Data is crucial for enabling better integration, which in turn leads to improved decision-making and organisational  resilience. But why is this so important right now?

Then it is about understanding what data is needed to solve problems, and using that data intelligently to make informed decisions; how to bring in the right analytical techniques be it machine learning, simulation or AI to assist with these challenges; and how to bring unstructured data into a ‘single source of truth’ in a quick and secure way.
