Event Overview
Even before COVID-19 accelerated digitalization, many industries were looking to leverage e-commerce payment technologies to drive their strategic development. In tandem with other emerging technologies, e-commerce payment technology is driving traditional industries to adapt their businesses to changing markets and customer behaviors in both the B2C and B2B arenas.
In this webinar, Sean Abbott, Head of E-Commerce & Technology Solutions Asia Pacific for J.P. Morgan’s Wholesale Payments Division, and colleague Jun Takane, Head of Treasury Services Product Management at J.P. Morgan in Tokyo, will discuss how these innovative technologies could benefit companies in Japan.
In addition to showcasing successful case studies of companies in the U.S. and elsewhere leveraging e-commerce technologies to drive growth, they will also discuss how these technologies support organizational resilience and workplace reform.
