About Singularity University

FOUNDED BY FUTURISTS

Founded in 2008 by renowned futurists Ray Kurzweil & Peter Diamandis, Singularity exists to help individuals, organizations, and governments transform the way they lead, think, and create the future.
We're focused on the convergence and application of exponential technologies to deliver business and societal value.
Our unique approach to exponential thinking and technology takes a zoom in - zoom out approach. The Singularity perspective examines technologies through the lens of their applications on an individual, organizational, and societal level. Pairing this perspective with our tools and frameworks gives leaders a new mindset and lens to see the world through.
