New Forms of Entrepreneurship

Evening Forum

Join SPUR and the Kapor Center this spring for a three-part series about how tech can be done right. The employment landscape of the future could look far different than what we’re familiar with today. With the advent of new technology, including advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, what will the good jobs of the future look like? What will it take to build an equitable blue-collar tech workforce? In part three of the conversation, we’ll learn how new forms of entrepreneurship are expanding the definition of the workforce. Co-presented by the Kapor Center.
