The Next Trillion Dollars: Turning AI Innovation into Real-World Impact
The rapid expansion of AI is driving unprecedented investment across industries. But where will the greatest value be created, and how can it be harnessed to address real-world challenges?
Hosted by Mastercard, this session explores how AI and innovation are creating new pathways for participation in the economy, enabling businesses, consumers, and communities to contribute to and benefit from sustainable growth.
Join leaders from Microsoft, Resilience Investment, and Elemental Impact to discuss how technology, partnerships, and new business models can help scale impact while creating shared value.
The program will also feature an exclusive first look at Pentatonic's AI-enabled beauty packaging takeback kiosk, launching in partnership with Kiehl’s this fall. Through a live demonstration and discussion with Pentatonic Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer, Jamie Hall, and Kiehl's, attendees will explore how technology and circular design can work together to recover valuable materials, reduce waste, and create more engaging pathways for consumer participation in the circular economy.
