Fireside Chat with Guy Remond, Co-Founder, EHE Venture Studio
EHE Venture Studio sits at the forefront of bringing AI-first businesses to market. In this fireside chat, co-founder Guy Remond draws on his experience, and his role as EHE's in-house futurist, to explore what digital superintelligence actually means for the world ahead.
Guy will trace how a perfect storm of advances in connectivity, cloud computing, compute power, materials science and energy has made AI not just possible, but commercially inevitable.
He'll examine how AI is quietly converging across areas including hardware, robotics, and healthcare - and what that convergence means for business today and in the years to come.
This is a talk for anyone who wants clarity on the direction AI is heading: where the genuine opportunities are emerging, and how to approach them sensibly.
You'll come away with:
- Reflections on AI's trajectory and its real-world impact
- Current market trends and what to watch in the year ahead
- A clear view of what's disrupting business now, what's coming in the next 12–24 months, and where the opportunities lie
Who Should Attend:
- Whether you're navigating the opportunities AI presents or simply trying to make sense of the noise, this is a conversation that matters to our community.
- Business Professionals - AI is already reshaping how services are delivered. Attend to understand how it will change the way you work with and service your clients in the months and years ahead.
- SMEs - You don't need to be a tech company to benefit from AI. This session will give you practical context for how to embrace the technology and apply it meaningfully in your business.
- Founders & Investors - Gain sharper insight into where genuine AI opportunities are emerging and how the smartest operators are approaching them.
