Industry 5.0 and The Emerging Futures of Strategy and Competitiveness

This year, our ReTech Center Annual Conference is focused on the emerging futures of societies and industries and the foundational shift of strategy and competitiveness across sectors and geographies toward Industry 5.0. Following a keynote by our Vice Dean Prof. Saman Sarbazvatan on the above, and the welcome address of our Dean, Prof. Alon Rozen, we delve into the insightful conversations with stellar speakers and senior fellows of ReTech Center.

Industry leaders and expert practitioners will discuss the intersection of responsible leadership of technology and innovation with strategy and competitiveness in various sectors, and shed light on the emerging futures of business and societies toward Industry 5.0.

3:30 pm - 4:00 pm

Space 5.0 - Exponential Space Economies of Industry 5.0

Space 5.0 reframes space not as a frontier but as a critical infrastructure for Earth-based transformation. At the intersection of exponential innovation and Industry 5.0, Space 5.0 activates intelligent, integrative, and ethically governed systems across orbital and terrestrial domains. This panel explores how autonomous satellites, orbital digital twins, regenerative manufacturing platforms, and space-as-a-service ecosystems reshape how we monitor the planet, power new economies, and govern interlinked futures. We examine space as a domain for climate intelligence, ethical governance, and long-term resilience, not through competition, but through symbiosis and shared planetary stewardship.

Fashion 5.0 and Reinvention of Cluster Competitiveness Dynamics

Fashion 5.0 represents the convergence of craftsmanship, culture, and emerging technologies to regenerate value creation in the luxury and fashion industry. This panel highlights how human-centered design, heritage preservation, and technological transformation (AI, digital twins, blockchain) can revitalize regional clusters, traceability systems, and circular ecosystems. Fashion becomes both a cultural carrier and an exponential innovation platform, infusing identity, sustainability, and competitiveness into the very fabric of global economies. It is where human dignity, creativity, and regenerative systems meet.

From Web3 and DAOs to Integrative Value Ecosystems of Finance 5.0

This panel explores how Web3, DAOs, and decentralized protocols are not just reshaping digital infrastructures, but actively redefining how value is created, governed, and exchanged. As the foundation of Finance 5.0, Web3 technologies offer new possibilities for tokenized governance, circular capital models, and regenerative economies that connect humans, machines, and institutions in integrative ecosystems.

Governance 5.0 and Agentic, Tokenized, and Cognitive Infrastructures

Governance 5.0 explores the integration of cognitive systems, tokenized feedback loops, and agentic automation into governance design. It reframes governance as a dynamic, intelligent, and participatory infrastructure. From cities and corporations to international systems, this panel explores how data, digital identity, and anticipatory regulation are shaping the new architectures of collective decision-making.

Executive Roundtable: Exponential Innovation for Integrative Value Ecosystems 5.0

This closing roundtable gathers the panelists in a shared conversation to synthesize key insights and explore the meeting points across sectors and clusters. The objective is to map out what leadership and ecosystems innovation mean in a world undergoing exponential

transition, where markets, technologies, institutions, and planetary urgencies intersect. The roundtable will also highlight the role of ReTech RISE Labs in advancing research, innovation, skills development, and engagement strategies for enabling cross-cluster exponential innovation.
