      Harness new technologies for your business transformation

      TransformTECH is not just another technology conference. You journey through the exciting world of new technologies and innovation in the context of your business - and leave with a concrete prototype for business transformation.

      Maybe you could design new products with artificial intelligence (AI)? Deliver new customer experiences using the Internet of Things (IoT)? Or boost efficiency with intelligent robotics? You'll get up to speed on these exponentially improving technologies, how they may impact your business and how you can harness their power. Using an innovation methodology, you'll move from identifying a business challenge which could be solved by technology to creating a beta-prototype which provides the solution. You will follow a step-by-step approach and be inspired by examples from many industries.

      The program brings together the innovation and technology expertise of two top schools: IMD business school and EPFL (Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne), one of the two Swiss federal institutes of technology.
