Towards health futures: digital innovation, infrastructure, and entrepreneurship on bio data

7-8 March 2019, Einstein Center Digital Future, Berlin

About the conference

Together, we seek to understand this destabilising character of the conjunction between “the byte” and “the gene” – digitisation and biology for health futures. We do this through the lenses of digital infrastructure, innovation, and digital entrepreneurship. The two-day workshop will be held at the Einstein Center Digital Future in Berlin (Germany).

Three profoundly destabilising ideas ricochet through the 20th century, trisecting it into three unequal parts: the atom, the byte, the gene […] each represents the irreducible unit […] of a larger whole.
