Cybersecurity, AI and digitalization at Microsoft Tech Day 2020

Microsoft Romania continues the tradition and organizes, between November 24-26, 2020, the fourth edition of the biggest tech event of the year – Microsoft Tech Day.

This year, Microsoft Tech Day will take place online and, as always, will bring together leaders in the hi-tech industry, who will present the news regarding digital transformation and innovation through technology.

Aimed primarily at IT professionals and technology enthusiasts, the event will focus on exploring the latest technology solutions for application development, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, as well as their optimal integration into business models.

Technology innovation and digital transformation today define the evolution of the business environment, being two important components of economic recovery, both locally and internationally. Microsoft invests approximately USD 16 billion annually in research and development. Through its products and solutions, the company aims to contribute to the global economic recovery, especially in the context in which the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation. Thus, new perspectives are required for global organizations, which must adopt new technologies as soon as possible in order to be able to successfully align with the dynamics of today’s economy.

During this event, Microsoft Romania aims to bring to the attention of participants, and not only, the need to develop digital skills in society, this being a component that the company places special emphasis on its programs.
