In this week’s Immigration Law for Tech Startups podcast, I am joined by a renowned guest, Maurice Conti. He is a futurist and deep tech authority who serves as an advisor to the National Academy of Sciences. He has helped companies like Nike, Tesla, Disney, Airbus, and Google understand what’s coming in the future and how to prepare.
Maurice’s speeches have been watched all around the world, including over 12 million views of his TED Talks. Currently, his focus is the metaverse. He is an applied futurist who’s not just trying to figure out what’s coming in the future, but what these new technologies will be and how to start building them now.
We talk about how the intersection of humanity, immigration, innovation, and work technology impacts the future of work, what that is going to look like for international workers, and what technologies people are going to be building.
