David Frigstad, Global Chairman of Frost & Sullivan, said that one of the driving value propositions of the company’s twenty-five-year journey in China has been telling the story of the companies that are shaping the global economy. These are the companies that are integrating disruptive technologies. They compress the customer value chain, understand and leverage megatrends, and bring new business models to the economy. He mentioned three elements of future as well. The first element is the global economy is going into a massive transformation similar in magnitude to the industrial transformation. The second is AI. From Frost & Sullivan’s perspective, integration of information and data is going to be a key driver of success going forward. And the third element he mentioned is all about speed and velocity. “Most importantly is the speed of implementation, developing the strategy and technology at the same time, so we could be first to market or faster and better than the toughest competitor,” said David Frigstad.
Aroop Zutshi, Global Managing Partner and Executive Board Member of Frost & Sullivan, pointed out that one of the biggest drivers of this transformation will be proliferation of technology in every aspect of our businesses moving forward. Artificial Intelligence will be both an enabler and a disrupter of traditional business models. And he also said what makes it even more exciting is the massive rise in the Chinese economy. This meteoric rise will act as a catalyst for global economic growth. Frost & Sullivan has seen companies in China building world class products and solutions to address global challenges related to economic development, sustainability, education, etc. “We expect China to lead the way in many industries across the world. This will mean more avenues for growth, especially with a thriving capital market.”
