Philippe Vogeleer, an international expert in the field of IT and digital transformation, delivered a lecture "Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence: Global Trends and Practical Solutions" at the L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University. The event was organized by the ENU Graduate School of Business in cooperation with the National Academy of Corporate Governance (NACG). The lecture was held offline and online as part of the MBA, EMBA and DBA programs.

The event was attended by business representatives, specialists of the higher education system and employees of the quasi-public sector.

The event was opened by the ENU Vice-Rector for Strategic Development and Internationalization Duman Aitmagambetov, stressing that the presentations of world experts at the university are an important initiative that gives impetus to the development of science and education. He also noted that such meetings strengthen ENU's international cooperation and promote integration into the modern educational space.

During the meeting, Philippe Vogeleer shared his experience on current trends in digital transformation and artificial intelligence, their impact on business and society, and offered several practical solutions. He stressed the importance of artificial intelligence and digital technologies to enhance the global competitiveness of Central Asia.:

"Today, 3.4 billion people in the world remain outside the digital space. Reducing this gap could bring about $3 trillion to the global economy. Artificial intelligence provides fundamental changes in medicine, education, transport and agriculture.
