Theme
The theme this year is “Connect, Collaborate, Create for Good.” With your innovative mindset, you will have the opportunity to come up with the world’s most innovative solutions that will bring us closer to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.

Automation is inevitable. By 2050 as many as 47% of jobs will be automated, including yours. As innovations in artificial intelligence, robotics, and other technology bring us virtual assistants, wearable health technology, autonomous vehicles, and more, many industries are transforming rapidly. While these new technologies have brought unimaginable benefits, they also are disrupting many industries and changing the way we work.
