Main Takeaways:
- Leave a Mark: Innovating is all about having an impact. You can experiment and test as much as you want, but at the end of the day, a company is only successful if it brings something to the table that will actually help, change, or make better a part of a person’s life.
- Danger Ahead: As with any industrial revolution, there will be companies that are unable or unwilling to adapt. Those will eventually fail, while the ones that are able to innovate in practical ways will leap ahead.
- Investing in 5G: The appetite for 5G is widespread. Not only do businesses want the technology, but banks and investment firms are looking to put money into companies that are taking the move to 5G seriously. If you cannot show that you are investing in 5G, you cannot prove to investors that you are preparing for the future.
