Will material and labor shortages persist and prolong supply chain bottlenecks? How will the seemingly intractable U.S.-China trade conflict continue to stymie the international economy at large? Will nationalism\, populism and the decoupling of trade and investment lead to even frostier relations between the world’s leading economies? How will U.S. mid-term elections weigh on Wall Street and influence public policies related to monetary\, fiscal\, and tax strategies? \nOther things to watch out for include other geopolitical risks (i.e.\, Iran\, North Korea\, Russia and\, even more worrisome\, South China Sea territorial grabs)\, black swan events\, and potential blind spots that may disrupt the future performance of U.S. business and industry. Closer to home\, how will these factors affect Michigan’s global competitiveness\, especially advanced manufacturing and high-tech sectors? \nSpeakers will address these questions and focus on industries and countries/regions around the world where growth opportunities are particularly strong. They will also examine projected trends in manufacturing\, two-way trade and investment flows and\, finally\, identify industries and countries that will either benefit or be challenged by globalization in the short and medium terms. \n‍ \n\nAgenda\n\n8:00 a.m. Registration and Breakfast Reception\n9:00 a.m. Welcome and Introductions – Tom Kelly\, Executive Director and CEO\, Automation Alley\n9:05 a.m. Advancing Michigan’s World Leading Role in Industry 4.0 – Quentin L.

New COVID-19 travel testing restriction are complicating Cross-Border travel and increasing the cost of doing business.  The travel regulations are changing on a regular basis\, and each destination has separate testing and vaccination requirements making the situation even more complex. \nIn addition to the travel restriction\, manufacturers must also contend with the tough decision on whether they should mandate COVID-19 vaccinations at the workplace. COVID-19 vaccination policies must be carefully drafted to respect the employees’ right to medical privacy and the employees’ right to be free from prohibited discrimination and harassment.  Depending on the policy stance taken\, adopting a COVID-19 rapid antigen screening program to augment the vaccination policy can create a safe working environment. \nThis webinar will assist employers and HR professionals as they seek to address COVID-19 travel challenges\, workplace screening models\, and vaccination policies options and obligations. \nSpeakers \nDr. Phillip Olla is the Founder and CEO of Audacia Bioscience.

A virtual journey of entrepreneurship\, skills for success\, technology and community. It is brought to you by the WindsorEssex Economic Development Corporation in partnership with the WindsorEssex Small Business Centre and WEtech Alliance. \nThis program is being offered as part of the region’s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy\, funded by the Federal Government. This strategy\, in collaboration with 5 partners\, encourages and promotes women entrepreneurs to start and grow emerging technology businesses. The project also enhances data and knowledge banks to develop a clearer picture of the women entrepreneur ecosystem and increase representation of women entrepreneurs in emerging technology sectors. \n* Please note attendance to this webinar is limited to 500 registrants. \n\n\nPart 4: Into the Mysterious World of a Thinking Business\nNo question about it\, we live in a world that collects data: every action\, reaction\, and process can be instantly digitized but does that yield knowledge? After all\, Big Data without insights is\, well\, just a bunch of data. And if we are collecting more and more data\, and we aren’t getting more and more insightful\, then quite simply\, we are getting dumber as organizations: we are more and more guilty about not knowing what we could already know! \nWhat’s more\, we’ve left a world where everyone talks to everyone and morphed into one where everything can talk to everything; the Internet of Things (IOT) is truly the birth of the trillion-sensor economy and this will make that data collection curve we can’t tame even steeper. Enter chat bots\, weather\, drones\, 5-G communications\, wearables\, autonomous\, and more to our technology years (which are like dog years in terms of advancement) and there is cause for concern but also optimism for opportunity. \nPause for a moment and consider the analytics journey in the last two decades. We started by finding needles in haystacks (data warehousing\, columnar databases); then we thought we could find the needle if we added more hay (Hadoop and the big data lake); today we are left to find needles in stacks of needles and this conundrum quite simply has presented us with a pivotal moment: LIFT\, SHIFT\, RIFT\, or CLIFF? \nS.O.S. We’re going to need some help: enter the world of deep learning\, cognitive computing\, and AI. After this talk\, you’ll have a good foundation on the trends and opportunities that have created this unprecedented era of ideation\, innovation\, and renovation. You’ll learn about Deep Learning and AI\, bots\, streaming data\, IOT (and a couple of other buzz words people tried to impress you with but never do) and how these technologies have been applied across a myriad of forward thinkers across multiple industries – including your own. \n\n\nPart 5: How to Raise Funding to Grow Your Business\nThe inspiration behind what I do and EnrichHER’s dedication and purpose comes from the story of a woman named “Barbara Jones\,” who built her IT consultancy into a $1.2M business from the ground up. But when it was time to get capital for her business\, she wasn’t able to access it from the banks. It wasn’t because she didn’t have revenue or cash flow — it’s because there aren’t enough resources dedicated to women led businesses. \nAs the CEO and founder of EnrichHER\, I’m going to share with you my tips and tricks about getting financing for your company! I’ve learned this must have know how through my experience raising money for my own education (which includes a PhD in Systems Engineering and three other degrees) and business. You’re going to hear about proven strategies for accessing capital from all kinds of avenues\, philanthropic\, venture\, and so on. \n\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\n\n\nPaul Zikopoulos \, VP Cognitive Systems – IBM\, Professional Speaker & Author \nPaul Zikopoulos is an award-winning professional writer and speaker who has been consulted on the topic of AI & Big Data by the popular TV show “60 Minutes”. Most recently\, Paul was named to Analytics Insights’ “2019 Top 100 Global AI & Big Data Influencers” list and has appeared on over a dozen other global “Experts to Follow” and “Influencers” lists. You’ll also find Paul taking a very active role around Women in Technology (including a seated board member for Women 2.0 … who he became involved with after his tweet was mentioned on “The View” TV show)\, general workplace inclusivity (completing an intensive D&I certificate at Cornell University)\, and Coding for Veterans. In addition\, he sits on the Masters of Management Analytics & AI program boards at Canada’s prestigious Queen’s University. \nPaul’s written 20 books on data analytics\, Big Data\, and AI (including 3 ‘For Dummies’ titles) and 360+ articles during the over 25 years he’s been focused on data; he’s technical enough to know that NoSQL isn’t something you put on a resume if you don’t have SQL skills and he knows JSON is a technology … not a person in his department. \nPaul’s always keeping with his grass roots … a newbie with no computer courses before coming to IBM. He knows on his dumbest days he’s never as dumb as he feels\, and on his smartest days\, he’s never as smart as he feels either. Ultimately\, Paul is trying to figure out the world according to Chloë —his daughter\, whom he notes didn’t come with a handbook and is more complex than that topic of Big Data and AI\, but more fun too. Biographies tend to get blah\, blah\, blah\, so find and follow him on Twitter: @BigData_paulz. \n\n\n\nDr. Roshawnna Novellus \, Founder and CEO – EnrichHER \nDr. Roshawnna Novellus is the founder and CEO of EnrichHER\, a financial platform that connects female entrepreneurs with lenders who want to earn a return on their investment while fueling the growth of women-led businesses. \nDr. Novellus is a gender equality advocate who believes in economic empowerment and inclusive economic growth.
