After trade tensions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and a downturn in the robotics market, what should entrepreneurs, investors, and customers look for? An expert panel will meet Oct. 16 and 17 in Santa Clara, Calif. We plan to analyze the latest robot investment trends at RoboBusiness 2024, which will be held at RoboBusiness 2024.
This session brings together investors and roboticists to discuss the challenges and opportunities of financing from early-stage capital to commercialization. Panelists will discuss the current state of robotics investment, which technologies and applications are finding demand, and related technologies such as artificial intelligence.
We also clarify the difference between strategic and institutional investors, the role of geography, and where the industry is heading.
This panel is part of the Driving Business track and will be held on the second day of the event at 1:30 PM PT in Room 212 of the Santa Clara Convention Center.
