The last few weeks have seen increased stress on businesses, governments and their systems with requirements for large amounts of complex information. Without a single place to gather and analyse this data, decision-makers are unable to respond promptly, effectively and efficiently. Fragmented information can lead to inaccurate or incomplete understanding of situations resulting in incorrect decisions.
Fortunately, in today’s age, global connectivity gives us a strong advantage in addressing challenges like COVID19. It allows us to analyse significant amounts of data from different geographic locations and demographics to identify outbreaks and use AI and advanced machine learning models to predict future movement across geographies. Sharing information openly also prompts us to think about other issues such as data privacy and legislation around data sharing and cybersecurity.
Join us on this webcast where we will talk about:
- The importance of data, what kind of data is required, and how this is being collected and used
- Existing initiatives supporting businesses and governments
- How companies can further support in addressing similar challenges
- The need for appropriate legislation and framework that encourages businesses to support each other and governments in finding innovative solutions
Following this discussion, the UKIBC is intending to make a submission to the UK and Indian Governments on how businesses, academia and governments can cooperate to find solutions to similar challenges in the future.
