We are pleased to present you this Sponsorship Package for the upcoming Vientiane Economic Forum to be held in Vientiane on 25th of January 2017. In order to make this event a success for sponsors, participants and organizers alike, we have been establishing a concept note and a schedule which are currently in the process of final validation.
The Vientiane Economic Forum
The Vientiane Economic Forum “Business Transforming Trends in the AEC” will be an essential business-focused event integrated into the Rendezvous de Vientiane which has a successful history as a major happening in Vientiane. The Vientiane Economic Forum can be regarded as one of the top three events targeting business people in the Lao PDR.
The conference is open to interested business people and consists of three plenary sessions which will include a presentation by an acknowledged expert from Europe followed by a panel session with high-level stakeholders from the Lao PDR and the region. The subsequent question and answer session will provide an opportunity to address specific topics relevant to the audience.
The opening keynote speech will address new business strategies that transform corporations and change the way SMEs do business, focusing on new trends and technologies in the financial sector.
The first session will be on new trends in the market of luxury products. Among a few general topics we’ll be developing answers to the following points:
– Changing consumer purchasing patterns and strategies and how to address them
– Strategy development to serve Generation X, Y and Z based on need-assessments
– The future of distribution: retail vs outlet vs E-commerce
– The global development of different market segments within the luxury market in the next three years
– Value creation: Master brand content and story-telling in the age of digitalisation
The second session focuses on innovations with the potential to transform the way things are manufactured. Among others, we’ll have a close look at the following topics:
– 3D-Printing and new additive manufacturing capabilities
– Technology platforms that support real-time business intelligence
– Transparent supply chains that create virtual vertically-integrated manufacturing networks
– Evolving customer preferences and the opportunities to stand out from competitors
Innovations and digitalisation in the service industry will determine the third session. We’ll focus on:
– Digitalisation and its impact on the product delivery process
– Innovations in technology and the future of service robots in different fields
– Product Development 4.0
– Product innovation and the need for Human Resource Development 4.0
