Draft 2019 Version 2
Is About the Future
2019 THEME
DESIGNING INTELLIGENCE, DRIVING INNOVATION
A NEW ERA OF BEAUTIFUL, FUNCTIONAL AND LIVABLE INNOVATIONS
The 2019 theme investigates the role of design intelligence as the catalyst to drive new innovations that shape the future of work and society. Because when companies design higher intelligence that are aligned with people’s goals, they create solutions that are really special: beautiful, functional and livable innovations that people truly need. Leading to a new generation of Intelligent Innovations [x] that utilize smarter human/machine partnerships to transform business and humanity in unprecedented ways. Empowered by positive designs that are ethical, experiential, exponential and explainable.
The 2019 World Summit will feature how top companies and cities are creating Intelligent Innovations [x] that solve the tensions that exist around the Intelligence Trilemma (Creativity, Functionality, Livability) to write the future of work, lifestyle, health, services, industrials, transportation and cities.
“Designing Intelligence, Driving Innovation” is about re-imagining and applying a new design approach to human [x] machine innovations that leads to smarter forms of real artificial intelligence that shapes the future of business and humanity through beautiful, functional and livable solutions.

BUSINESS & THE INTELLIGENCE TRILEMMA
SOLVING FOR CREATIVE, FUNCTIONAL & LIVABLE INNOVATIONS
Enterprises often struggle to find a strategic balance between creativity, functionality, and livability. We call this The Intelligence Trilemma. The 2019 World Summit will point the way to solving the tension that exists around the Trilemma to create Intelligent Innovations [x] that shape business and humanity.
We will curate experiences that bind stories from across the Trilemma to innovate a new chain reaction of powerful ideas and images of Intelligent Innovations. A beautiful synthesis between markets segments, social standards, product controls, place-making guidelines, environmental aspirations and technological breakthroughs which might have been regarded as disconnected.
