Innovation is the Only Way to Win
Prof Alexandre Mottrie, founder of ORSI Academy. Performance by Ozark Henry (Piet Goddaer).
What if the best surgeon in the world could operate on you from 2,000 kilometres away? For Professor Alexandre Mottrie, that is already reality.
A pioneer in robotic surgery since 2001 and founder of ORSI Academy, Europe's leading training centre for minimally invasive surgery, Mottrie has spent decades proving that innovation is the only way to win in healthcare.
In this keynote, he takes the audience inside the revolution of robotic surgery: how it is transforming patient outcomes, breaking geographical barriers, and redefining what is possible in the operating room. The future of surgery is here and it has no borders.
Followed by Music Meets Machine. What happens when one of Belgium's most pioneering musicians hands the stage to a robot? Ozark Henry, singer, songwriter and internationally recognised innovator in immersive sound, performs live in a world first: a 10-minute set created in real time through robotic arms. Known for pushing the boundaries of sound and technology throughout his career, Piet Goddaer brings his fearless creative vision to this unprecedented collaboration between human artistry and robotic precision. A global premiere.
