The global COVID-19 pandemic has been such a major disruptive force globally that it has effected changes in government policies, expedited the demise and rise of industries, and forced changes in our way of lives.
With stimulus packages costing billions (and trillions) of dollars by various governments to help the people during this period, it is imperative for the business communities to act responsibly and overcome the challenges.
Participants of this Digital Roundtable will hear the various opportunities for the business communities to act responsibly and how they could leverage the stimulus packages to tide through the pandemic with innovations and technologies.
