Exclusive Workshop

The Future of High-Integrity Systems

LISBON, 20TH MAY 2022

The world is changing at a rapid pace. Digital technology is transforming the way people communicate, the way they get around, and the way they do business. This new era calls on companies to adapt or go extinct. It’s survival of the technologically fittest.

Traditionally more conservative industries like aerospace, railway and automotive face an even greater challenge to meet the demands of this technological revolution. At the heart of these industries are safety and security systems responsible for people’s lives, which means that change is approached with caution and careful consideration. And yet these industries are now facing unprecedented economic pressure to embrace the new technological landscape too.

With this in mind, Critical Software is organising the second edition of "The Future of High-Integrity Systems", an exclusive one-day workshop. The day will feature experts from some of the biggest names in industry, exploring some of the topics most relevant to high-integrity systems: Digitalisation, AI and Mission-Critical Applications and Building Strong Engineering Capabilities.

The workshop is designed to offer a unique opportunity for professionals from a variety of backgrounds to informally share experiences in a private and relaxed environment. By sharing valuable knowledge through open discussion, we’ll uncover those all-important ideas that can help businesses embrace the future of high-integrity systems.

WHEN & WHERE

The event will take place at CCB - Fundação Centro Cultural de Belém in Lisbon on 20^th May 2022.
