Every market and every industry is moving into the digital age. Every company, every city and every country needs to transform to be successful and to survive in the digital age.  While many people are tired with the phrase digital disruption, the reality is that the digital age will turn any area - from banking to healthcare, from manufacturing to retail - upside down. And yet according to a recent IMD survey 31% of all companies are still not active in building a digital plan and 38% struggle in buidling a digital strategy. And this is where it is getting relevant: It is not about the digital strategy. It is about the change in the strategy and the evolution of the business model, based on digital opportunities and technologies.

And while many established companies struggle to transform, the digital age is made for start-ups. For innovation without legacy, to disrupt the disrupters and for wealth- and job creation in nearly every country. Linking start-up's  and young companies with the Enterprise's is critical and is key for both sides. For Enterprises this in not only a great way to get new technology, if it is done well, it can be a fundamental part of their digital transformation and new agility.

The new decade - THE DIGITAL 20th -will be the most dynamic decade ever. It will bring likely more fundamental change to the society and to business than at any other time before. Therefore and for many more reasons, we believe that this new decade has more opportunities than any decade before. It is an exciting time to be in.
