SUMMARY:Commercialising Quantum 2022
DESCRIPTION:Commercialising Quantum: What does a “quantum future” mean?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommercialising Quantum is coming sooner than you think. The potential for quantum to transform business is so great\, with the technology advancing so rapidly\, that every business leader must prepare for its impact. Companies and investors are already hunting for a “quantum advantage”—a way in which even today’s error-prone unstable machines might have an impact on their bottom lines. Within two to three years\, advances dreamed up by quantum scientists could yield real-world applications\, with the finance industry likely to be an early adopter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur inaugural event will provide an understanding of how the technology will work\, the kinds of problems it could help solve\, and how leaders may harness its potential and identify investments that offer the best business outcomes for the future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoston Consulting Group foresees quantum computers improving the operating income of their users by between $450bn and $850bn a year by 2050. Increasing hype around quantum computing has made it difficult to separate viable applications in the short-term from longer-term possibilities that may not emerge or are still years or decades away. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur event aims to set a clear\, balanced and hype-free agenda of what is real\, what is not and what can be done to gain a quantum advantage. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom industry:CEO\, CSO\, CTO\, CIO\, CMO\, COOChief transformation officersChief digital officersHead of data scienceMachine learning departmentAI departments\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom government:Head of policy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom academia:Professor of quantum computing\, physics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom manufacturing:Hardware vendors showcasing cutting-edge technology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by EconomistEvents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/category/technology/ \n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Pharma Clinical 2022
DESCRIPTION:The home of clinical collaboration.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe pandemic response has accelerated technology adoption in clinical trials\, but we have neglected patient needs by failing to develop co-created\, data-driven\, standardised and accountable trial designs.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the face of rethinking clinical strategy\, our mission is clear: it’s time to develop a better system. We must establish new industry-wide benchmarks now\, leverage recent digital innovations\, and ensure permanent cultural change toward patient- centric trials. If we do not act immediately\, we risk losing this opportunity to rebuild patient trust. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is why we are bringing together the world’s clinical leadership at Reuters Events: Pharma Clinical 2022 (May 17-19\, Virtual). We aim to define the new standards in digital innovation for clinical transformation. Join 1000+ clinical innovators and 40 + expert speakers to create an accountable clinical ecosystem where patient diversity\, centricity and empowerment aren’t just slogans – they are core principles.    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by Reuters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
