| From WW1 Battlefields to Global Leadership in Enterprise Software & Semiconductors
Session #3 of Stanford's 'European Entrepreneurship & Innovation' speaker series showcases Flanders Belgium, one of Europe's leading regions for enterprise software and semiconductor startups and industry. One hundred years after the utter devastation of World War 1, Flanders has emerged as a province that has demonstrated a consistent ability to found, finance and grow new enterprise software and semiconductor companies aimed at the global marketplace. Our speakers represent the two main startup formation hubs in Gent and Leuven, with close ties to the University of Gent and KU Leuven. The transformation of 'Flanders Fields' and Limburg from historical foundations in agriculture and heavy industry rooted in coal mining, steel and automotive manufacturing to a tech-based economy is inspirational, and a testament to the work ethic and enduring cultural cohesion and pride of the Flemish business, university and government communities.

| Tahira Reid on When Diversity and Engineering Intersect
In this talk, Tahira will describe several research and engineering projects that were largely inspired by observations and personal experiences as a woman and a woman of color. Although engineers are called upon to address numerous problems that are human-centered, there are some problems that are best addressed by members of the population most affected. She will discuss several projects that demonstrate how the intersection of diversity, engineering, and design can help to frame novel problems and identify solutions. Read more.

| Gods and Robots: Ancient Dreams of Technology Long before technology made robots possible, Greek mythology envisioned ideas about creating artificial life—and grappled with ethical concerns about technology. As early as Homer, Greeks imagined robotic servants, animated statues, and even ancient versions of artificial intelligence. Many sophisticated robotic devices were actually built in antiquity, reaching a climax with the creation of a host of self-moving devices and automatons in the ancient city of learning, Alexandria, the original Silicon Valley. Join Adrienne Mayor as she explores how some of today’s most advanced innovations in robotics and AI were foreshadowed in ancient myth. Read more. Friday, February 1, 2019 | 12:15PM-1:30PM | 110-112
