FUNG BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE CENTRE GLOBAL RETAIL & TECHNOLOGY LAUNCHES
GLOBAL RESEARCH WEBSITE WWW.FBICGROUP.COM
“This repository creates a worldwide conversation among
the research community,“ says Executive Director Deborah Weinswig
HONG KONG and NEW YORK (March 23, 2015) – A global discussion of retail and retail technology trends and research now has a home: the Fung Business Intelligence Centre Global Retail and Technology‘s standalone website, now launched at www.FBICGroup.com. The site houses all of FBIC’s publications, reports and independent research.
“The goal is to launch a collaborative community that can conduct a worldwide conversation on the latest retail and retail technology trends,” says Deborah Weinswig, Executive Director-Head of Global Retail & Technology.
“FBIC’s mission is to lead knowledge communities by providing comprehensive analysis and insight into retail and technology trends,” Weinswig adds. “It is our hope that this website, which will be open to all, will become a forum for retail and technology researchers around the globe.”
A joint effort designed with input from FBIC associates worldwide, www.FBICGroup.com allows users to search for and access a variety of reports and content on specific topics related to the retail, retail technology and related communities. It also contains information about the Centre, and a link to The
Fung Group, FBIC’s parent. The site, which will be updated daily, is in English, with a Chinese version to be launched in the near future.
“We strongly believe that knowledge is power and must be shared, so we have made our reports, data and analysis easy to find,” Weinswig says.
