Top companies and executives reveal: How can we make a difference!

Technologies that were once the staple of science fiction movies are rapidly becoming realities. In 2016 several forums by b2b Media discussed the impact of digital technologies such as the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This year we focus on responsive and responsible leadership in IT, where decision-makers work together.

More than ever, technology is at the heart of societal and business disruption. Each day we are presented with the immense opportunities that technological and business model innovations bring. We now zoom in on how this affects employment, business models, start-up communities, etc.

By fostering open dialogue and collaboration the real progress can be made to bring these issues to the forefront and to ultimately make 2017 a revolutionary year and we should make sure that everyone benefits from the amazing opportunities of digital technology, leaving no one behind on the journey to realizing digital maturity!
