To be ready to face the disruption brought about by the digital economy requires two fundamental elements that will be covered during this talk. First, a good understanding of how the digital economy works, including the key concepts of the digital economy such as platforms, two-sided network effects, curation, and monetization strategies. And secondly, a deeper understanding of what it means to manage in a platform environment.

The talk will be followed by networking. Light refreshments will be served thanks to our sponsor CLD MENA.

We hope to see you for this riveting talk!
