På scenen og i samtalen
Sahra-Josephine Hjorth er dansk iværksætter, investor og AI-ekspert, og hendes oplæg ligger i krydsfeltet mellem kunstig intelligens, uddannelse, demokrati og kvinders økonomiske styrke. Hun blev fremhævet som et navn at holde øje med på Real Leaders' liste over verdens 50 bedste keynote-talere, hvor Lewis Hamilton blev nummer to, og i 2022 blev hun udvalgt til Obama Foundations Leaders: Europe-program.
Hun har introduceret præsident Barack Obama på scenen ved Copenhagen Democracy Summit, siddet i panel med blandt andre den venezuelanske oppositionsleder Leopoldo López og den danske erhvervskvinde Stine Bosse, og er blevet interviewet på scenen af blandt andre Clement Kjersgaard.
Arbejdet har ført hende til fire kontinenter: fra Copenhagen Democracy Summit og Obama Foundations arrangementer i New York og Madrid til LuxuryLab Global i São Paulo og Mexico City, TechBBQ i København og universitetsscener i Lima og Aalborg. Hendes oplæg er direkte, konkrete og talt fra førersædet: hvad der faktisk skal til for at bygge AI-drevne virksomheder, forretning på tværs af landegrænser og organisationer, der kan holde til presset.
Et udvalg af oplæg og optrædener — listen er ikke udtømmende.
