Technical track
Time: 10.30 - 12.10
Place: Online
Moderator: Helena Holmström Olsson
Track description: This year’s technical track influenced and transformed by the role of tech in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Technology in itself does not reside in a vacuum; it is linked to the world we live in and it only exists through the people using the technology. The focus in this track is a mix of AI, methodology, change trough technology and the application of technology.
Speakers
Business track
Time: 10.30 - 12.10
Place: Online
Moderator: Anna Honnér
Track description: It boggles the mind, but we're now as far from the year 2007 (Iphone) as we are from the year 2033. This is the theme for the 2020’s Software Development conference. However, a factor that came into account after the theme was presented at the beginning of 2020 is the global pandemic we are experiencing. So, the question is now, what is ”The new normal” when it comes to doing business with each other. The new normal requires completely new collaboration methods, new types of organizations and continuously innovate around new business models. Looking ahead in the future, 13 years from now, how will these new business models look like? Will we still have IRL meetings or will all meetings be virtual? Which are the possibilities and which are the threats?
Speakers
Startups track
Time: 13:00 - 14:10
Place: Online
Moderator: Christine Bjärkby
Track description: In times of change, the needs of society and business is the essence. Time to market is crucial and also to scale. In spite of the rapid development connectivity and data are the fundaments. With an ageing population, the challenges from the silver economy are even more important and new diseases are something to be prepared for.
Speakers
MedTech track
Time: 13.00 - 14.10
Place: Online
Moderator: Beatrice Silow
Track description: We see a continuously ageing population, a growing demand for health care, and a generally increasing cost for staying healthy throughout our lives. The demand and supply are simply not in balance anymore, and what’s worse — the gap is rapidly widening. We therefore put our hopes in technology and look to digital tools and -services in particular. Digital Health is consequently a field within R&D that is receiving more and more attention. We foresee this area will radically transform all of medical science and health care. Already now, in the wakes of the coronavirus, are we going through rapid transformations in the health care system. The sheer definition of what a “doctor” is has morphed into a concept that gives us medical service and advice, rather than necessarily a physical person in a white coat. Patient data, AI, and new business models are suddenly of crucial importance.
