"We are at a critical juncture. New technologies such as quantum computing, nuclear fusion, and artificial intelligence have the potential to completely transform our society, and Asia is at the center of the stage," said Professor Brian Cox. "But the development and deployment of these technologies require a concentration of funds, research and development, and regulation. We cannot forget that they originated from curiosity-driven science. I believe it is crucial to keep the scientific foundation - the source of new knowledge - in parallel with the development of new technologies based on past discoveries. I look forward to communicating with leaders and experts and contributing to this important debate."
"From quantum computing to ethical artificial intelligence, the 2025 Asia Technology Transformation Summit will address the innovations that define our future," said Charles Ross, Head of Technology and Society for Asia Pacific at The Economist Impact. "The conversations we will have are not just about technology, but also about shaping a more resilient and equitable world. I look forward to engaging with the leaders who are driving change."
