“By 2030, China wants to become the world leader in innovation. This leaves Western companies with some 10 years to gear up. The West has always had the best 'innovators' in the world of 'inventions' and 'research', but almost imperceptibly the Chinese have become masters in the ‘new world’ of a ‘connected contextual world’ driven by data. Data is their new goldmine, making companies like Facebook, Amazon and Google start to look like internet dwarfs alongside the ecosystems alike Alibaba, Baidu or Tencent. Pascal’s keynote “China’s New Normal” gives clear insights into the modern China, and reveals new potentials and superpowers coming from the fast and furious innovators of China. As ever more radical innovation will soon be inspired by China, this eye-opening keynote is a treat to anyone who is concerned with disruption and excited about the opportunity.”
