  • What jobs are at risk from automation?
  • What jobs might exist in the future as a result of automation?
  • What are the ethical and societal impacts that automation will have in Northern Ireland?
  • How can we support education and employers to get ready for jobs that don’t exist yet and what skills will be needed?
  • What are the opportunities and challenges for Northern Ireland?

Each year Connect invites Northern Ireland’s top academic research professors, most innovative corporations and leaders from our startup community to nominate the Connect Shapers; people who have demonstrated brilliance in their field and a restless curiosity to find answers to the biggest questions facing society. Together, the Shapers define the key questions from the 4th Industrial Revolution and design the platform from which anyone can learn while meeting other people who share that curiosity.
