In 2020, the world experienced several years of digital transformation in just the span of the first three months of the global pandemic. This created massive behavioural shifts in the adoption of digital technology that are expected to persist even past the pandemic, such as remote access to healthcare, online CPG/grocery shopping and remote work.

And innovation and diversification.
