The EMTM Emerging Technologies Seminar
So what is the next new thing? What should you be preparing for that now only exists as an idea incubating in the research labs? In a world where some product cycles are shorter than an academic term, how do you stay ahead? EMTM's Emerging Technologies Seminar (ETS) creates a pipeline of knowledge about emerging technologies and technology issues.
The ETS series invites faculty from Penn Engineering and Wharton, as well as other scientists and business executives, to update EMTM students on the view from their vantage point, whether that perspective is from the research lab or the board room. Seminars range from emerging technologies to special topics in established technology fields.
