Brought to you with the support of Gold Coast City Council (Drinks & Food provided) we have an amazing internationally renowned speaker in Dr David Martin to engage with our start-up community early in the New Year.
Before January 1971, the Santa Clara Valley was know as the “Valley of Heart’s Delight”. It was brimming with fruit trees, vegetables and, speckled across the region were military research installations for the U.S. government. William B. Shockley, Jr. was to change all of that when, in the 1950s, he developed the silicon-based semiconductor. This amateur magician and physicist – known for his work on field effects – planted a seed that, in 70 years has consumed more human attention than most other endeavors combined: the mystique of Silicon Valley.
70 years later, we have apps, pads, and technology that keeps us “in-touch” virtually. But at the same time, we’re watching politicians mortgage our future on economic illusions, we’re watching disease spread with greater ease, we’re experiencing ethnic, class, religion, and ideological conflict that rivals the conditions of war that created Silicon Valley. Today’s entrepreneur has the capacity for conscious impact. Today’s entrepreneur can be a social alchemist. Today’s entrepreneur can radically transform the very nature of business. But to do this, we need different models.
David Martin, Founder and Chairman of Mosaic Technologies, M∙CAM and their affiliated enterprises, has demonstrated radically effective business models that engage matter and energy in innovative ways; build collective, collaborative enterprises; re-examine and re-deploy knowledge from across the entire arc of humanity; unleash torrents of capital for maximum impact; build technologies deployed in every country on Earth; and honor the fullness of human potential. He will share with us the irreducible certainty that a future is attainable in which our field effect can be based on a humanity that includes us all!
David is a very compelling speaker, able to tailor his message to the audience in a way that makes it relevant and applicable. His work in technology innovation and his experience in innovation finance makes him someone not to be missed. He is passionate about supporting start up communities to consider all-in-accounting and consequence management of innovation.
