Even though the Corona crisis and its consequences dominate the public and also the discussion in many companies, technological change has by no means slowed down. On the contrary, for many companies the pandemic has proven to be an accelerator of innovation and digital transformation: Whether converting business models to mobile working, securing value chains, or acquiring customers digitally, the crisis required investments in digital infrastructure and employees‘ digital know-how. In addition, technological change – from blockchain to AI – continues at full speed, intensifying global competition.

On the other hand, the crisis has attacked the funding base in many companies, severely limiting the financing scope for investments. In an uncertain market environment, many companies must now embrace digital transformation to seize opportunities. With a digital information event as part of the Fin.Connect.NRW initiative, we would like to offer entrepreneurs assistance on how the financing of the digital transformation can succeed and what incentives are available. We cordially invite you to discuss digital with our experts on May 27, 2021 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm.

The IHK NRW and the German Economic Institute are supporters of Fin.Connect.NRW. ConMendo GmbH is a cooperation partner that provides support in the transformation context. NRW.BANK is the state’s development bank. The bank and savings bank associations are involved in Fin.Connect.NRW.
