busting

Techweek’s theme of ‘innovation that’s good for the world’ is a noble cause and one that aligns closely to Beca’s purpose: Make everyday better. But what does innovation mean in the context of accelerating global disruption based on innovation, technology platform, brand, design and business model and not lose sight of the fact that it has always been for the betterment and evolution of the human experience?

Making the Future Less Scary: The velocity of innovation today is unparalleled in history. We are rapidly exposed to new technologies, often hyped beyond tangible application.

Beca is delighted to invite you to a 2-hour session of informative presentations and discussions about a pragmatic and tech myth-busting world where innovation is good for your business – and the world.

NOTE: Donations from the proceeds of Beca’s Techweek events are going to support the teams from Hobsonville Primary & Hobsonville Point Secondary schools who are competing in the USA at the international 2019 SeaPerch Challenge robotics competition. This is a great opportunity to support the students to get to the competition, promote STEM careers and get the kids experience on the ‘robotics world stage’. We wish them all the best in the competition!
