Podcast: Future of Technology
The pandemic has transformed how business is being conducted on both sides of the Atlantic. Many organisations have managed to adapt to the new environment and in many cases digitalization helped change the way they operate. This podcast series attempts to answer how the Pandemic has induced digitalization across the various sectors and how it has sped up innovation or the adaptation of new technologies.
Concretely, these areas include:
- Data/privacy and cybersecurity
- Financial transactions/payments/distributed ledgers/blockchain
- Digital Health
- Business Processes (AI, legal and logistics)
- Manufacturing (3D printing, supply chain, robotics)
We hope you will enjoy what our members have put together!
