President and CEO Antonio Neri will take the stage during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos to discuss the future of computing

Managing that change will require new types of computing. The opportunities ahead are remarkable if we can harness technology effectively. And it's not just our systems that will change. New types of compute will enable us to look beyond enterprise objectives, to put technology to use for the good of society and help solve some of the world's most challenging problems.
