Global supply chains mandate 4IR adoption

Connectography – Parag Khanna

Connected mega cities the new Superpower

Connectography – Parag Khanna

• 4IR - empowered consumers in global mega cities increasingly shape retail demands

• This emerging Superpower does not recognise traditional national boundaries

• Run by emergent autonomous systems

Impact of exponential manufacturing technologies

• Exponential technologies overtake you while you are sleeping!

• X-man coupled with the 4IR present breakthrough growth opportunities for BRICS countries

Innovation as insurance against irrelevance

• Powerful, adaptive new technologies are enabling combinational innovation on an unprecedented scale

• Unlimited potential for innovative business models

Multinationals are driving exponential innovation in connected autonomous systems and infrastructure
