Our Story
We hope you are interested in learning more.
We live in exciting times of fundamental technological change. The pace and scope of groundbreaking scientific and technological advances coming from research facilities, start-ups and large organizations never cease to amaze us. The “science fiction” of yesterday is today becoming a reality in new products products and services that we won’t be able to imagine having lived without. These rapid advances in technology, however, are doing more than providing us with new capabilities—they are changing the way we live, work and relate to one another. The convergence of digital technologies with breakthroughs in materials science and biology means that we are seeing the emergence of entirely new ways in which to live. In both subtle and explicit ways, technology is also changing what it means to be human.
As a society, we have a proven set of techniques for managing big companies and we know the best practices for building physical products. But when it comes to startups, innovation and harnessing AI we are still shooting in the dark. We are still relying on vision, chasing the “great men” who can make magic happen, or trying to analyze our new products to death. APN believes that strong institutions and capable administrations are most effective and lasting when their employees and collaborators are involved in the implementation process.
Every company across every industry is now compelled to reconsider their traditional ways of doing business to keep pace with rapidly changing technology and consumer expectations. In the coming decades, the technologies driving the fourth industrial revolution will fundamentally transform the entire structure of the world economy, our communities and our human identities. These profound changes highlight the great responsibilities we face as a civilization.
We at APN combine objectivity with a strong understanding of organizational change and an in-depth knowledge of technology solutions to help reshape your business. Our distinguishing factor, however, lies beyond our experience and technical expertise. We approach our initiatives with empathy and creativity.
