How can you use AI to unlock human talent?

Meet Roland Becker. A passionate and skilled engineer and entrepreneur, with a special talent for AI and deep learning. Roland had the somewhat crazy idea that the German Bundesliga, one of the most competitive leagues in the world, could benefit from using AI both to find and analyze new players – to find the best talents. Roland is the Founder and CEO of Just Add AI. On mcb tech .18 you will hear this amazing story, and learn how AI can change your focus, give you unique and valuable business insight and transform the way you work. Read more



Time to Look East
There is a second wave of innovation rising and it will affect us all. Only this time it’s not Silicon Valley. From the world's largest internet population, a new world order has been created. Digital China has outgrown the rest of the world and has become the only real competitor to Silicon Valley. It is a Digital Dragon.

But what can we learn from studying the world's largest digital population and its services and companies? How are we affected going forward? At mcb tech .18 you will meet Tom Xiong, the founder of Move Shanghai, and Jacob Lovén, Head of Innovation at OMD, one of Sweden's largest media agencies, responsible to help large brands accelerate their digital transformation. Technology from the East and specifically China is overtaking Silicon Valley and will impact the rest of the world. Lovén and Xiong brings you up to speed on extreme digital development, future user behavior and global tech competition in the world's most important digital market. Read more
