Sectors

Financial Services

Towards new market trends

Financial Institutions evolve within a context where competition is more and more growing, where new players are in the place, where technology transformation leads every aspect of the value proposition, where customers require more tailored-made services.

The sector must think beyond traditional financial services. Institutions will have to revisit the customer journey and focus more and more on innovation, digitalization, protection against cybersecurity, data valorization and online services.

Energy

Leaving a model for another one

Energy sector’s most important challenge is to fastly abandon the fossil-based model of production and accelerate the transition towards decarbonization.

At global and local levels, the new energy models imply not only to invest and support more development on renewable sources of energy but also to support new energy consumption ways..

2050 is the target for decarbonizing our energy systems. Producers, consumers, governments and civil societies will have to collaborate closely to make it happen.

Media & Communication

Conveying clear messages to targeted audiences

Conveying the message to the audience is more and more challenging. Sector must be used with the new territories as mobile devices and social networks. They also need to identify new players as influencers.

The digital challenge is key for this sector. It is not only a matter of reproducing what is ln the traditional channel (like tv, radio or newspapers) to a set of digital supports. It is also a matter of creating specific and interactive content for mobile audiences that also has the ability to create and spread content. Furthermore, integrity and accuracy of the information are critical. Fake news is not only a threat for media and communication actors, it is also a threat for economies and political systems.

In this field, artificial intelligence will be, amongst others, a key track to explore.

Information Technologies

Unlock and foster organizations potential through IT

How to unlock and foster human and organizations potential ? Those are two majors purposes of innovation in information technologies sector. Certainly, artificial intelligence stands as first-rank priority in the digital journey of organizations from any kind, from private sector to public bodies and not-for-profit institutions.

In various ways, from robotic process automation to cloud migration, from IoT to blockchain, information technologies will support organizations to better server their customers or their beneficiaries. The ever evolving innovation will strengthen their capabilities to refine data interpretation, be more more accurate, more complete, more secure and more error-proof. As a gain, organizations become more responsive, more efficient, more open to opportunities with a better visibility on the balance of costs and benefits.

Government & Public Bodies

Less, more or better government ?

No matter what, there will always be a Government. For the last 20 years, financial crises or recent pandemics have shown that governments are always called to intervene as a last resort.

Governments and Public Bodies are more than just political and administrative structures.

Governments are holistic actors because they also are producers, consumers, investors, employers, conflicts and crisis situations managers.

Facing more challenging times, issues have to be addressed with tangibles solutions which benefits, costs and (un)desired impacts are rightly assessed. Governments will have to drive more and more towards new culture and ways to interact with their populations and become more agile in the setting of their priorities. Amongst many challenges ahead: reduce the bureaucratic organization, seek for more transversalities, revisit how they recruit, train and empower people and staffing.

There is a need to reflect on a new Health paradigm where new technologies, including digitalization and use of artificial intelligence, new expertise mastered by talented and recognized workforce lead to a better and affordable health care system for all.

To reach this out, public authorities and healthcare stakeholders will need to work together.

At the edge of the Industry 4.0, many intertwining questions will arise like the pace of automation and digitalization leading to a complete review of the industries processes, the place of big data, IoT and 5G and the impact on the qualified workforce.

It also sets the basis for a more fundamental debate about industries relocation in our countries and its effect on logistic efficiency and on a better respect for environment and people.
