About KEI

The KEI Network is comprised of an international array of contacts interested in the forces and sources of change. Through our newsletters and public webinars we explore leadership and the clash of public and private interests, innovation and the impact of emerging technologies, including your views, panelists and guests.

More Than Five Decades of Connecting Leaders

KEI Network grew from decades of work connecting entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers and industry leaders. Founded on the belief that the right conversation can change the course of an organization, KEI has evolved into an international network focused on leadership, innovation and emerging technologies. Through publications, events and trusted introductions, we continue to bring together people who are shaping the future across business, government and academia.
