On November 28th, in its Santa Teresa Campus, ITAM organized the “Digital Transformation” conference, an event that gathered leaders of the USC Marshall School of Business and ITAM to discuss the most recent issues in digital transformation.

Encouraging the Idea Exchange

The USC’s Marshall Initiative on Digital Proficiency wants to discover ideas through collaboration between industry professionals and academic of fields related to business, as well as broadcast this knowledge with a wide audience that includes intellectuals and business leaders.

During five lectures and three academic sessions, the attendees had the opportunity to listen to outstanding academics and industry professionals in the field of digital transformation, a subject that’s rapidly and constantly growing and makes important questions on the consequences for society, companies and the global economy due to the propagation of digital platforms.

Daniel Sokol, co-director of the USC Marshall Initiative on Digital Competition, remarked:

“The digital transformation presents new regulatory and competitive challenges for big and small companies. Sharing experiences between mexican and american academics helps to develop public politics and guidelines for both sides of the border”.

Exploring the Digital Future

The “Digital Transformation” conference offered a platform to explore the emerging tendencies and future development in the field of digital transformation. Through several conferences and lectures, the attendees had the opportunity to analyze how the technological innovations have been forming business models, regulations and competitions in the global panorama.

During the first conference, “The Future of Digital Financial Regulation”, Dr. Lucía Buenrostro, vice president of regulatory policy in the National Banking and Securities Commission, addressed the practical challenges of the banking regulation, focusing in digital progress, the growing presence of fintechs as actors in Mexico and the comparison of domestic and foreign legal framework, as well as the necessary equilibrium to promote competition and protect the consumer.

Likewise, the commissioner chairwoman of COFECE, Andrea Marvan Saltiel, shared the COFECE’s experience in the exercise of its attributions in digital markets. She stressed the importance of institutional coordination between competition regulators, consumer protection and privacy to approach the challenges in the digital sector.
