Testimonials

I really learned a lot from BizTech! I learned why VR can become the future development technology, what VR/AR can do, such as increasing the original affordance in our lives, etc.

One of the guests' explanation of NFT was very profound to me. He talked about the future NFT can be used to store important documents such as transcript or bank information. This method can permanently save the information on the block chain.

I was not very interested in the business aspect before, but this time, the discussion of business with some virtual reality technology and partial tech knowledge is very attractive to me.

The guest speakers also explained many concepts very clearly, especially one of them took an insurance company as an example to discuss how E-commerce is applied in various fields.

In general, I pretty enjoy listening to content related to future development trends.
