Industry needs transformation, not disruption
Unlike Software, Industry has large supply chains, physical assets and legacy know-how that need to be brought along in order to address our current and future challenges. Think food, energy, water, and waste management — we need incumbent industries to successfully adopt new technologies, new business models, and new efficient methods. However, scale needs both efficacy and economics.
Industry incumbents, supply chains and engineers need transformation, not disruption.
