Shaping the Future of Digital Economy and New Value Creation
Watch the overview
Navigating industry disruptions, transitioning to a new normal.
The Platform on Digital Economy and New Value Creation helps companies leverage technology to be agile in the face of disruption and to create the new digitally enabled business models for a new normal – post-COVID, purpose driven, sustainable and inclusive.
The unprecedented disruption by COVID-19 is accelerating the urgency for agility, adaptability and transformation. Industry structures and business models are being disrupted – and the digitalization of the economy is being rapidly accelerated. An estimated 70% of new value created in the economy over the next decade will be based on digitally enabled platform business models. However, 47% of the world’s population remain unconnected to the internet.
This Platform leverages its extensive community of over 500 senior leaders and depth of digital transformation expertise to equip companies to respond to challenges of today and lead into the economy of tomorrow.
