The conference will present the results of the awareness campaign and the steps ahead of the EU initiative on the Smart use of ICT and the integration of SMEs in global industrial value chains.
Attendees can benefit from Christian Reinaudo’s experience as the successful CEO of Agfa Gevaert. Mr Reinaudo will explain how in less than five years he has turned an old and declining chemical company into a global ICT products and services champion for healthcare providers. He will draw up his vision of how to pave the way of European industries employing the smart use of digital to reach the top as future global market leaders.
There will be an interactive panel session with global players in ICT and cloud computing. The experiences gathered from a Commission initiative to find the best experimental solutions based on cost benefit and value for money perspectives will be shared. The knowledge gathered in five strategic sectors (automotive, textile and fashion, agro-food, tourism, and construction) will be presented.
The event is targeted towards public institutions, business organisations, enterprises and policy makers interested in digital transformation. It would also be of interest to those who would like to know more about the European Commission policy to boost the smart use of ICT by SMEs.
