Jasper will give an introduction to X, The Moonshot Factory of Alphabet, and share his learnings from 9 years of working on innovation at Google and X. In the talk he’ll dive into the people, culture and organization needed to fuel moonshots such as self-driving cars, delivery drones and robotics.
X – The Moonshot Factory
X is a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Our goal: 10x impact on the world’s most intractable problems, not just 10% improvement. We approach projects that have the aspiration and riskiness of research with the speed and ambition of a startup.
