Family Business of the Future – Study Visit
The Digital Transformation Journey
Digitisation is one of the driving transformational forces affecting all sectors of the economy. The industrial space is no exception and family businesses with industrial activities are now facing the reality of being part of a new era: The age of data and analytics.
In collaboration with Obeikan Digital Solutions and General Electric (GE) Digital, we hosted a unique event to experience the opportunities and challenges of digitisation first-hand. The two companies are partners who are at different stages of their own digital industrial journeys, and have valuable experience to share.
