Antwerp. March 2026
How do you lead when the map runs out, and AI is redrawing the coastline faster than anyone can chart it? The question took us from a great 15th century Chinese fleet that mapped half the world and then burned its own records, via the Arsenal of Venice, where 16,000 workers ran the first assembly line on earth for a republic that lost because it wanted to be like its rival, to the Phoenicians, who solved a bookkeeping problem by inventing our alphabet.

How do you stay ahead in a field where mistakes cost lives and research can save them, while AI and robotics are changing the rules? The question took us from Columbus, who got stuck on his way to discover America, via Gutenberg's printing press, to the Sun King Louis XIV's royal physician and a Bell Labs corridor that produced nine Nobel Prizes.
