Building Value in the Tech-First Era
How AI and Emerging Tech Are Redefining Products, Performance, and the Customer Relationship
More detailed information
Products are no longer static offerings — they are intelligent systems that live within the customer’s operations, adapt in real time, and deliver continuous value.
This keynote dives into how AI turns every product into a responsive service layer, creating new expectations around performance, transparency, and co-creation. It challenges companies to rethink what they’re actually selling and how they integrate into their clients’ evolving ecosystems.
With quantum computing and synthetic biology unlocking new capabilities in design, security, and personalization, this session maps the future of product-market fit in an age where intelligence is embedded by default.
