Growth and Innovation in an AI-Driven World
The world is in the midst of the most powerful technological shift in modern times, driven by artificial intelligence. Established business models are being challenged and new ones are emerging across all industries and areas of society. This will fundamentally change the way we work, collaborate and do business.
As technology changes faster than ever before, people become the most important competitive advantage. To succeed with growth and innovation, it is not enough to simply adopt new tools. Organizations must develop new skills, new ways of leading, and new ways of organizing work.
Techpoint 2026 highlights organizations that have succeeded in combining technology, competence development, and strong leadership. We shine a spotlight on how people remain the most important driving force for growth and innovation in an AI-driven era.
