Invitation to WECBOF Forum evening: Digital transformation

Join the WECBOF Forum to understand how the digital landscape is changing, how you are able to respond to the digital revolution, how to avoid any possible threats caused by digital disruption, while you make the most of the opportunities which a digital platform presents.

You are invited to our September Forum evening!

Digital Revolution? Digital Strategy? The Future is Digital? Digital Disruption? What does all of this mean for your business?

In order for our businesses to remain relevant, we need to embrace and develop a full understanding of the impact and opportunities of the digital revolution on our operations.

Recognising that the digital transformation of markets provides significant growth opportunities for the economy, the Western Cape Government’s Department of Economic Development and Tourism will come and share with us the work that they have done to understand how the landscape is changing, how you are able to respond to the digital revolution, how to avoid any possible threats caused by digital disruption, while you make the most of the opportunities which a digital platform presents.
