Resilience Tech Salon

​Following the success of our prior summer gathering, we will gather again for an afternoon of exploring current investment trends, hearing from startups and investors, and connecting in a space to exchange ideas, spark conversations, and unwind.

​What's the plan?

​17:00-18:00 - Gathering & Networking

​18:05-18:45 - Beyond the Ordinary: The Startups and Capital Moves the World Actually Needs, Now!

​The only constant is change. This open discussion (audience participation encouraged) explores the intersection of current macro trends, including geopolitical shifts, extreme weather, and supply chain disruptions, and the emerging startup solutions shaping our future.

​We’ll spotlight innovators, investors, and industry leaders building resilience across sectors, with a conversation focused on how global volatility is unlocking new financial models and how technology is driving cross-sector transformation at scale. From data centers, supply chains, and rare minerals to space, defense, security and beyond - we’ll examine how the next generation and capital moves are redefining resilience.
