Event overview:

Information technology has had a profound impact on modern society. In the second decade of the21st century, the "Information era" is creating new forms of business models enabling new social experience with profound technical capabilities in networked platforms and society changing
connections. žBut where does this innovation come from? how is it created, nurtured and brought to
market? Where do we see this going and the consequences for the future ?

žIn this session world class speakers will explore different aspects of the innovation and technical creativity across different industries, from software gaming to enterprise software to start-up mobile solutions.
