BIM group (Technology and Operations Management department) launched Moonshot Thinking Events, bringing thought-leaders in their respective industry sectors with a unique story to tell – whether that is a groundbreaking technology they are working on, an idea they believe in, or an innovation that will reshape the world as we know it.

The purpose of these events is to bridge academia and practice and open up opportunities for research collaboration & idea exchange.  

The next event will take place on December 2nd, 16:30-17:15 at Polak Building, Y1-08, followed by drinks and snacks, giving an opportunity for networking and further discussion in an informal setting. The event will also be live-streamed for those wishing to attend online. This time we are bringing Nick Hilhorst, Head of Public Policy Northern Europe at Uber. 

Nick will talk about Uber’s moonshot ideas, how they imagine mobility in the cities and how one of the biggest tech companies in the world deals with regulatory challenges as they try to roll out their disruptive technology across the globe.
