“The GSOM Emerging Markets Conference-2019 was dynamic and important event. The focus on technology, intelligent enterprises, artificial intellect and innovations was especially timely and insightful.”
Victor Taratukhin, SAP-Stanford Industry Liaison, USA
“I am very pleased to be at the Emerging Markets Conference-2019, which over the years of its existence has grown to a very decent level. GSOM SPbU managed to preserve the cultural code of both the university and the city, and even more - supplement it with its own achievements, as evidenced by the regular entry into the leading rankings of business schools in the world. If we talk about the topic of the conference, in my opinion, management in the era of digital technology should notice the trends that occur in the industry and help in formulating new ideas and approaches. I would like to see more representatives of Russian and international industrial companies at the conference in the future.”
Mieke de Ketelaere, IMEC, Belgium
“First of all, Mikhailovskaya Dacha campus is very inspiring, clean, open and has a lot of potential for growth. I believe that emerging markets play an important role in the digital transformation of business. It is important to understand that a different context requires different decisions: company managers in London, Paris and St. Petersburg will make different decisions, finding themselves with similar circumstances. Adaptability of the decision-making system to different conditions for building a business requires a multidisciplinary and multicultural dialogue, which can take place in the conferences such as Emerging Markets Conference-2019.”
