Businesses across the world are discovering that technology convergence is opening new sales and communication channels. Convergence technologies definitely leave scope for the production of new products or services – some that may never have been offered before. This presents enormous opportunities that businesses should certainly leverage and take advantage of considering how consumers’ landscape have also evolved and businesses need to adopt new ways to meet consumers’ demands. Realizing on this importance of “technology convergence”, it is time for us to think about how to respond and cope with the challenges that traditional retail businesses are facing today.

 

The International Franchise & Entrepreneurship Conference 2019 (IFEC) organized by Perbadanan Nasional Berhad (PNS) aims to provide a platform for industry players, entrepreneurs, business owners and government agencies in Malaysia to share their insights, knowledge, experience and ideas in the area of Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Value creation. The conference will pave the way for entrepreneurs to discover what it takes to remain sustainable and how technology is shaping the franchise and retail landscape.

 

“Technology Convergence & Trends: How They Affect Franchise and Retail Landscape”

 

IFEC 2019 will be focusing on the gaps and opportunities in businesses where technology is expected, but then lack the readiness from operational standpoint, and how these technologies can make or break the business’s performance. Why wait for the market pressure to react, when you can act now and be the difference between an innovative, cutting-edge business, and a bankrupt one. Give your business the flexibility in the face of challenging economic conditions and join in the digitalization wave!

 

This 1-day conference will address some of the current technology, trends and digital transformation that are changing the business landscape, therefore creating a more competitive environment on how franchise and retail businesses are conducted.

 

Our keynote speakers will interact and engage with audience in stimulating discussions that will be addressing the new and emerging ways of doing businesses and how leveraging on technologies and innovation can help businesses expand, remain competitive, relevant and connect with their markets on an unprecedented scale.
