09.05–10.05 Keynote: You’ve All Misunderstood Digitalization
Digital technologies are transforming business models and industries at an ever-faster pace. As a response, every industry is catching up with a “digitalization” strategy. The problem though, is that we’ve completely misunderstood the concept of digitalization.
Keynote speaker Ashkan Fardost, is a Hyper Island collaborator, scientist and global speaker, with passion for how digitalization affects human behavior. He is a regular guest in Swedish television, where he talks on upcoming trends and technology.
