Export USA Webinar, December 9: Become Part of Smarter Planet Solutions

(Canadian Trade Commissioner Service)

Learn how you can participate in IBM's Smarter Planet Solutions Global Value Chain.
Smarter Planet Solutions address today's challenges such as climate change, energy, and global supply chains for food and medicine. Adopting these smarter solutions will reduce your carbon footprint and give you a competitive edge in the U.S. market.

As the world continues to get “smaller” and “flatter”, we see now that being connected isn't enough. Fortunately, something else is happening that holds new potential: the planet is becoming smarter through more intelligent systems, processes and infrastructure.

Kim Devooght, IBM Canada's Vice President, Public Sector, will discuss IBM's perspective related to these challenges and highlight opportunities for Canadian organizations in the North American context.

Why should you participate? You will:
• Understand IBM's smart planet focus;
• Gain a perspective on this emerging and dynamic technology trend;
• Learn how your company can partner with IBM to deliver Smarter Planet Solutions.
