What is the 4th Industrial Revolution Challenge?



The 4th Industrial Revolution Challenge is an annual series of ten headline debates on how the following sectors: health, finance, energy, transport, government and society and food will be disrupted by accelerations in the following platform technologies: IoT, Analytics / AI, 3D printing, robotics, materials, VR, genomics, quantum computing etc.

Each year Connect invites Northern Ireland’s top academic research professors, most innovative corporations and leaders from our startup community to nominate the Connect Shapers; people who have demonstrated brilliance in their field and a restless curiosity to find answers to the biggest questions facing society. Together, the Shapers define the key questions from the 4th Industrial Revolution and design the platform from which anyone can learn while meeting other people who share that curiosity.


The first event will focus on Artificial Intelligence and how it has the potential to adapt the way we work, live & play.Imagine how an everyday business like a sandwich shop can thrive or flounder, if it applies AI to its business models.
