Key sector and societal challenges involving tech advances catalyzed by COVID-19 include:
• The use of data science and AI for pandemic surveillance and impact assessment
• How investors consider the impact of virus spread on consumer behavior trends
• Practical limitations of data and AI tools in assessing investment opportunities
• Who will be the long-term winners and losers in the COVID-19 driven digital evolution
Gain insights into these issues with Dr. Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, at Tudor Investment Corporation, 100WF Board member, and member of 100WF's FundWomen visibility initiative.
