Innovation Showcase Keynote Speaker: Frank Downing, ARK Invest
In the realm of disruptive technology and forward-thinking investment strategies, few names resonate as strongly as ARK Invest, spearheaded by the visionary Cathie Wood. With a mission to identify the next big breakthroughs and redefine the future of investment, ARK Invest has been at the forefront of thematic investing in disruptive innovation. We are thrilled to announce Frank Downing, ARK Invest's Director of Research for Next Generation Internet, as our keynote speaker at the 16th Annual Innovation Showcase.
In her own words, Cathie Wood encapsulates ARK's philosophy: "We're all about finding the next Big Thing. Those hewing to the benchmarks, which are backwards looking, are not about the future. They are about what has worked. We’re all about what is going to work.” This ethos drives ARK's investment process, which diverges from traditional benchmarks focused on past performance. Instead, ARK Invest is dedicated to identifying what will work in the future, positioning itself at the forefront of innovation and change.
At the heart of ARK's forward-looking strategy lies the concept of tech convergence, where various technological advancements intersect to create transformative opportunities. And who better to expound on this concept than Frank Downing, whose expertise in Next Generation Internet research provides invaluable insights into how AI is poised to revolutionize the technological landscape.
In his keynote address, Frank Downing will delve into ARK's unique approach to navigating the future, focusing on the pivotal role of artificial intelligence in driving tech convergence. From autonomous technology and robotics to genomic revolution and fintech innovation, ARK's investment strategies span a wide spectrum of disruptive technologies, all unified by the common thread of transformative innovation.
As we eagerly anticipate Frank Downing's keynote address at the Innovation Showcase, we invite you to join us in exploring the future of technology and investment with ARK Invest.
