INSEAD, The Business School for the World, celebrated five years of impact of its San Francisco Hub for Business Innovation during its second Americas Conference 2025 on 7-8 February.
Over 250 business leaders, government officials, INSEAD alumni, faculty, and staff convened for insightful and lively conversations centered around the theme: ‘The Future is Now: Bridging Business, Technology, and Humanity’.
The central question driving all the debates was: How can we harness the incredible potential of AI while prioritizing the well-being of humanity. Key themes that emerged included the ability for leaders to see beyond AI hype, a need to embrace disruption, the importance of organization-wide training and the value of balancing a strategic approach with the ability to experiment.
INSEAD Dean Francisco Veloso said, “ Celebrating five years of excellence of our San Francisco Hub is a significant milestone for INSEAD. It reflects our vision, resilience, and strong foundation to make an even greater impact in North America. As we look ahead, INSEAD remains committed to delivering cutting-edge programs and transformative education, combining global excellence with regional impact. ”
