Join us for an insightful panel session entitled
“Empowering SMEs: Blockchain & AI for Sustainable Stakeholder Value,” where we explore how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can effectively align with global sustainability efforts. This session is designed for SMEs who are eager to understand how cutting-edge technologies like blockchain and AI can revolutionize their business practices, drive value creation across all stakeholders, and position their businesses for success in a rapidly evolving world.
Our panel features experts with deep expertise in valuing intellectual capital in SMEs from The Areopa Group (a knowledge management organization funded by the EU), alongside blockchain and AI specialists who will share practical insights and strategies. These thought leaders will demonstrate how leveraging these technologies can help SMEs navigate complex global sustainability issues, making them not just participants but leaders in the transition to a more sustainable economy.
We’ll also be showcasing pioneering work with the Value Model—a comprehensive framework that empowers SMEs to measure, understand, and enhance value creation across all stakeholder groups. Whether you’re looking to attract investment, retain talent, or build stronger customer relationships, this session will provide you with actionable strategies to maximize your impact.
As we approach the post-SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) era, it is crucial for SMEs to adapt and thrive in a world increasingly focused on sustainability and long-term value creation. Our discussion will cover how SMEs can prepare for this future by embracing technologies that not only improve efficiency but also foster resilience and innovation in the face of existential challenges.
This session is more than just a discussion—it's a call to action for SME leaders who want to be at the forefront of change, creating increasing value for all key stakeholders. Join us to discover how you can empower your business to contribute to a sustainable, prosperous future for all.
