View Brand Publisher10th edition of TiECon 2019 to venture into ‘unexplored’ territories in tech and entrepreneurship. Don’t miss it.
TiEcon Mumbai, one of the biggest global technology and entrepreneurship conferences, is back. In its 10th edition this year, the annual flagship event of TiE Mumbai will be held on February 5 and 6, 2019 at the NCPA in Mumbai.
As with previous editions, the annual conclave will bring together eminent thought leaders, industry influencers, innovative startups and key decision-makers from the government under the same roof to deliberate on the most relevant topics, inspire disruptions and showcase innovative products and solutions.
Exploring uncharted territories for the future of business
The theme for this year’s TiEcon Mumbai is “Unexplored”. As businesses across the world jump onto the digital bandwagon, there are a number of areas which need more examining. Through this conclave, the organisers seek to throw light on four broad areas:
Digital globalisation: Business without boundaries: In the evolving world of e-commerce, how can organisations seamlessly expand into new regions? On the other hand, how do they stay relevant on their home ground with the largescale influx of bigger global players?
Embracing generational change: How can businesses cater to the younger consumer of today who is more concerned with experiences rather than ownership?
Future-proofing your business: Today Artificial Intelligence, Deep Tech, and Blockchain are more than just tech buzzwords. How can businesses wanting to stay relevant, make the best use of these technologies? What are the brand values that will matter in tomorrow’s world?
The future of workplaces: What is the work-place of the future going to look like and how will it affect the organisational model? What is the future of entertainment? How can companies practice ethics at a global level?
