Featured topics included fintech, artificial intelligence, robotics, app development, cybersecurity, non-fungible tokens, bioinformatics, genetics and other cutting-edge tech-related subjects.

“Technology can bring about positive change in the world, and it's up to each of you to harness that power and use it to create a better future for all of us.”
