About this program

The SingularityU The Netherlands Summit brings the world's leading speakers and experts on exponentially accelerating technologies together with inspirators who are changing and shaping the world in a positive way, providing us with the mindset, knowledge and tools we need in an exponentially changing world.

Be The Change

We’re encountering some of the greatest transitions that any generation has ever had to face. Technological disruption is already affecting every part of our lives; every business, every industry, every society - even what it means to be “human.” These changes show no signs of slowing down; in fact, they’re accelerating rapidly.

We - as human beings - have an essential role to play in this. Making sure that these technologies are used in a positive way, solving our grandest challenges in the process. We not only have the ability, but also the duty to strive for a world of abundance. We’re all in this together. And only by actively participating, while discussing the ethics, the policies and the world we want to live in, we will be able to shape a brighter future for us and our children.
