Julian So, Group CEO, XBE studied law and practiced banking law in Singapore and Hong Kong. He has 15 years of experience in the finance industry with UBS AG, Morgan Stanley and was Head of Asia Fixed Income at Mizuho Securities. 

XBE (Xtreme Business Enterprises) is a group of metaverse, blockchain and NFT technology application companies.

The issues raised range from understanding your product, figuring out your community, collaborating with partners and building a sustainable eco-system.

Each of the panellists has their peculiar challenges.

McLaren is a heritage brand, though the automotive sector is relatively young, having just crossed into its 11th year. What are the channels that would work for its marketing, and how will the needs of a shifting demographic impact its policies? By 2050 it’s expected that 60% of McLaren’s business will be from Asia.

XBE is a totally new business in an emerging industry. Trying to convince people to move into the spaces of the metaverse and blockchain pose their own challenges when the hype around the crypto currencies outshout the true intent of these tools.

True Colors presents a worthwhile platform to artists with disabilities who do amazing things given what they have to work with. They put many able bodied people to shame, but somehow never get the credit they deserve. Such is the way of the world where biases and expectations dominate the decision making.

Hear what they have to say about their industry challenges and the impact of social media giants like Facebook and Google, whose shifting algorithms would confuse a desert as it stays steps ahead of those trying to figure it out.

But there’s a more practical use for NFTs, which will ensure they will be part of the eco-system.

Getting Round The Algorithms

For those who want to get the most out of their social media accounts, believe it that the big companies are taking as much as they can from you.

And not giving you back enough.

But, here’s a way to avoid being a slave to the shifting algorithms of the big manipulators.
