The 6th Cloud Forum

For a number of years, the Cloud Forum continues to be a regular cloud event organised by Kornerstone and produced by PowerMind. The primary focus is to gather business elites whose activities are transformed by the cloud.

At our last Cloud Forum we explored at length about the cloud strategies that sustain business competitiveness which include the use of AI, Blockchain and of course Big Data. Since then, we see cloud deployment being ever increasing in sophistication; edge computing and mobile computing continue to be on the rise. Cloud based automation, analysis and optimisation, together with the arrival of 6G, the landscape is crowded with all sorts of possibilities and associated solutions.

We are tuning our antennae towards four, among countless industries:

  • Financial
  • Manufacturing / Retail
  • Real Estate
  • Healthcare

You will find our contents to be rich with direct and indirect references to these industries, we expect you all to be well intrigued afterwards.
