At FIIB, our Centres of Excellence (COEs) serve as interdisciplinary hubs that bridge research, industry, and policy to address some of the most pressing challenges shaping business and society. Focused on Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Responsible Management, and Behavioural Insights, these centres foster collaborative research, thought leadership, case writing, and capacity building while creating opportunities for meaningful engagement between academia, industry, and policymakers.
FIIB Research Conference (FRC) 2027 is a natural extension of this vision. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape economies, organisations, and societies, the conference leverages the expertise of FIIB's Centres of Excellence to examine AI governance through three interconnected lenses—Behaviour, Business, and Moral Economy.
By bringing together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, FRC 2027 reflects FIIB's commitment to advancing responsible, evidence-based approaches to AI and creating research that informs practice and drives meaningful impact.

Overarching Theme: Aligning Technology, Policy, And Purpose
The rapid diffusion of AI across organisational decision-making has exposed gaps in regulatory coherence and institutional oversight. CIET advances research on policy translation, institutional environments, strategic transformation, and innovation governance necessary to operationalise trustworthy intelligence while sustaining competitiveness.
Track 1: Policy, Regulation, And Institutional Environments For AI
- Regulatory translation from policy to practice
- Institutional logics and implementation success
- Comparative institutional environments
- Interoperability of regulatory and certification systems
- Accountability and liability in hybrid human–AI decision contexts
Track 2: AI Impact – Future Of Work In Technology-Enriched Environments
- AI, automation, and job transformation
- Workforce skills and organisational learning
- Human–AI collaboration and value creation
- Organisational adaptation to intelligent systems
Track 3: AI Transformation, Strategy, And Emerging Venture Models
- Business model innovation and strategic renewal
- Corporate–startup collaboration in AI innovation
- Organisational structure, talent strategy, and leadership in AI-driven enterprises
- Governance of AI-enabled entrepreneurial ecosystems
AI is changing how we work, build businesses and make decisions. The challenge is to turn that progress into lasting value while keeping people's judgement, opportunity and trust at its centre. At FRC 2027, CIET brings this challenge into focus by connecting technology, policy and purpose.
