Emerging Technologies

Innovation is one of several key aspects that differentiates good processes and products from great processes and products. Novel technologies are required to enable and support innovation, to address the technical challenges presented as research and commercialization projects evolve across industries, and to ensure success of product launches and supply. The development of emerging technologies requires a myriad of skillsets, from new ways of designing, executing, and analyzing experiments to understanding how to implement these emerging technologies at scale. The development also often requires new ways of collaborating cross-functionally. This innovative thinking that is essential for emerging technologies fuels success and competitive advantage. In this session, we will discuss how novel and emerging technologies have progressed a variety of projects, and how challenges were overcome in implementing these new processes, equipment, or methodologies.
