Join us in Singapore for an exclusive HKUST MBA & DBA Joint Info Session & BizTalks in Singapore (in-person), featuring a thought-provoking masterclass on Platform Strategy in the Age of AI. Platform business models now dominate the global economy. Companies like Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Alibaba have built powerful ecosystems by leveraging network effects—where more users create more value.
But with the rise of Artificial Intelligence, the platform model is evolving fast.
AI is transforming how platforms understand users, match supply and demand, and shape market dynamics. From TikTok’s algorithmic success to the emergence of AI-native platforms, the rules of competition are shifting.
In this insightful session "Platform Strategy in the Age of AI", Prof. Yuk-fai Fong will explore:
- Why platforms remain central to innovation and market leadership
- How AI strengthens or disrupts network effects
- How traditional companies can use AI to become platforms
- Whether the next global platform leader will be AI-native
