What are the key trends in the electronics and appliance industries in 2023? This year has seen a surge in sustainability-focused initiatives and advanced connected devices for customers to make informed decisions about their health, wellness and energy use amid the cost of living crisis. The semiconductor industry is ushering in a new era of globalisation as countries seek self-reliance, and AI has become all-pervasive with applications ranging from predictive analytics to robotics. Companies continue to leverage the metaverse and AR/VR technologies to provide immersive experiences for customers and to unlock new opportunities for growth and engagement. We delve into: The metaverse is dynamic, continuously evolving and allows users to interact in ways never before possible. From virtual reality worlds with their own physics and environment to simulated scenarios and events, the metaverse provides an immersive experience that blurs the lines between physical and digital space. As more developers explore this new technology, its potential for entertainment, education and commerce are only just beginning to be tapped. But before it can become the 3D experience that many envision, the metaverse presents several challenges. For starters, it is not well understood. We explore: What is the metaverse and how do you get there? How are consumers, creators and companies tapping into its potential? Is the metaverse the future or hype? What implications will it have for businesses? What are its ethical implications? How can we ensure privacy and security? What kind of applications are being developed for the workplace, education, healthcare and other sectors? How is Meta continuing to innovate? Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionised our lives in countless ways, from helping us to create self-driving cars and autonomous robots to new applications like voice assistants and intelligent chatbots. AI algorithms are now being used to automate a wide range of tasks, from industrial manufacture to medical diagnosis . With AI spending predicted to exceed $500 billion in 2023, rapid progress and competition in adaptive and generative AI is inevitable. But as it becomes more embedded in our lives, it raises a series of ethical questions. While inventors focus on whether AI is possible, questions about whether it is needed and desirable are just as important. How are gaming preferences and services continuing to evolve? How is AI being deployed in existing gaming design and experience and what is the future potential and trajectory of AI to revolutionise the industry? What kinds of immersive experiences are currently being developed? How is the gaming industry building communities? Why is this trend important? Can gaming developers survive recessionary times? What is the future of mobile and cloud gaming? Emerging technologies such as blockchain, quantum computing, AI, robotics, virtual and augmented reality, and 5G wireless networks are poised to transform the world in the coming years. The tech industry is relentlessly driving innovation in pursuit of the next big thing. However, some experts believe that innovation is slowing down, with many industries reaching the limits of what is currently achievable, and new breakthroughs becoming more challenging. Others contend that innovation occurs in cycles and that any perceived plateau is merely a stepping stone toward the next major advance. How can products be made to last? What strategies, initiatives and legislative changes are being used to curb throwaway culture? What impact will repair and reuse have on growth in the electronics and appliances sectors? What opportunities and challenges arise when transitioning to circular business models? Will manufacturers scale reuse models, or focus on smaller-scale pilots? What factors should businesses consider when designing products for repair, reuse, and repurposing? What are some successful case studies of solutions and initiatives that have been implemented to reduce waste in production and consumption? As a seasoned entrepreneur, investor and influencer, Diana zur Loewen is immersed in the world of disruption, innovation and visionary leadership, guiding organisations through dynamic changes and inspiring growth.

Learn to discern groundbreaking ideas from the ordinary, distinguish your brand in a noisy world, decode the secret sauce for startup success and ride the wave of disruptive trends like a pro. Technology has the power to transform our lives, communities, and the world. In this session we look at the most cutting-edge innovative technologies and approaches solving some of the pressing, and toughest, humanitarian and environmental challenges. Hear from: Investors are always searching for the next groundbreaking technology or product that can set itself apart from the competition. But what are the key characteristics that make a product or technology exceptional? How can entrepreneurs and innovators best position their ideas to catch the attention of investors and secure the necessary funding? And what challenges do venture capitalists and other investors face when it comes to identifying and investing in the most promising products and technologies? Gaming is commonly perceived as a means of entertainment but it can be used for much more. One area where gaming has shown great potential is healthcare. Healthcare professionals are utilising gaming to improve patient outcomes, find cures for diseases and become better providers. What are some examples of how gaming is being used in healthcare? How are healthcare professionals unlocking benefits in patient outcomes, training and more? Digital health has been limited to the B2B sector in the main. Medical devices have, until now, been sold directly to hospitals, medical practices and staff, allowing patients to use them there as a service. But this is beginning to change as the market for devices in the well-being sector mushroom, against the backdrop to measure our lives, whether that is food, sports or vital signs. Now boundaries are merging: more and more formerly professional medical applications are becoming features in wearables or affordable consumer products, allowing for better diagnosis, monitoring and care. Where is the digital health market heading? Will consumers be able to cope with so much responsibility for their health and what opportunities and risks does the industry need to keep in mind? How can different network protocols, data formats and communication standards be managed in order to ensure that all devices are able to communicate effectively? How can developers ensure that their IoT solutions are compliant with relevant industry standards and regulations? What are the most common types of interoperability problems encountered in IoT deployments? What benefits do standards like Matter bring to consumers when it comes to the connected products they use? What are the top security concerns about connected and ‘smart’ tech? What measures can be taken to ensure the security of connected devices and appliances against evolving cyber risks during their development, testing and implementation? What are some of the common, and uncommon, ways in which devices and networks are compromised? How is the regulatory framework for IoT security evolving?
