In a world buzzing with AI hype, how do you separate real innovation from the "bubble of expectations"? With three decades of experience on the frontiers of technology, our guest, a self-described "tech bubble collector", offers a unique, long-term perspective on the cycles of boom, bust, and breakthrough.

Tech investor and entrepreneur Nicklas Bergman joins us to share his insights. He discusses why he's skeptical about the current generative AI hype, the real "data economy advantage," and his work with the European Innovation Council's €10 billion fund to commercialise deep tech.

We discuss:

• A tech investor's reality check on the AI "bubble of expectations."

• The true "data economy advantage" and its associated privacy risks.

• Inside the European Innovation Council's €10 billion deep tech fund.

• The key ingredients for successfully commercialising scientific innovation.

• What Malaysia can learn from the Nordics to build its tech future.

For tech investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, this is an insightful long-term perspective on navigating hype cycles and building a resilient innovation economy. Catch Nicklas at MDX Summit 2025 happening at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from 17-19 Sept 2025.
