BC Tech Summit

Agenda Day 1

Sticky note 1 Daniel Muzyka

This session will explore how innovation and the high tech sector can help improve not only Canada's and BC's competitive position in Canada and the world, but also will explore what the various stakeholders, particularly our tech companies, need to do to be more competitive. As a country and province, we have some strengths in innovation that are unfortunately muted by our weaknesses. The discussion will draw on research by The Conference Board of Canada and its partner, the World Economic Forum.

在本环节，我们将不仅探讨创新和高新技术产业将如何促进BC省在加拿大的竞争地位，乃至加拿大在全球的竞争地位，而且也将讨论各类利益相关者——尤其是本省的高新技术企业——该如何行动，获得竞争优势地位。从国家角度和地区角度而言，很遗憾由于某些不利因素的存在，使我们在创新领域的一些竞争优势无从发挥。本项探讨将基于加拿大会议局及其合作伙伴世界经济论坛的研究成果。

Agenda Day 2

Sticky note 1 Age of Disruption –Are Canadian firms prepared?

A massive impact is unavoidable -The way Canadians live and work is about to change profoundly. Rapid advances in technology are poised

大规模影响不可避免——加拿大人的生活和工作方式将在根本上发生变化。技术领域的飞速改进已准备就绪。

Sticky note 2 Minds & Machines: The next industrial revolution

The Industrial Internet is profoundly transforming global industry and infrastructure, connecting machines, big data analytics and people. By 2020, an estimated 50 billion machines will come online, boosting global GDP by as much as $15 trillion by 2030 through accelerated productivity growth. The modernization of industry is the biggest opportunity that exists today. Just 1% efficiency gains could equate to more than $150 billion dollars saved annually for industries like energy, transportation and healthcare. Elyse Allan, President & CEO of GE Canada will share global insights on the next generation of industrial progress and actions GE is taking to develop new opportunities.

互联网产业在根本上改变了全球工业和基础设施面貌，使机器、大数据分析和人力资源三者密切相连。到2020年，预计有500亿台机器将实现在线作业，这将使全球的GDP总量到2030年增长15万亿美元。目前存在的最大发展机遇是工业领域的现代化转型。在能源、交通和医疗保健等领域，效率每提高1%，每年就能节省1500多亿美元的开支。Elyse Allan女士，加拿大通用电气公司的总裁兼首席执行官，将分享对全球下一代产业发展的见解，以及通用公司为了抓住此番机遇而部署的举措。

Sticky note 3 Breakout 2 –Industrial Wearables: A case study

Over 2,500 people in North America alone are killed or injured in electricity related accidents each year. Proxxi is the story of collaboration between industry veterans and the innovation ecosystem to define a solution that will save lives.

每年，仅在北美因电力事故伤亡的人数就超过2,500人。Proxxi是行业专家和创新生态系统相互协作创建挽救生命的解决方案的成功案例。

Sticky note 4 Breakout 2 –Agritech –How technology will help feed 9 billion people

By the year 2050 there will be more than 9 billion people on the planet, consuming our finite resources of arable land, fresh water and the petroleum required throughout the value chain of production and beyond. Feeding those billions means finding sustainable methods to produce more food without putting more stress on the planet. The innovation and convergence of technology in agriculture promises to maximize productivity, minimize inputs and create greater value from the world's farmland. The adoption of agricultural innovation will enhance BC agricultural sector's competitiveness in the national and international markets. Innovators behind the breakthroughs discuss the state of the art today -and what we can expect tomorrow.

在2050年之前，地球上的人口数量将超过90亿，这些新增的人口将加剧消费地球的有限资源——整个生产价值链以及更大范围内所需要的耕地、淡水和石油。解决新增的十几亿人口的温饱，意味着要寻求可持续发展方法，在不对地球造成更大负荷的前提下，供应更多的食物。农业中的创新和技术融合，有望在全球农场中实现生产效率的最大化，生产投入的最小化，创造更大的价值。农业创新技术的采用将提升BC省农业在全国和全球市场中的竞争力。这些重大突破幕后的创新者今天将探讨最先进的技术——并对未来新技术进行展望。
