On 23-April-2024, we paired the top talent in Luxembourg with some of our brightest leaders and decision makers. Luxinnovation CEO Sasha Baillie, Arendt & Medernach Partner Astrid Wagner, HSBC CEO Emanuele Vignoli and Deloitte Partner Patrick LAURENT walked us through the potential impact of macro AI & digitalization trends on our lives in Luxembourg, with lots of insights on what we can do today to position ourselves for success tomorrow. The insightful discussion was followed by a Q&A session with our top-talent audience comprising of alumni from INSEAD Alumni Association, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), HEC Paris, Sciences Po, Harvard University, CAIA Association and CFA Society Luxembourg. Here we went over the human side of the change, Luxembourg's strengths and growth areas, and regulatory support impact amongst other pertinent topics. Here are some of the key themes that emerged - Luxembourg, its government and its leaders have been doing a lot over the past few years to prepare us for the sea of changes coming our way. This puts us in a formidable position but we have to continue our sprint forward, continuing to learn and innovate. - We need to develop our risk-taking appetite, creating a supportive environment where it is acceptable to fail, learn from our mistakes and use those learnings to move forward. - While the world is moving at a lightening pace, it is critical that we also take time to slow down, embrace the human side of things, which is what differentiates us from AI. - As individuals, we should mentally gear ourselves to be curious and learn, constantly look to upgrade our skillsets, while showing empathy and kindness for those that might face greater hurdles to new technology adoption, so that no one is left behind.
