Episode Description
The buzz: “The smart city is a gift, a chance to transform old and slow systems and structures into a smart future.” (J. Nürnberger whatsupgermany.de/smart-city-quotes). By 2025, 4.7 billion people will live in urban areas (Deloitte), with technology playing a key role in the global movement to cities and how cities prepare for this growth. What exactly is a “smart city”: Wi-Fi everywhere, state-of-the-art transportation management, something else, all of the above? We’ll look at smart cities like Masdar City, Belmont, and NEOM to learn how they planned and who benefits. The experts speak. Tom Raftery, SAP: “I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact” (Elon Musk). Michael Rander, SAP: “The future depends on what you do today” (Mahatma Gandhi). Dante Ricci, SAP: “People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost” (Dalai Lama). Join us for Future Cities: Role of Technology in Global Urbanization.

Digital transformation is changing every facet of the way we live and work. Technology is behind everything from automation, to connectivity and the experience economy. Industries and infrastructures know innovation is imminent. Yet only a small fraction of organizations feel they have mastered digital to a point of differentiation from their competitors.
Join host Bonnie D. Graham as she invites you to take an additional coffee break with game-changers for our series on how innovation leaders are embracing digital transformation to redefine their business models and outcomes, no matter the industry, on "Reinventing Life and Business with Game-Changers."
Let’s discuss the impact digital innovation is having on our world, from boardrooms to bots and beyond, and how a combination of intelligent technologies, services, and industry expertise are helping businesses optimize processes and resources, to ignite innovation and improve every area of business.
