“To survive in a rapidly changing environment,
technology is an essential component of our lives. I believe that
digitalisation in business helps to improve the efficiency of operations,
gain a competitive advantage, and ensure the continuity of business growth.
New technologies and industries are rapidly reshaping our world. But even in
this rapidly changing world of machines, artificial intelligence, and IoT,
it is the people who are imagining and building this high-tech future,” said
UTAR President Ir Prof Dato’ Dr Ewe Hong Tat at the “MPA (Master of Public
Administration) International Education Forum for Countries along the Belt
and Road & Digital Governance Case Analysis Competition”, which was held on
22 August 2022 in a hybrid session.
