Keynote address: Fuelling the Platform Economy

As companies recalibrate and digitalize their business model, many look to platforms as their future — to become one or be part of one. McKinsey calls this Ecosystem 2.0. It is also becoming an important drive to sustainability and ESG-related goals. But while joining a platform opens up direct-to-customer opportunities and unlocks business agility, it also can introduce new competitors, disrupt traditional product lines and dilute your value proposition in a crowded online world. As a business or technology leader, how should you scale your platform aspirations? Hear Justin Dustzadeh, Equinix’s CTO and Uber’s ex-Platform Head live. He will use his in-depth platform experience to provide thought-provoking takeaways that people don’t realize until it is too late. He will be joined by Jeremy Deutsch, President, Asia-Pacific who will share how Equinix is helping its customers to compete in the platform economy and drive sustainability through Green IT. 3 reasons to attend: - Get direct and practical platform advice from industry leaders - Understand how Equinix’s Platform Equinix Vision enables you to deploy your digital infrastructure anywhere - Learn real-world case studies on creating and scaling platforms
