This shift cannot be seen simply in terms of just social disruption, some of the most significant trends that have affected our lives over the last two to three years include the rise in use of new technology.   Notably, this has been felt most through advances in e-commerce, virtual learning and work, but even before the global pandemic, the initial steps towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) were clearly underway and the face of business and society was inevitably moving towards a more heavily digitized space and environment.   Fully devoted to a grand vision for its business growth, since its founding in 2015, Terminus Group is a company very much in alignment with 4IR, and Victor Ai, its ...
