Innovate with AI and Tech

Cutting-edge research meets real-world business strategy. We went deep on topics I rarely get to explore together. The biggest shift for me? Realizing that AI strategy isn’t one discipline — it’s a lens you apply across everything: product, sustainability, science, governance, and people. The lab visits brought the theory to life in ways a classroom never could. And as always, the cohort – the richest insights came from the collision of those perspectives

Highly rewarding and intense week with leading experts in technology and business on the latest developments in AI and their practical applications for organizations. Topics ranged from generative AI, robotics, and sensors to innovation business models, as well as the leadership and risk management required to apply these technologies effectively. Visits to EPFL’s laboratories brought these concepts to life and offered a unique view into how these technologies are being developed and applied in the real world.

Packed with insights into how cutting-edge technologies like AI, robotics, IoT, and quantum computing can drive business transformation. Some standout moments: → Visiting EPFL’s state-of-the-art labs, with a firsthand look at innovations in AI, IoT, and robotics. Seeing them in action was inspiring. → Exploring the startup ecosystem which fosters collaboration between academia, startups, and established businesses. → Hands-on prototyping sessions that turned concepts into tangible business opportunities – these sessions made the tech feel applicable and actionable for real-world challenges. A huge thank you.

Working in an IoT company that makes innovation a top priority, I found that the lab and tech sessions provided me with new ideas on how to combine IoT and AI. The teachers made the most complex concepts easy to understand with clarity and passion. Top program!

Innovate with AI and Tech is like going into a huge library, finding solutions to things you didn’t even know existed. That for me is fantastic.

I am seeing the first results of the enriching experience I had at IMD’s Innovate with AI and Tech, after returning to daily business. It was an intense and inspiring week filled with cutting-edge insights, challenging discussions, and fresh perspectives, all made possible by outstanding faculty and an amazing group of peers. Sharing ideas, receiving feedback, and gaining encouragement on ongoing projects made a real difference. Weeks later, it’s clear to me how perspectives, comments, and shared experiences of some of you have made a lasting impression and are helping shape a different approach to everyday challenges. Looking forward to what’s next!

This program demystifies – not just AI but also quantum computing, IoT, and robotics. I really enjoyed the chance to visit the tech labs at EPFL which can be valuable later on to provide support with prototyping.

This program is eye-opening, inspiring, and outstanding. You have the opportunity to develop and prototype your ideas. You also get really constructive insights discussing with participants from different industries.

It’s a phenomenal week. I gained a comprehensive overview of emerging disruptive technologies (AI, metaverse, IoT, robotics, bitcoin, quantum computing) and their current evolutionary stages. The insights provided have been instrumental in refining our company’s innovation processes. Immersed in transformational trends, I now feel better equipped to systematically tackle these advancements. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay ahead in this dynamic landscape and navigating digital transformation.

In one week, this program takes you from a conceptual idea to a full laid out project ready to implement. That’s very high value.

Understanding the main goals of these technologies that we covered in the training program, helps me to employ them in the right way to bring real value to the organization.

This is the best learning experience ever, focusing on emerging technologies and their influence and impact on business. The curriculum was designed in a way that allowed us to apply what we learned into real-world scenarios. I am excited to carry these learnings forward to apply to future projects! This program has also connected me with a dynamic group of amazing professionals from diverse backgrounds, industries and countries.
