Which Way Next? is a webcast that focuses on the impact and opportunities presented by exponential technologies to solve the world’s grand challenges. It is produced by Singularity University and is hosted by Salim Ismail, Singularity University’s Global Ambassador.
Diamandis will present the case that the world is getting better at an accelerating rate through the convergence of four powerful forces: the exponential advancement of technology, DIY (Do It Yourself) innovators, Techno-philanthropists, and the Rising Billion, which, acting together, will create abundance in the areas of clean water, nutritious food, affordable housing, personalized education, top-tier global health care, and ubiquitous energy – helping to solve humanity’s biggest challenges.
Peter Diamandis is co-Founder and Chairman of Singularity University and a leading speaker on innovation. In this capacity, he counsels the world’s top enterprises and leads the university students and Executive Program participants on how to utilize exponential technologies and incentivized innovation to dramatically accelerate their business objectives. He also is the Founder, Chairman and CEO of the X PRIZE Foundation, which leads the world in designing and launching large incentive prizes to drive radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity.
Diamandis is also an international leader in the commercial space arena, having founded and run many of the leading entrepreneurial companies in this sector including Zero Gravity Corporation, the Rocket Racing League and Space Adventures. Dr. Diamandis attended the MIT where he received his degrees in molecular genetics and aerospace engineering, as well as Harvard Medical School where he received his M.D. Dr. Diamandis’ personal motto is: “The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself!”
