Get better connected across Europe and Asia

With around 50% of the Asia Pacific workforce expected to be made up of millennials by 2020, analyst house IDC notes that the digital generation is rapidly adopting ‘high potential innovation accelerators’ such as augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR), artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.

This trend is fuelling significant investment both from and into Asia, with hundreds of European companies visiting Asian markets under EU funded schemes to forge business partnerships in industries such as healthcare, pharmaceutical and energy. But it’s not just ‘traditional’ industries that are interested, digital natives such as Spotify, Monzo and AirBnB are also looking to the region for growth opportunities.

Furthermore, China’s launch of its One Belt One Road (OBOR) plan to connect Asia to Europe mirrors the historical concept of the Silk Road and will have significant global economic implications.

The original Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes designed to enable merchant traffic between east and west, and a similar network is being established today to carry digital traffic between the same locations.
