ONE: The Alltech Ideas Conference last week featured 70 speakers, including the brightest international minds in science, agriculture, technology and business.
Peter Diamandis, founder of the XPRIZE Foundation and co-founder of Singularity University, addressed attendees on disruptive innovations, highlighting that the only constant is change, and the rate of change is increasing.
“To stay ahead in any industry, companies and entrepreneurs must think in an exponential way, as it’s exponential technology that will transform every industry,” he said.
Alltech founder Dr. Pearse Lyons presented Diamandis with the Alltech Humanitarian Award, which is given each year to “someone of strong character who uses their accomplishments to positively influence and inspire other people.”
The 33rd annual Alltech symposium attracted approximately 4,000 attendees from nearly 80 countries across the globe.
