Info & Registration

The volume of data collected by companies has exploded in recent years, leading to the concept of ‘Big Data’. If properly processed, this data represents a significant wealth of information, with immense potential to help the business improve its decision-making process. However, experience tends to show that, for many companies, exploiting this data remains a real challenge.

This seminar is organised by HEC Liège Executive Education and the Digital Lab.
