Day 4 of Digital Week Online Spring 2021 is “Innovation Day”. Investments and innovation work closely together. The panel “Investments in innovations – 2021 trends” has brought in speakers from different background.

Anndy Lian, Advisory Board Member, Hyundai DAC; Member of Gyeongsangbuk-do Blockchain Special Committee

“COVID19 has changed mindsets, it brings businesses out of their comfort zones. It also gives traditional businesses a chance to adopt new technologies, maybe crypto too.” Anndy Lian said. Gordon Einstein echoed by saying “Crisis is an opportunity for change.”

The panel also discussed how the west and east look at innovation. Richard Wang commented and quoting AI as an example. “USA has better technology in term of the algorithm. China has a good market. they have a huge market. But I do believe we have a substantial advantage over USA companies.” Aly Madhavji countered by saying data availability and protection is the key. “China has a different philosophy, and they actually tend to look at it more collectively. Their government can help to enable access to major companies to that data. But in Europe, it is very difficult to do these things.”

Lastly, Gordan asked where are the other opportunities that we should look out for. Nisa Amoils mentioned South East Asia and Africa. Anndy Lian also agreed with Nisa. “We should look at ASEAN as a bloc, there is a population of 700 million. This will be a big region for adoption and business for innovation.”
