Business programme

Today, almost every action a person takes as a participant in the economy leaves a digital footprint – how we earn, how we spend, what we buy, where we invest, and even how we relax and what we are interested in. Everything is collected into a single digital twin in the familiar offline world. This is a world that can be analysed and thus built and developed according based on easily comprehensible vectors and mathematical laws. This creates almost limitless possibilities. Changes that lead to the creation of new business models, the transformation of relations between the government, business, and consumers, the birth of a new economic environment, alternative methods of communication, production, and consumption, and immersion in a single digital world. What digital systems are states building? How is digital transformation changing the economic space? Public and private information systems: competition or cooperation? What new trends will this bring tomorrow? How will this change us?
