Run, Don’t Walk, to the Hitachi Social Innovation Forum 2021

Register today to reserve your complimentary seat for the Hitachi Social Innovation Forum 2021.

A year ago today, few of us had any idea how our lives were fundamentally about to change, and the predominant role technology would play — both in our personal and professional lives. Technology came to our rescue in many ways, enabling massive shifts to work from home, online shopping, home deliveries, telehealth and virtual classrooms.

Although digital transformation across industries has been well underway for the past 10 years, 2020 accelerated the pace and was the tipping point for many enterprises holding back. This acceleration to digital correlated with a rapid shift in the ways enterprises were engaging with customers — placing significant focus on the digital customer experience, digital supply chains, cloud-based infrastructures, data analytics and cybersecurity.

As we look forward to 2021 and beyond, and see hope on the horizon, there is no turning back. Data-driven enterprises are paving the way toward a new digital future.
