Speakers will include high-level policymakers, technology consultants and industry leaders, among many others.Our five webinars will assess how firms are operating in the context of COVID19 and the progress being made to identify short and long term actions to embrace technological change. The discussion will cover topics of digitalisation, operational resilience and sustainability, as well as emerging technologies relating to artificial intelligence, cloud, digital assets, data and cybersecurity.
