About this event
This is an in-person only event!
Atoms Over Bits: Pioneering Hard Tech in a Software-Dominated World spotlights the urgent need for physical, capital-intensive innovations in materials, infrastructure, and commodities to tackle pressing global challenges like climate change, urbanization, and resource scarcity. Building technologies for the physical world contrasts the quick-hype allure of software and AI with the enduring, scalable impact of hard tech that demands persistence, creative fundraising, and long-term vision to overcome investor biases and deliver lasting societal value.
