4th Chief Digital Officer Hong Kong Summit
Stop. Start. Accelerate. It is the new digital imperative for companies, forever changing the trajectory and velocity of digital transformation of traditional players, digital natives, and new startups. But achieving this imperative is never going to be easy, neither can you do it alone. You need the right infrastructure, data, technologies, talent, processes, partners and ecosystem.

You will hear first-hand how your peers create value in a complex business environment, what consultants advice as future business models, what key trends that analysts think will shape your universe, how to unlock more out of your data, and what secrets there are to creating ecosystems that shape the success of your company.
