Future of Technology Forum – Silicon Valley

Accelerate Sustained Competitive Advantage Using Modern Data Infrastructure

Bringing Silicon Valley to the Nordics!

On 25th March we had a pleasure to host an exclusive virtual event to learn from Silicon Valley’s preeminent thought leaders and innovators who champion the value and impact of data for competitive advantage. This event provided  real-time insights into what is needed to accelerate the development of a modern data architecture.

In partnership with Capgemini’s flagship Applied Innovation Exchange in San Francisco, leading Silicon Valley players, Capgemini Nordics, and clients like H&M and Novo Nordisk  you will get the latest trends within the area.

Accelerated business transformation happens at an unprecedented scale as businesses rethink the meaning of data and data systems. We’re starting to see the rise of massive, complex systems built around data – where the primary business value of the system comes from the analysis of data, rather than from the software directly.

Value is amplified as a result of collaboration through new digital service platforms. The API Economy is no longer a buzzword, many businesses today have adopted an API First strategy. Data and data analytics are becoming the product. Designing and implementing new blueprints for building a modern data infrastructure will be essential for organizations of the future.

Agenda

  • Fireside Chat with Bob Muglia, world renowned technologist & former CEO of Snowflake
  • Introduction to two Silicon Valley start-ups – FiveTran & Fishtown analytics
  • Panel discussion with H&M, Novo Nordisk, Cognite, BillerudKorsnäs
