32nd Bled eConference – Humanizing Technology for a Sustainable Society

Bled eConference 2019


Business, Economics & Management (General)



The Bled eConference has been shaping electronic interactions since 1988. Implementation of novel information technologies leads enterprises and governments towards digital transformation. Digital transformation will not be successful, if sustainable aspect of human and social development will not be considered. European Commission (2018) emphasizes that in the future, competitiveness will be dependent on the ability to move towards sustainability, resource-efficiency and the ability to exploit the advantages of digital technologies. In the context of digital society, implementation of digital technologies and novel solutions to achieve higher efficiency, effectiveness and competitive advantage is insufficient. Society calls for different economy models; more responsible, righteous and less exploitative. Digital technologies should be used to implement and design business models, which will be sensitive for sustainable development in all aspects – economic, environmental and social (triple bottom line). The community of Bled eConference aims to remain an active contributor in shaping of economic and social growth, with environmental sensibility, and thus raising wellbeing of citizens around the world.
