​09:15-09:45 - AI: Under the Hood of Agentic AI
What many people think of as Al is the far left edge of a spectrum. Each step right adds capability and autonomy. Most companies live at step one. The leap is not a better prompt: it's a different architecture.

​🦸‍♂️Keynote: Sam Bourton (Founder of Quantum Black)

​9:45-10:15 - HackerHouses, New incubators ?
No accelerator, no cohort deadlines — just founders under one roof, building in real time.

​10:30-11:00 - Making Fine Wine Investable

​The world's best wines are finite — but scarcity alone doesn't make fine wine investable. Real value comes from authenticity, provenance, and an unbroken chain of custody. By tracing every bottle from estate to bonded vault, technology turns fine wine into a traceable, institution-grade asset built to preserve value and liquidity.

​🦸‍♂️Keynote: Chloé Ashton Managing Director of 1275 Collections

​11:00-11:45 - Founders: US vs Europe
The structural advantages and disadvantages of building on either side of the Atlantic: ambition, capital density, regulation, and the arbitrage that still exists.
