Harnessing the Power of High Performance and Quantum Computing 2023 | FT Live | 23 May 2023 | FT Forums, 1 Friday St, London EC4M 9BT, UK

With the rise of disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), coupled with the greater availability of innovative high performance computing (HPC) on the cloud, and the promise of quantum on the horizon, business leaders are daring to think differently about how technology can enable them to accelerate innovation.

Already, in healthcare, HPC is processing data in near-real time to receive insights for diagnoses, clinical trials and immediate intervention. In engineering, HPC and AI/ML is now being used to design aeroplanes and cars virtually, while in financial services, their usage is allowing faster batch processing to assess market risk and greater insights into decades worth of data.

Join the Financial Times, AWS and Intel for this in-person industry briefing, bringing together business leaders from a wide range of sectors, to discuss how AI/ML, HPC and quantum might be most efficiently harnessed by corporations, governments and society as a whole. The event will consider how these technologies might help to streamline existing workflows, unlock the door to enhanced innovation and tackle some of the greatest problems of our time.
