Meet Adam Pantanowitz. (Adam Pantanowitz)

Adam is a member of the SingularityU South Africa faculty with a focus on biotechnology, the future of technology, and the likely possibility that tech-human convergence will be the norm in the future. Being on stage is second nature for him as he has been lecturing Engineering and Medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand since 2009.

Just as he’s passionate about teaching, he is driven to find solutions to various problems through establishing innovative businesses, especially where there's a gap in the market and potential for economic development. Adam co-founded several businesses in the technology space, such as: AURA, Tariffic, Lawbuntu, among others. He also acted as CTO of VATIT, the world’s largest VAT reclaim business.

Adam specialises in the fields of biotech and software – imagine the stuff of sci-fi novels and movies, where human and machine merge. “Brainternet” was the world’s first, portable brain-internet livestream, while his other collaborative projects include an eye-controlled wheelchair, a non-cognitive brain transmission channel and thought-controlled robotic arm. He is always searching for solutions as to how technology can aid humanity.
