Their prospective discussions will orbit around the innovative nexus of technology and investment, aiming to equip attendees with strategies to harness emerging opportunities and tackle the imminent challenges of the next decade.
Eduardo Esparza, an alumnus of Columbia and Harvard with expertise in Finance and Sustainable Investments, stated, “We are at a pivotal moment where the investment choices of family offices significantly influence the health and prosperity of our planet. The Summit is a call to action, advocating for investments that align financial success with social impact and responsibility. I am excited to facilitate this essential dialogue in Davos. At Blue Dot Project, we believe in the transformative power of innovative finance, marking a new era for family offices to drive positive change in an emerging regenerative economy.”
Dr. Bill Tai, a top-10 VC in Silicon Valley with 23 startups achieving IPO listings and an angel backer for three startups featured on “CNBC’s 50 Top Disruptor List for 2022” (#3 Lineage Logistics, #4 Canva, #9 Dapper Labs) shared secrets to identifying billion-dollar startups. He discussed strategies for empowering individuals to discern and select promising companies, emphasizing the importance of calculated risks and becoming a leading young investor for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Dr. Tai shared a personal anecdote, “I invested in a young Australian kitesurfer, Melanie Perkins, captivated by her visionary concept for Canva. Despite initial rejections due to geographic constraints, Canva has since soared to an impressive $26 billion valuation.”
Carolina Forga, a founding partner at Sangha Capital and one of the youngest investors, conducted an extensive analysis of the influence of Generation Z, Smart Money, and the evolving role of Family Offices by 2030. With emerging asset classes accumulating AUM exceeding $30 trillion, her insights emphasized the need for early-stage investors to direct capital toward societal advancement. Carolina highlighted, “As investors, we have the power to drive positive change through strategic investments in technologies, ranging from AI applications in healthcare to innovative peer-to-peer energy trading platforms that address the world’s most pressing global issues.”
Mamadou Kwidjim Toure, CEO of Ubuntu Tribe and a prominent figure in African economics with experience managing over $25 billion across mining, banking, and agriculture sectors, stressed, “The future of AI is inseparably linked to its essential role in effectively validating data, which includes enhanced computing power and is combined with ethical policies to address inherent biases.” Toure envisions a future role for storage and infrastructure where individuals can contribute to decentralized AI using their mobile phones, thereby earning rewards for their computing capacity.
Manana Samuseva, representing Summit, explored investment opportunities in AI, Quantum trading, Private Data, Robust Cybersecurity, Digital ID, and the evolving financial landscape.
