DIGITAL DRIVES PROXIMITY

We’re in the midst of a generational transformation.
What we want, when and where we want it. Desires drive, technology enables. For both good and ill, we’re able
to achieve this in never-before-possible ways.

Our theme, Proximity, explores this multi-decade pivot: digitally-enabled technologies push the production and provision of value ever closer to the moment of demand
in time and space. Products, services, experiences more accessible and sustainable—if we have the vision to make them so. Few trends present more expansive opportunities and profound risks.

A NEW VISION FOR THE 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

AI generating more of the textual and conversational fabric of our lives. Fresh food sustainably produced closer to demand. Always-on health monitoring trending healthcare toward prevention. Virtual worlds becoming more visceral, and what this might mean for us as social, desirous animals. Food, Energy, Manufacturing, Creativity, Work—all aspects of life in transition. We’ll explore what Proximity means for corporations, investors, entrepreneurs, policy makers—each of us as human beings.

Our venue, The Royal Institution, was a nexus of the Industrial Revolution. Founded in 1799 to promote science for the “common purposes of life,” it not only hosted some of the pivotal scientific gatherings of the 19th century, it became a bridge for science and technology to industry and life.
