Behind every cutting-edge innovation is a physical and digital infrastructure that is rapidly being reshaped.

From the minerals required to build hardware, to the energy that powers datacenters and Bitcoin mines, to the cybersecurity systems that keep digital assets safe, to the strategic decisions that determine how (and whether) new technologies are adopted.

In this special panel, Briefs Finance brought together four leaders working at the frontier of this transformation:

• Dr. Liz Dennett, CEO of Endolith, whose work in biomining and geomicrobiology is redefining how we source the minerals required for modern technology.
  
  
• Sydney Bright, Bitcoin mining educator and infrastructure strategist at Abundant Mines, offering a data-driven perspective on energy use, mining economics, and the realities of operating high-load computing in the real world.
  
  
• Rebecca Krauthamer, Co-Founder of QuSecure, a leading voice in quantum-safe cybersecurity and digital sovereignty.
  
  
• Neil Sahota, AI strategist, former IBM Master Inventor, and advisor on enterprise and societal adoption of artificial intelligence.

Together, they explored the hidden forces shaping the next decade of innovation - the ones most consumers never see, but investors should.
