“Our target is to deliver a super sports car, and these specifications don’t exist with a battery package in terms of energy and power. A super sports car is an emotion. It must be perceivable based on acceleration, the emotion the car must give you.”

​”We think there’s a big audience [for self-heating cans and technology], but we’re targeting Millennials, who are interested in convenience, innovation and portability. We also think this will really resonate with commuters. Some of our partners are looking at four-packs to take home, where you’d grab one as you leave the house to take with you to enjoy on the way to work, whether it’s in the car or on the train.”

“Advertising formats that are useful to consumers—I think there needs to be a lot more innovation on that front. The good news is with the advent of augmented reality, virtual reality, machine learning and those things, I think there’s a potential to make that happen.”

“A big technology trend I’m noticing at the moment is that people are craving more sensory experience. In some ways we are numbed to feelings in general and technology is reflecting that. The more time people spend on screens, the more they will want three-dimensionality.”

“If Google drives us to work, then we just added another hour of work to our day, because we’ll be expected to work during the commute. If we don’t have time to make appointments, and now the robot can do it for us, we’ll use the time we just freed up for more work… Because we have more time, we’ll be expected to do more.”

“Whereas most millennials have access to two screens, Gen Zers use five. Undoubtedly, incorporating digital into packaging is no longer an option, but a required way to remain relevant.”

“[Blockchain is] now moving out of the lab and going mainstream. As with [artificial intelligence]: we should make the most of this new opportunity to innovate.”

“Voice assistants create a more compelling level of interactivity between users and brands because they leverage a more organic form of communication.”

“Facebook will lose 2 million users ages 24 and younger this year”
