PROGRAMME DAY 3- MAY 24 The infrastructure and communication layers are quickly becoming commoditised. In the future the most important asset held by organisations will be information. NATO s ability to access, analyse and act on that information in a timely way will be key to its continued success. The centre of gravity in cutting edge, military applicable research is shifting abruptly away from the defence establishment to start-ups and relatively new commercial firms. How NATO can introduce these technologies into its unique and challenging environment, transform its culture and processes to exploit them in a timely way will be its greatest challenge and define its capabilities in the future. Day 3 will focus on new, disruptive digital technologies and business models that significantly affect the value proposition of digital transformation.
