Science to Finance #1: AI for a fertile future
Co-hosted by 2050 and Moho, Science to Finance #1 will follow 2050’s investment method.
We start with science and a systemic diagnosis, then look at the strategic challenges and emerging capabilities in critical industries.
By bringing together complementary perspectives across each value chain, we can define programmes of work and identify areas for investment, serving the entire ecosystem.
In this edition, we will connect developments in AI with the strategic challenges facing your sector, learn from initiatives across the value chain and explore what you could build on, or take further together.
These discussions will inform our open-source thematic assessments and our investment thesis on investing in AI capabilities for a fertile future, particularly in Europe: bringing science into decision making for a resilient, just and regenerative economy.
As with previous thematics on carbon and oceans, we will share the work with fellow co-investors and public and private capital allocators.
Agenda
Each room brings together founders, operators, scientists, civil society, corporates, investors, policy makers and family offices to identify priorities for joint work and investment.
Everyone contributes. [/!\ invitation-only]
