What it's about:
The race to shape our digital future is accelerating worldwide. Yet we're already in the midst of an exponential process of change that will fundamentally transform the development of businesses, consumers, governments, and now, of humanity itself.
How did it all start and what do we already know about the next 3-5 years?
We discuss the following topics:
- Who are the winners of this development and who are the losers?
- Shaping the markets of the future – when will the world truly become global?
- What do I need to know today, what do I need to do today?
- Which technologies do I need to master today – augmented reality, artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous systems,… and how do I deal with them as a company?
- How does digitalization change our behavior, our way of working, and our customer relationships?
- What exactly does the digital transformation of products and services mean?
- How important is timing and how can I assess it?
- Does the future belong to startups?
In a short, inspiring talk followed by a moderated discussion, we will focus on shaping our digital future and determine how we can be among the winners.
